I've always enjoyed all of Armando's previous projects, so I'm giving this one the benefit of the doubt until I actually see it. Shows shouldn't be judged on pilots anyway - the pilot for "The Day Today" was reputedly unsatisfactory, and the one for "Doctor Who" is genuinely awful. Fluffed dialogue, cliched lines, automatic doors refusing to close...

I did hear that Armando's series was due late September/early October - anyone know any more?

Any news on the format? i'm guessing news-related...?

Apparently, Iannucci recently told someone who knows someone etc etc that it'll be "news-based, but not as obviously so". Whatever that means.

Well, the Corpses' source doesn't think much of it, apparently (see article).

Yeah, but like I said, that _was_ only the pilot...

What flippin' article?
