BAFTA award-winning Armando Iannucci confronts the world head on in this surreal comedy sketch series from 2001. Each of the eight programmes focus on a specific theme, like modern culture, morality, work life, and social awkwardness, around which Iannucci weaves a series of sketches and monologues. Recurring characters include the East End thug, who uses violence to solve problems, and old man Hugh, who talks about the good ol' days.
