A rehash of Princess Diana's funeral by comic genius Chris Morris . Here's the Wikipedia text about it. In a 'sketch' commencing approximately thirteen minutes into the sixth episode of the first series of Blue Jam, Morris re-edited the Archbishop of Canterbury's speech at Diana, Princess of Wales's funeral to make it appear that he was making inappropriate comments regarding AIDS and the British Royal Family. The broadcast of this episode was faded into the first episode in the middle of the edited speech, which was "broadcast almost in its entirety before being faded by a transmission engineer" [1]. It is unknown who ordered this, either a BBC employee receiving complaints (before the sketch had ended?), or Chris Morris himself as a stunt. The same episode was later rebroadcast as the first episode of the second series, with "Bishopslips" omitted. In "The Nation's Favourite," a book by Simon Garfield chronicling the transformation of Radio 1 under Matthew Bannister, one sequence describes a meeting in which the difficulties surrounding the management of Chris Morris were made clear. Morris had begun deliberately leaving the delivery of the show masters as late as possible - often so late that there was not sufficient time to play through the show before broadcast to check for libel or obscenity. As a result it is likely that compliance was enforced in real-time and a manager was on-hand to order the fading down of the Bishopslips sketch without any complaints being received. However this contradicts claims that Bishopslips was included as a deliberate compromise by Morris, who submitted a wildly libellous and offensive sketch called "Christ's Cock and Balls" in which a doctor prescribes Christ's genitalia to a patient suffering from a minor ailment after discovering them shat out by the Archbishop of Canterbury. This latter sketch was made available by Warp Records [2] but is no longer present on their site.

I never quite understood why there was such hysteria surrounding Dianas death. I was quite young at the time and remember being forced to feel sorrow for the loss. Even then i realised how full of shit the situation was and really couldnt give a fuck about her death. Do the royals encourage a nation to mourn every time someone dies...of course not, then why should the sentiment be returned.
The British public's reaction to Diana's death was by-and-large completely nauseating; the entire country descending into a tear-stained wank-rally. Reaction to Jade Goody's later corpsification (amazingly) provoked almost the same response.
The "Christ's Cock and Balls" thing makes Morris sound like some kind of modern day de Sade. It's a pity he went on to make the utter crap that was "Nathan Barley".
The day they buried that silly bitch was the worst this country has ever seen. No football, all the shops closed, and nothing on TV but a fucking funeral.
HOLY SHIT! thats soul coughing in the background! chris morris likes soul coughing? it looks like he edited so the words are gone, so he can talk over the music.
