On Hands Up, Who Likes Me?: Chris Morris and the Subversive Comedy of Brass Eye
Didn't he get his start on radio? Blue Jam was a direct precursor to JAM, and On the Hour (which was basically amazing) turned into The Day Today (also amazing.) I love Brass eye, if just to imagine the outcry that followed them when they aired. You don't even have to be familiar with the celebrities they tricked into participating to enjoy their humiliation. Jam, though, is by far my favorite thing he's done. Some of those sketches are sublime.

Yeah, I got a huge kick out of going back and listening to the Mitchell and Webb Sound after years of watching Peep Show.
