2004: The Stupid Version

This strange little curio from what feels like a trillion years ago in the mid noughties acts a semi-template for Armando's Time Trumpet. Essentially a parade of sarcastic talking heads and strangely edited dark skits based on contemporary telly. The highlight has to be Armando coaxing a bunch of minor celebrities into a portacabin for an afternoon just to intentionally not film them which still feels like a fresh statement about the vacuous transient nature of reality TV. There's also a very well observed parody of the Streets from an impossibly youthful looking Adam Buxton. It may be ancient but it's a fascinating little glance at a particular point in time.
