I could write a list of writers and shows that we produce here in the UK that is always so ahead of its time in both technique and material it makes me proud to British too. Well done lads.
I like this sketch, I think it describes the increasing marginalisation of older people in this country. You see ads from insurance companies like LV, talking about life insurance covers for people nearing 50. 50 for christ sake, people haven't retired by then!
Its actually the youth whom atmre marginalised. The commercialosation of college and forgoimg of marriage. Amd the ceiminalisation of yputh sexuality. And the excessive age restrictions.
Middle age is scond puberty for men. Theyre easily irate and always comparing everything to their childhood days. Wlderly men are different. More calm and humble.
They have to move it forward a few years each time there's a new load of middle-aged men. They moved me in recently and it was an Ultravox tribute band. And they only did the Midge Ure years.
Yeah, The Armando Iannucci Shows. Honestly one of the best things in British comedy in the 2000s - the first one was broadcast the week after 9/11 so it kind of fell below the radar
