In the Loop (22-Jan-2009)

Director: Armando Iannucci

Writers: Jesse Armstrong; Simon Blackwell; Armando Iannucci; Ian Martin; Tony Roche

Music by: Adem Ilhan; with The Elysian Quartet

Producers: Kevin Loader; Adam Tandy

Keywords: Comedy, Iraq War

Satire about the build-up to military engagement in an unnamed Middle Eastern country, as told from both American and British perspectives -- with leaks, spin, and general incompetence doing little to derail a trumped-up case for war. A product of the same minds behind The Thick of It, with much carry-over from the cast of that program.
