Not all of the infamous TV show Brass Eye made it to the screen. Paul Tanter looks into a movie that’s plugging some of the gaps...

It sounds like a pub quiz question: ‘Which never-repeated ’90s series ran for only seven episodes on Channel 4, duped a phalanx of fame-hungry D-list celebrities to earnestly making fools of themselves, had its broadcast delayed while the chief executive made cuts to segments including a Yorkshire Ripper musical, and still enjoys a cult following today?’

The answer, of course, is Chris Morris’s Brass Eye, the satirical current affairs programme which aired in January 1997 to outrage and a litany of complaints, mostly from gullible public figures who’d been fooled into campaigning on behalf of literally unbelievable causes such as a drug called Cake, the scourge of Heavy Electricity, and an elephant with its trunk stuck in its anus. “Come on… Help us get that trunk out,” solemnly pleaded magician Paul Daniels.

The effect was instant and nationwide. Hoodwinked celebs called their lawyers in desperate attempts to get their contributions pulled, including Noel Edmonds informing us that Cake stimulates a part of the brain called ‘Shatner’s Bassoon’ and Bernard Manning insisting it makes users cry all the water out of their bodies. The hoax even extended to Parliament, where MP David Amess raised a question about the frightening new drug. Over 100 bewildered viewers rang in to complain when an episode seemingly cut to a convincing Channel 4 News report informing them that Edmonds had decapitated chat show host Clive Anderson and was currently fending police off with a rocket launcher.

<p><em>This article first appeared in Film Stories issue 33.</em></p>



<p>It sounds like a pub quiz question: ‘Which never-repeated ’90s series ran for only seven episodes on Channel 4, duped a phalanx of fame-hungry D-list celebrities to earnestly making fools of themselves, had its broadcast delayed while the chief executive made cuts to segments including a Yorkshire Ripper musical, and still enjoys a cult following today?’ </p>



<p>The answer, of course, is Chris Morris’s <em><a href="https://www.channel4.com/programmes/brass-eye">Brass Eye</a></em>, the satirical current affairs programme which aired in January 1997 to outrage and a litany of complaints, mostly from gullible public figures who’d been fooled into campaigning on behalf of literally unbelievable causes such as a drug called Cake, the scourge of Heavy Electricity, and an elephant with its trunk stuck in its anus. “Come on… Help us get that trunk out,” solemnly pleaded magician Paul Daniels.</p>



<p>The effect was instant and nationwide. Hoodwinked celebs called their lawyers in desperate attempts to get their contributions pulled, including Noel Edmonds informing us that Cake stimulates a part of the brain called ‘Shatner’s Bassoon’ and Bernard Manning insisting it makes users cry all the water out of their bodies. The hoax even extended to Parliament, where MP David Amess raised a question about the frightening new drug. Over 100 bewildered viewers rang in to complain when an episode seemingly cut to a convincing Channel 4 News report informing them that Edmonds had decapitated chat show host Clive Anderson and was currently fending police off with a rocket launcher.</p>



<span id="more-100681"></span>



<p>Originally conceived as a spin-off from BBC2’s spoof news show <em>The Day Today</em>, <em>Brass Eye</em> was a bubbling melting pot of darkly comedic ideas that was turned down by the Beeb “less than two minutes into viewing the pilot.”</p>



<p>Unperturbed, Morris took the idea to Channel 4 and built on his previous work, with a searing satire of the trajectory of TV news, complete with OTT graphics, workplace documentaries, idiotic general public vox pops, and pompous celebrities willing to say anything to get on television. The series was followed four years later by a hugely controversial ‘Paedogeddon!’ special and a DVD release that reinstated some, but not all, of the original cuts. It’s currently available on All 4, but has never been re-broadcast</p>



<p>In 2017, to mark Brass Eye’s 20th anniversary, series director Michael Cumming released a film of un-broadcast material from the show, a mixture of extended and deleted scenes, abandoned ideas, alternative takes, out-takes, and commentary from Cumming himself. To celebrate the series’ recent 25th birthday, Cumming embarked on a fresh tour of quietly sold-out screenings around the country, enabling fans of the show to peek behind the curtain at the creative process and glimpse material not included in the original cut due to time or legal restrictions.</p>



<p>While <em>Brass Eye</em> broadcast on the small screen to skewer the very conventions of the medium of television itself, <em>Oxide Ghosts: The Brass Eye Tapes</em> juxtaposes this by eschewing download and streaming platforms, only ever being available to view in cinemas bookended by an introduction and Q&amp;A with the director himself. In a world where we hunch down with eyes glued to our phones, the screening and subsequent conversation is a deliberately communal experience. </p>



<p><em>Brass Eye</em> was chock-full of ideas that overloaded the viewer and rewarded repeat viewing. <em>Oxide Ghosts</em> is no different, at times bombarding the audience with previously unseen footage accompanied by a voiceover describing the filmmaking process while swathes of unused scripts appear on screen. The result is a welcome cacophony of brand-new material that can only be experienced in the present, resulting in the viewer trying to absorb as much as possible but inevitably missing bits. Cumming knows the audience can’t pause and rewind, so delights in merging his TV tricks with the live screening setting.</p>



<p>Pre-<em>Brass Eye</em>, he was a jobbing TV director who’d filmed inserts for <em>The Word</em> and was making ends meet directing corporate videos for <em>British Gas</em> when he met Chris Morris.</p>



