Debates over material Morris was being forced to cut went on right up until each actual transmission. This episode was no exception. A last-minute spat over a sketch intended for the final episode resulted in a caption flashing up likening Channel 4 head Michael Grade to a moist area of the female anatomy. This only showed up for a few seconds and sadly was cut from the DVD version. With the tabloids baying for his blood and Channel 4 unsure whether he could be trusted in any way, Morris slipped into one of his legendary silences before the series had finished airing. He issued plans to �reboot� himself with an entirely new project. The rest is history. edit »
