Armando Iannucci's You Had To Be There |...

OTB Sports
About this episode

We had a very special guest on this week's edition of You Had To Be There on Off The Ball Breakfast.

The co-creator of Alan Partridge and the man behind television shows like The Thick Of It and Veep, it was our great privilege to have the remarkable Armando Iannucci join us in studio to reflect on his relationship with sport and much, much more besides.

Armando joined Ger Gilroy and Colm Boohig in the OTB studio to mark the arrival of his stage adaptation of the Stanley Kubrick classic, 'Dr. Strangelove'.

There will be plenty of discussion about the play throughout this chat - not to mention the pivotal role Steve Coogan will be playing within in - but the show is going to run from the 5th to the 22nd of February at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre and tickets are available to purchase now!

Don't forget you can tune into Off The Ball Breakfast every weekday morning from 7.30AM.
