Chris Morris has never been one to shy away from controversy. His series Brass Eye and The Day Today tackled issues that most comedians avoid with a 50-foot-long barge pole.

In fact, Steve Coogan’s gaffe-prone character Alan Partridge was first introduced to UK audiences in The Day Today as an inept sports presenter.

And now it would seem that Morris’ debut onto the big screen will be no exception!

Four Lions is billed as a comedy about a group of wannabe British terrorists, it’s likely to draw complaints before it’s even been aired.

The Guardian has put the first clip from Four Lions online today, with Morris telling the newspaper that he wants the movie “to do for Islamist extremists what Dad’s Army did for the Nazis – make them look scary but also ridiculous”.

His previous efforts have spawned a number of funny Tee shirts and it’s likely that this latest offering will do the same and develop a cult following among fans of Morris’ dark brand of comedy.
