Anyone else like Time Trumpet, i find it very funny. I like the idea of what celebrities are gonna do and be like in the future Ann Robinson, David Beckam, June Sarpong
It's very hit and miss - I don't really think the talking heads bits work (although I agree Sarpong is quite good) - but some sequences have been great.
Pretty disappointing effort from Iannucci. His latest series on R4 was still up to par, so its not like he's lost it generally, but too much of this is just unfunny filler. I like the celebs played by actors - Beckham, Jamie Oliver - Anne Robinson is especially good. But why are his comedy mates on the show not aged up as well? Adam Buxton looks no older than his real age, and Richard Ayoade seems to age only about 5 years over the next 25 years.
I suppose I'm being a bit harsh, becouse, like the I.T. crowd, I expect far better from those involved.
I liked it, it was far less consistent than The Day Today, for example. It was also pretty disjointed, but there were some great moments. The guy playing Tom Cruise was great, and I still chuckle thinking about 'Ross Kemp on Fire'.
I liked it! it was funny,and Iespecially liked the 'people who do what their names imply', which started off a bit weird but then was really funny! like Pierre - "well, that was just pissing in the wind, really."...
