Unlike the chap on The Day Today who lost the news, 6 Music didn’t misplace Chris Morris’s eagerly anticipated new radio sketch – his first for 15 years – on Mary Anne Hobbes’ show on Sunday. It’s just that it wasn’t ready yet, the presenter explained to listeners keen to hear what the man behind Radio 1’s legendary late night series Blue Jam (later Channel 4’s Jam) would come up with next. “Now I know we said last week on the show that we hoped to have some brand new material from Chris Morris to play to you this Sunday, but I’m going to have to disappoint you a bit I’m afraid,” explained the presenter. “We haven’t got a finished sketch, we’ve got a clip that’s more of a work in progress – so it’s not ready to broadcast yet. But fingers crossed for the future though because we’d absolutely love to get some new radio from Chris.” Fingers crossed? This is worse than we thought. Don’t tell us they’ve lost the sketch. You’ve lost the sketch!
