		Morris took action, dispatching lettersto Colonel Oliver North, saying Grade had smeared him; to Paul Simon, saying Grade had declared him too ugly for TV (and thought Garfunkel was the talented one); and to Nelson Mandela, informing him that Grade had led the campaign to keep him on Robben Island.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Mark Lawson on Chris Morris's new TV venture
		Chris Morris, creator of Brass Eye Paedophile Special, returns to television next week with Nathan Barley, a sitcom set in the stylish, vacuous world of the Shoreditch media set.
		While it's always possible with Morris that the second episode will contain a joke suggesting that the founders of the world's major religions ran a paedophile ring, the evidence of the opening programme is that this won't be the show that regains for him the title of the TV puritans' public enemy number one.
		Morris, though, has never been a television personality in any recognised sense - as shown by his attempt, through refusing most interviews and photographs, to remain unrecognisable - and his most important contributions to his shows have always taken place in private, as a writer or the architect of nasty larks.

		Buttressed by a £100,000 budget, Morris ploughed the cash into a burst of startling digital trickery, cast Last Resort actor Paddy Considine in the lead role and turned his own inimitable public-school bark to the role of the talking dog.
		Morris, he says, was a brilliant, hands-on director, the equal of anyone he has worked with.

	Chris Morris Brass Eye Pedophilia Special
		British satirist Chris Morris has produced a hoax TV special about paedophilia, for which he invented two fake charity campaigns and invited celebrities to promote them on camera.
		For the program, Morris concocted phony paedophilia scares and conned several celebrities and politicians into appearing onscreen to make patently ridiculous claims, such as "We have footage, too alarming to show you, of a little boy being interfered with by a penis-shaped soundwave generated by an online paedophile." The Guardian describes highlights from the show.
		Morris caused similar outrage four years ago with a phony anti-drug documentary, for which he convinced unwitting celebrities and politicans to speak out against a made-up drug called "cake" (one participant declared on camera that "cake" affects an area of the brain known as "Shatner's bassoon").
