2004 - The Stupid Version
An uneven but generally entertaining end-of-year report on 2004, filtered through the satirical gaze of Armando Iannucci and his team. Some of the material hit home - particularly the news footage of US politicians, re-edited to create a montage of scare-mongering catchphrases - and the whole concoction was a refreshing antidote to the standard one-dimensional retrospectives clogging the schedules every December.
Clinton - His Struggle with Dirt
A mockumentary taking a comic-look at how the Lewinsky scandal is perceived in the year 2028.
