Haven't seen any of the progs cos I'm not in the UK, but I've just had a quick look at the TT site. Some nice cartoony images in there, typical Ianucci stuff which I really enjoy listening to... is that what the telly show is made up of, though? Just Ianucci prompting and bods talking?

I loved the item, where on January 21 2013, Tesco's declares war on Denmark, & wins 5 hours later.... 
The CGI Tesco "Fighting Machines/Walkers" were frighteningly realistic & as for the Value flatpack supermarket, well....

I think it's been steadily worse after the excellent opening show, but lasts night's stopped the rot.
Worth watching just to see Guantanamo bay still there after 30 years and turned into a city...
Enjoyed the jumbo jet taking the top off the houses of parliament too....

i know i mentioned it in the thread i started (as i didnt see this one) but im gonna say it again, i think that every one of the shows should finish with the songs like CHanges with Tony Blair and David Cameron in the first show and then Bush and Rice in last nights, i think its great

All written by Ianucci.
Granted it's more of the same, but I'm not finding it tired just yet.

It's a similar style of humour, but he's hardly repeating himself. The jokes are new, the CGI is even more sophisticated and most of it is inspired by recent events that have happened since Brass Eye finished.

Here it is:
Always find Ianucci a bit hit and miss tbh. 'The Thick of It' was brilliant but 'Time Trumpet' just seems a bit over the top.

Tonight's was the best one yet. Noel Edmonds was tremendous. ''Boomtown twat!''.

This episode is the last you say, that kinda sucks, I definately thought this was one of the best episodes.

I think Time Trumpet is a brilliantly creative and fresh idea ...but I just don't think it has produced enough strong material to fill out a full series. Some of it has been sublime but too much of it has been very ordinary.
Maybe it needed more time and/or more writers. Or maybe it could have been a 1 hour special instead of a series.
