Career
From 1991 to 1992, Morris worked as the anchor for BBC Radio 4 news programme On the Hour.

In 1994, Morris, and much of his team, moved to television, where they presented The Day Today on BBC2.

In 1997, Morris fronted Channel 4's issue-tackling Brass Eye, and returned in 2001 to dish the dirt on paedophilia.

The The Day Today team reunited in 2004, with Morris and former sports presenter Alan Partridge discussing the circumstances of the deaths of Princess Diana and President John F. Kennedy. Conclusions were not reached.

Personal life
Throughout his career, Morris enjoyed a heroin habit and an affection for travel correspondent Valerie Sinatra. In 1994 he expressed hatred for Sebastian Coe, though Coe would later contribute to a Brass Eye report.

At the time of the Brass Eye paedophile special, Morris was father to a six-year-old son. Controversially, paedophile campaigner Gerard Chote was not attracted to the boy.
