Hello!
- 1st Question, #AskArmando @Aiannucci Are there any comedies (TV or film) you wish you had written? via @adamterry1986
@BAFTA @Aiannucci @adamterry1986 loads. Stardust Memories, Hannah and Her Sisters, Brazil. I'm basically just reciting my favourite films.- #AskArmando @Aiannucci Of all the TV shows you have worked on, which one are you most proud of? via @pippairvine
- @BAFTA @Aiannucci @pippairvine it's always the last one I did. But I'm always really happy Alan Partridge makes so many people laugh.
- #AskArmando @Aiannucci Have you ever discarded a line/ scene on the basis that not enough people would understand the joke? via @AndyGilder
- @BAFTA @AndyGilder #AskArmando I only discard if its not funny enough. Obscurity can enter into it, but bottom line is, is it funny.
- #AskArmando @Aiannucci If you could be a character in any of your shows (assuming they are real), which would it be & why? via @ianjburns
- @BAFTA @ianjburns #AskArmando That would cause all sorts of mental problems. I'd happily sit in the background at a desk in DoSAC
- Last Q: #AskArmando @Aiannucci You write & produce constantly. What's the best time to write, do you lock yourself away? via @Iadyiveagh
- @BAFTA @Iadyiveagh #AskArmando I'm best in the morning. In the afternoons I cheat by hooking up with other funny people to team-write.
- Brilliant! Thanks so much to @Aiannucci for answering those #AskArmando questions. Watch the #BAFTATVLecture here: guru.bafta.org/armando-iannuc…
