FRI FRI 23:00 Blue Jam b03w472n (Listen) FRI Episode 1 FRI The mind of Chris Morris leaks onto radio in this dark, FRI dreamlike blend of low-key comedy and music. Featuring Julia FRI Davis, Mark Heap and Kevin Eldon. From November 1997. FRI Imprisoned in the infinite misery jumper? Help is at hand. FRI Chris Morris is here to help you wallow in the melancholy. FRI This opening salvo from the voice of On The Hour and The Day FRI Today features a doctor who kisses everything better, a FRI discussion of who should fill your brain-plate and a FRI gun-toting gibbon. FRI Immediately prior to Blue Jam, Chris Morris had caused a FRI furore with Channel 4's Brass Eye. Yet Blue Jam managed to FRI be a total departure from his previous work. Originally FRI airing late at night on BBC Radio 1, it's a blend of ambient FRI music, deadpan ( sometimes brutal ) sketches and offbeat FRI monologues. A whole audio landscape of the subconscious, the FRI ad-hoc low-fi sheen of production lending it a kind of FRI verisimilitude. FRI In sharp contrast with the personality-led comedies of FRI recent years, Blue Jam makes a virtue of anonymity. It's a FRI surprise to learn who's in it, or that it is in part written FRI by Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews. Rightly winning a FRI clutch of Sony Awards, it remains unique - nothing before or FRI after was remotely like it. FRI
