I don't know. His various rambling accounts on the radio, complete with various voices were funny and full of joy and would work today. I recall him on the radio telling stories of his travels with his pal Tubby Foster. He's been loaned a Rolls Royce for some bizarre reason and has repeated trouble with its strange foot operated "hand-brake", then there's an incident where he accidentally drives past the stop go man at a road works driving through the fresh tar. He spends the rest of his trip terrified of border guards and police who are in his mind searching for him after being reported by the vengeful tar and chippings gang from the road works. Somehow Morris's voice and gentle telling of this innocent tale of bungling had me crying with laughter. Another delightful tale had him bringing a lemur back to Bristol Zoo from somewhere on the continent and he has to stay overnight half way back. The lemur is crying in its cage, and very unhappy so Morris decides to let it out in the hotel room, worried that it would escape, but can't bear the mournful cries. It spend the night snuggling up to him on the pillow. He clearly had a way with animals. He had been a normal zoo keeper before becoming a radio and TV "star" (for want of a better word).
