Episodes:

Ep. 1: 2004 - The Stupid Version (2004-12-31)

An uneven but generally entertaining end-of-year report on 2004, filtered through the satirical gaze of Armando Iannucci and his team. Some of the material hit home - particularly the news footage of US politicians, re-edited to create a montage of scare-mongering catchphrases - and the whole concoction was a refreshing antidote to the standard one-dimensional retrospectives clogging the schedules every December.
Ep. 2: Clinton - His Struggle with Dirt (1998-11-02)

A mockumentary taking a comic-look at how the Lewinsky scandal is perceived in the year 2028.
Ep. 3: Armando Iannucci Presents The Greatest Worst Bits of Comic Relief (2007-03-17)

Part of Red Nose Day 2007, a fundraising event organised by Comic Relief, broadcast live on BBC One and BBC Two from the evening of March 16, 2007 to early the following morning. This is a short spoof documentary exposing the "truth" behind many Comic Relief moments. Narrated by the wonderful Armando Iannucci and featuring Emma Thompson, Mark Watson, Joanna Neary, Richard Ayoade, David Sant, Andy Zaltzman, Adam Buxton, Matthew Holness, Paul Whitehouse, Rob Brydon, and more.
