The British Comedy Guide tells us of a return to our screens of Alan Yentob, with 'imagine... The Academy of Armando', looking at the work of Armando Iannucci.
Apparently in gestation since 2018, there'll be BBC archive footage, film of Iannucci at work on the set of his HBO comedy Avenue 5, and at the screening of The Death Of Stalin at the Sundance Film Festival. It will also discuss Iannucci's epic poem turned play Pandemonium, described as "a scornful account of the activities of Mr Boris Johnson and 'others' during the pandemic and its aftermath".
Yentob and Iannucci were previously on screen together in the 2006 "imagine....A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Studio" in which Alan asked "Is the British sitcom really dead ?"
