Early life

edit

Iannucci was born inGlasgow.His father, also called Armando, was fromNaples,while his mother wasborn in Glasgow to an Italian family.[4]Before emigrating, Iannucci's father wrote for an anti-fascist newspaper as a teenager and joined theItalian partisansat 17.[5][6]He moved to Scotland in 1950 and ran a pizza factory inSpringburnin Glasgow.[7]

Iannucci has two brothers and a sister. His childhood home was near that of actorPeter Capaldi,who went on to playMalcolm TuckerinThe Thick of It,a TV show created by Iannucci. Although their parents knew each other well, he and Capaldi did not know each other in childhood.[7][8]In his teens, Iannucci thought seriously about becoming aRoman Catholicpriest.[9]

Iannucci was educated at St Peter's Primary School,St. Aloysius' College, Glasgow,theUniversity of Glasgow[10]andUniversity College, Oxford,where he studiedEnglish literature.[11]He was writing aDPhilthesis about 17th-century religious language, with particular reference toMilton'sParadise Lost,which he abandoned to follow a comedy career.[12]He was particularly inspired by the American comedian and filmmakerWoody Allen,later calling him his "all-time comedy hero".[13]

Career

edit

1990s

edit

After making several programmes atBBC Scotlandin the early 1990s such as theNo' The Archie McPherson Show,he moved to BBC Radio in London, making radio shows includingArmando Iannucci[14]for BBC Radio 1, which featured comedians he was to collaborate with for many years, includingDavid Schneider,Peter Baynham,Steve CooganandRebecca Front.

Iannucci first received widespread fame as the producer forOn the Houron Radio 4, which transferred to television asThe Day Today.He received critical acclaim for both his own talents as a writer and a producer, and for first bringing together such comics asChris Morris,Richard Herring,Stewart Lee,Baynham and Coogan. The members of this group went on to work on separate projects and create a new comedy "wave" pre-New Labour:Morris went on to createBrass Eye,Blue Jamand theChris Morris Music Show;Stewart Lee and Richard Herring createdFist of FunandThis Morning with Richard Not Judy.[citation needed]

Baynham was closely involved with both Morris's andLee & Herring's work. Lee would go on to co-writeJerry Springer: The Opera,and wrote early material for Coogan's characterAlan Partridge,who first appeared inOn the Hour,and has featured in multiple spin-off series. Between 1995 and 1999, Iannucci produced and hostedThe Saturday Night Armistice.[citation needed]

2000s

edit

In 2000, he created two pilot episodes for Channel 4, which becameThe Armando Iannucci Shows.This was an eight-part series for Channel 4 broadcast in 2001, written withAndy RileyandKevin Cecil.The series consisted of Iannucci pondering pseudo-philosophical and jocular ideas and fantasies in between surreal sketches. Iannucci has been quoted as saying it is the comedy series he is most proud of making. He toldMetroin April 2007: "The Armando Iannucci Show[sic] on Channel 4 came out around9/11,so it was overlooked for good reasons. People had other things on their minds. But that was the closest to me expressing my comic outlook on life. "[15]

After championingYes Ministeron theBBC'sBritain's Best Sitcom,Iannucci devised, directed and was chief writer ofThe Thick of It,a political satire-cum-farce forBBC Four.[16]It starredChris Langhamas an incompetent cabinet minister being manipulated by a cynical, foul-mouthed Press Officer, Malcolm Tucker.[17]It was first broadcast for two short series onBBC Fourin 2005, initially with a small cast focusing on a government minister, his advisers and their party'sspin-doctor.The cast was significantly expanded for two hour-long specials to coincide withChristmasandGordon Brown's appointment asPrime Ministerin 2007, which saw new characters forming the opposition party added to the cast. These characters continued when the show switched channels toBBC Twofor its third series in 2009. A fourth series about a coalition government was broadcast in 2012. In a 2012 interview, Iannucci said the fourth series of the programme would probably be its last.[18]

Based on a format he had used inClinton: His Struggle with Dirtin 1996 and2004: The Stupid Version,in mid-2006, his spoof documentary seriesTime Trumpetwas shown on BBC 2. The series looked back on past events through highly edited clips and "celebrity" interviews, looking back on the present and near-future from the year 2031. One episode, featuring fictional terrorist attacks on London and the assassination of Tony Blair, was postponed and edited in August 2006 amid theterrorism scaresin British airports at that time.Jane Thynne,writing inThe Independent,accused the BBC of lacking backbone.[19]

He created the AmericanHBOpolitical satire television seriesVeep,starringJulia Louis-Dreyfus,set in theofficeofSelina Meyer,a fictional Vice-President of the United States.[20]Veepuses a similarcinéma-véritéfilming style toThe Thick of It.Debuting in 2012, the show has aired seven seasons, winning multiple awards including seventeenPrimetime Emmy Awards.However, beginning with season five, Iannucci stepped down asshowrunnerdue to "personal reasons".[21]

In 2019, he began work on a new science fiction sitcom forHBOcalledAvenue 5,which premiered in 2020[22]He subsequently became the series executive producer and directed the pilot.[23]
