Radio 4 Extra are to air a three-hour retrospective of Chris Morris's work called Raw Meat Radio.

The show will be presented by Mary Anne Hobbs, and is set to air at 7pm on November 29.

Producers have been working with the fan site Cookd and Bombd to track down rare clips, and the BBC promise plenty of material that hasn’t been aired since it was first broadcast. Archive footage will include clips from his local radio days at BBC Bristol and GLR as well as On the Hour, Why Bother? (which he made with Peter Cook) and Blue Jam.

Interviewees include Morris biographer Lucian Randall; comedian Paul Garner, who worked on Morris's radio shows; Matthew Bannister, his boss at GLR and Armando Iannucci, who created On The Hour with Morris.

'Raw meat radio' is how fellow broadcaster Danny Baker excitedly described his own first day on the groundbreaking BBC GLR in the early Nineties.

The show will be produced by Sophie Black, who was formerly in the sketch group Fat Tongue with the Cardinal Burns duo.
