Ianucci actually arrives only five minutes late, wearing a domesticated outfit of cords, brown shoes, comfy shirt and sleeveless pullover, having phoned ahead to apologise.
Ianucci is still relatively anonymous, much more so than workmates Steve Coogan, who has a reputation as a flashy millionaire egotist, or Chris Morris, whose ferocious anti-media lampoonery has seen him hailed as “God” by Will Self and denounced as “Satan” by The Daily Express.
Probably not known outside the UK this cretin has a sketch show running late at night on Channel 4.
There is NOTHING funny about spousal abuse.I know women who've been beaten up by their partners and I remember as a child seeing my mother throwing scalding cups of tea over my father.
The British government is only now beginning to tackle this curse upon society and a moron like Ianucci can only hinder progress.
yes, the return of armando iannucci is a good thing.
Damn digital stealing all the good shows again, as Armando and Chris Langham have been a bit quiet recently.
Langham playing George Orwell was one of the most beautiful and human performances any human can do and made you want to cull all the evil people in the world.
And then it occurred to me. I had heard a programme like this before.
The chairman, ArmandoIanucci, picks items from the week's news and asks his fellow comedians " Clive Anderson, Jeremy Hardy, people like that " to make jokes about them.
Been going quite a lot longer than ArmandoIanucci's programme, too.
