'Dr Strangelove' _is_ one of the greatest dark comedy films of all times. I can't think of anyone better than Armando adapting it. Almost unimaginable in the 1990s, but extremely relevant again.
Best Wishes, Mr Iannucci, and Mr Tubridy. ☮

Armando Iannucci has a stupid name (no offence) and he's also genius of comedy. He reminds me of Chris Morris. Heavy weights of the genre.

That might be because they work together a lot.

Chicken and chess you say? Sounds like an ill judged KFC marketing campaign to be honest.