<p>“He managed to get a massive budget from television, to make a programme to go on television, to criticise television. That fascinated me,” says Cumming, who was new to directing comedy and now faced the challenge of balancing outlandishly comedic ideas against making them believable enough that the celebrities they approached would be convinced they were genuine.</p>



<p>“I could think of how you could shoot a dramatic sequence of a cow being fired from a cannon, but how do you shoot that sequence and make it absolutely believable so we could play it to a politician or celebrity, and they believe it? It was a great challenge to take these ridiculous ideas and make them so believable that people would be appalled and shocked.”</p>



<p>Clearly, they succeeded – at least enough to snare public figures desperate to boost their profiles.</p>



<p>“We sent out lots of ridiculous, stupidly worded press releases, with graphics of things like a monkey blowing its brains out with a revolver,” recalls Cumming. “These people read them and decided to call us back. We had a hit list but really, they selected themselves. Getting on telly was a be-all end-all for some people. We wanted to know what lengths will they go to? What stupidity will they spout just to get on the TV?”</p>



<p>In addition to the likes of Bruno Brookes, Vanessa Feltz, and Steven Berkoff parroting whatever was put in front of them, Morris reeled in celebs for studio interviews on topics that he steered into the absurd, asking Babylon Zoo’s Jas Mann if he’d ever ‘written a spherical song?’ Claire Rayner was asked ‘If I attacked you, would you beat me off?’, while gangster ‘Mad’ Frankie Fraser was presented with a ‘Madometer’ ranging from ‘Low Miff’ to ‘Mad as a Lorry’.</p>



<p>When the first episode aired and word got around, many contributors realised they had been duped and unsuccessfully tried to get their segments pulled. Despite not signing release forms, Channel 4 lawyers used legal loopholes to keep the content in. Noel Edmonds, king of Gotchas, had himself been fooled.</p>



<p>“Although Claire Rayner had a very good lawyer and put the frighteners on a little. We did make some cuts to her contribution, but she still was in the show quite a bit,” says Cumming.</p>



<p>With the Channel 4 lawyers “encouraging us with ways that we could circumnavigate certain broadcasting regulations,” the show caught the attention of the station’s boss Michael Grade, who pulled the transmission until it was edited to his satisfaction. This famously resulted in Morris adding a single subliminal frame to an episode stating “GRADE IS A C***” as a riposte. </p>



<p>One person did succeed in getting their involvement removed completely. Reggie Kray sent an ‘associate’ to the production office after Morris duped him over the phone into supporting a bogus charity. His contribution was dropped and can be heard for the first time in <em>Oxide Ghosts</em>.</p>



<p>What’s clear is that the footage broadcast in 1997 is just the tip of a phenomenally brilliant iceberg of material. <em>Oxide Ghosts </em>is a worthy tribute to <em>Brass Eye</em>, with deleted snippets of interviews such as Morris pitching pornographer David Sullivan increasingly ludicrous scenarios while Sullivan defines what is and isn’t pornographic, unintentionally delivering an end line that brings the house down.</p>



<p>There’s a greatly extended version of the &#8216;Drugs&#8217; segment of Morris approaching real drug dealers on a South London street wearing an orange space hopper on his head and asking for fictional drugs such as ‘Clarky Cat’ and ‘Triple Sod’ as the dealers do their best to avoid him. Cumming’s voiceover reveals that Morris was wearing an improvised stab vest under his shirt in the form of a copy of Vogue magazine.</p>



<p>Plans were made for him to return the next week in a horse-drawn carriage dressed as a romantic poet looking to score a tincture of opium, but they never come to fruition. There’s a ‘Lady Parliament’ piece where Morris patronises women and sets them arguing with each other before breaking off “for the more considered thoughts of a man.”</p>



<p>The source material for the film is a box of 70 tapes that Cumming kept in storage for 20 years before retrieving and digitising them. I wonder what’s still in the box that didn’t make the cut here?</p>



<p>He recalls a day’s filming in Brighton with boxer Chris Eubank. Eubank originally insisted on meeting on the beach, then switched at the last minute to a hotel. He arrived late and continually disappeared to make phone calls, causing the crew to worry he’d rumbled them. They pressed on and the interview started. Cumming picks up the story:</p>



<p>“Chris [Morris] had this brilliant prop made, a swatch of different materials. And partway through the interview, he whips it out in front of Chris Eubank and says ‘Let’s talk about the fabric of society. What do you think it is? This rough sort of hessian or maybe this parachute material?’ ”</p>



<p>There are out-takes of Morris corpsing, humanising the famously private performer. He gets his own Blue Peter moment with an elephant urinating unexpectedly next to him in the studio, and later breaks into fits of giggles during one of the series’ darkest lines. There are insights into the writing process, revealing that obscure footage was hunted by researchers to match with jokes, rather than the jokes shaped around the footage.</p>



<p>The final question of the night asks the director what the legacy of <em>Brass Eye</em> is. He singles out its uniqueness.</p>



<p>“Lots of people have been influenced by it, but I like the fact that nobody else is trying to do a show like it. Maybe it’s because Chris is so unique. Channel 4 haven’t repeated it, but then I don’t want it going out every night on Gold with <em>Mrs Brown’s Boys</em>. It didn’t have massive viewing figures, but I like small amounts of obsessive people who really like something. And I think it falls into that category.”</p>
