Armando Giovanni Iannucci, OBE (; born 28 November 1963) is a Scottish satirist, writer, television director and radio producer. Born in Glasgow, he studied at Oxford University and left graduate work on a PhD about John Milton to pursue a career in comedy. Rising quickly through BBC Scotland and BBC Radio 4, his early work with Chris Morris on the radio series ''On the Hour'' was transferred to television as ''The Day Today''. A character from this series, Alan Partridge, went on to feature in a number of Iannucci's television and radio programmes including ''Knowing Me, Knowing You'' and ''I'm Alan Partridge''. In the meantime, Iannucci also fronted the satirical ''Armistice'' review shows and in 2001 created his most personal work, ''The Armando Iannucci Shows'', for Channel 4. Moving back to the BBC in 2005, Iannucci created the political sitcom ''The Thick of It'' as well as the spoof documentary ''Time Trumpet'' in 2006.〔 Winning funding from the UK Film Council, he directed a critically acclaimed feature film ''In the Loop'' featuring characters from ''The Thick of It'' in 2009. As a result of these works, he has been described by ''The Daily Telegraph'' as "the hardman of political satire".〔(Armando Iannucci interview ), 23 October 2009〕 Other works during this period include an operetta libretto, ''Skin Deep'', and his radio series ''Charm Offensive''. Iannucci's latest television project is the HBO political satire ''Veep''. In March 2012 it was announced that he is working on his first novel, ''Tongue International'', described as 'a satirical fantasy about a privatised language'. == Early life == Iannucci was born in Glasgow, Scotland. His father, also called Armando, is from Naples, Italy, and his mother was born in Glasgow, to an Italian family.〔http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2012-09-08/armando-iannucci-on-the-thick-of-it-steve-coogan-and-not-living-the-american-dream〕 His father, who came to Scotland in 1950, ran a pizza factory.
