A SketchShow which ran on ChannelFour in 2001; [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as the name suggests]], it was presented, written, directed and produced by Creator/ArmandoIannucci. Each episode took a loose theme (communication, work, aging) but the main theme that ran throughout was Armando's attempts to understand the modern world. There were a number of recurring characters throughout the show, including a group of self-congratulatory TV executives and Armando's only friend, an incredibly old man called Hugh.
