Looks quite spesh - from Armando Ianucci the co-writer of Day Today, Brasseye, and presumably the amusing co-writer of I'm Alan Partridge seeing as how Saxondale's fookin gash

Terrorism awards particularly amusing

Can't get this. Shame.
A couple of my friends are working with Armando Ianucci

I read about it earlier today, sounds good..

I find Ianucci a bit hit and miss sometimes..In The Thick of It was absolutely superb though..best brit comedy since the Office.

Armando Iannucci's a bit of a hero of mine, but Time Trumpet looks gash. He was doing all that audio/video cut up stuff years ago, and much better

remove the phrase 'a bit of' and you've got my view on iannucci. the thick of it was unfiltered genius. friday night armistice incredible, not to mention all the work he's done on partridge, the day today, radio, etc

still waiting to see about time trumpet - some of the stuff he does is off track def.

do you remember his programme called gash? it tanked after one week. too much dominic holland

Iannucci's an absolute genius, check out his ''Armando Iannucci Shows'' if you can. Also download ''down your ear'' his radio series...

I'm taping this, will definitely be good.

the most underrated comedy series of the 90s - got no press, no repeats, hardly any advertising, but it's off the heezy i swear. there's been a campaign over at the chris morris forum cook'd and bomb'd to get a dvd release, but i think it'll only happen after a thick of it dvd release.

you can get a few bits off the series on you tube - GO CHECK!

Amazing show, and yes, it's finally getting a DVD release! I think my homemade poor-quality DVD has worn out. Basically, everyone who has even a passing interest in comedy should own a copy.

But then again in comparison to 95% of comedy in the last few years it hit it's mark most of the time. The Cameron/Blair thing at the end was just too spot on.

got to love the incredible editing and after effects jobbies

I think it all looked pretty lazy to me, considering the technology now. Not The Nine O' Clock News was 25 years ago and the cut ups and editing still look good!

Thought it was almost invariably brilliant. Only lazy thing I thought was when Gordan Brown's speech was messed about with- that's been done to death now.

incidentally i think the whole 'cut-ups' of speeches thing is pretty lame. it's iannucci's achilles heel, he keeps doing it even though it's never that funny. this is far better, far more imaginative: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJF5kuadIX4

Really want to see that amazing synchronized swimming scene with corpses again - that was amazing. And the east end thug - "you're a fuckin washin machine - now fuckin wash!!!" - genius
