Claire Bolderson profiles the satirist Chris Morris.

Best known for his cult TV shows The Day Today and Brass Eye, he has tackled subjects considered taboo by many people, including paedophilia, incest and suicide.

Contributors include Morris's writing partner David Quantick, former boss Trevor Dann and Michael Grade.
