By many people's reckoning, Armando lannucci is one of our greatest and funniest TV satirists. The political classes and the grammar and conceits of television have proved fertile ground for Iannucci's wit and his team of gifted collaborators, notably Steve Coogan, Rebecca Front and Chris Morris. Iannucci's remorseless, and occasionally scabarous, humour has sustained a wide-ranging and lengthy career across radio, TV and film. He learned his craft as a radio producer back in the late 1980s. Since then, he's worked as a writer, performer and director, principally for the BBC, but also for Channel 4 and, latterly, for HBO.
