Armando Iannucci

First broadcast from 19930327 to 19940404. (* = BBC7).

Anarchic humour, music and strange remixes.

• A lot of trivia about this show, and it's mainly down to when it was broadcast.
• The programmes in series one were half-hour shows, series two were an hour.
• Series two has five episodes - four regular ones and a compilation - depending on who makes the list the compilation sometimes appears as episode 5, with no indication of the content.
• I don't know if the compilation episode is from series one, or two, or both, or how much of it is new material.
• Its claimed some of the BBC7 broadcasts have been edited, removing Radio 1 jingles, time-checks, etc, though this is probably only the second series as that would include a newsbreak.
• I've seen series one listed as having three episodes, but during the broadcast of episode two Armando says it's the last.
• The compilation is also listed as being repeated the following week.
• BBC7 have confused the issue by broadcasting both of series one in an hour-long slot.
• In S2E1 Armando comments about picking Doop for the signature tune months earlier to show he'd got all nine fingers on the musical pulse, and learning yesterday that it went in the charts at number three; that was 19940306, and it made number one by the 20th.
• The second track on S2E1 is Mr Self Destruct by and I've got that as my ring-tome - I get a lot of strange looks when receiving a call.
