Hey,

Luis Enrique is quite correct, definitely an Armando Iannucci spoof.

Poor cousin Paul!

Absolutely love it. Love the tie huts and bunny farmer. I sense a paradigm shift that is not being captured by mainstream media.

I think its a brilliant piece of satire!

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this, Clare

Chris, you are right, this is a big mystery! Is this a spoof, or what? could you crowd-source it on Twitter? Let us know if you find out!

I particularly enjoyed seeing Nigel Havers serving risotto.

So many British cultural references, so little time…

Obviously a mockery of some sort? Right?????

It is Ianucci, I think from the third episode of his 2001 show for Channel 4.

I could be wrong, but that looks rather like Armando Iannucci in the first second, so perhaps he's behind it, the subversive scamp.
