Episode 261 - House Daddy Was A Mean Creamer (ft. Juliet Jacques)

Frequent RP guest Juliet Jacques returns to the show to expand on her 2020 Red Pepper article 'How Corbyn unmasked comedy' (https://www.redpepper.org.uk/how-corbyn-unmasked-comedy/) in a discussion of the generation of British comedians and satirists who emerged in the 1990s from under the wing of two titans, Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci, following their mock news show On The Hour's successful transition from radio to television as The Day Today. We look at their many shows and films, the political milieu they came out of, their key collaborators, and ask when - or if - it all went wrong for these anti-establishment firebrands.
