Rob's guest this week is the satirist, writer, television director and radio producer, Armando Iannucci. Described by The Daily Telegraph as "the hardman of political satire" and by The Observer as one of the 50 Funniest Acts in British Comedy, he rose quickly through the 成人快手 with On the Hour and the television series, The Day Today. One of his and Steve Coogan?s most famous creations from that series, Alan Partridge, went on to feature in a number of Armando?s television and radio programmes including Knowing Me, Knowing You and I'm Alan Partridge.
As well as writing and producing, he has also fronted the satirical Armistice review shows and The Armando Iannucci Shows, for Channel 4. Moving back to the 成人快手 in 2005, he created the political sitcom The Thick of It, the spoof documentary Time Trumpet and the radio series, Charm Offensive. He has written an operetta libretto, Skin Deep, for Opera North, and his latest television project is the HBO political satire, Veep. Armando received an OBE in 2012 for services to broadcasting.
