''Time Trumpet'' is a six-episode satirical television comedy series which aired on BBC Two in 2006. The series was written by Armando Iannucci, Roger Drew and Will Smith〔(Time Trumpet official credits ) URL accessed November 2006〕 in a similar manner to Iannucci's earlier one-off programmes ''2004: The Stupid Version'' and ''Clinton: His Struggle with Dirt''. One sketch was later spun off by Irish network RTÉ into the cult TV series ''Soupy Norman'' in 2007. ==Premise== ''Time Trumpet'' is set in the year 2031 and is a retrospective documentary on the first thirty years of the 21st century. Actors and actresses played the parts of 'today's stars' thirty years on, who were interviewed as part of the show. These 'older selves' included David Beckham, Anne Robinson, David Cameron, Sebastian Coe, Charlotte Church, Ant & Dec, June Sarpong, Tony Blair, Alastair Campbell, Charles Clarke, Noel Edmonds, Chris Moyles, Gordon Brown, David Miliband, Bob Geldof, Natasha Kaplinsky, Prince Harry, Jamie Oliver and The Woman who released the Doves at the end of the Michael Jackson trial. The show also included interviews with comedians, billed in the show as "top cultural commentators slash TV pundits", speaking about the events of the past. These included Stewart Lee (also appearing as the baldheaded 'Stu Lee', the implication being that he was contractually obliged to shave his head and change his name), Richard Ayoade, Jo Enright, Matthew Holness, Adam Buxton, Mark Watson and David Sant, who was billed as 'European Footballer of the Year 2021'. The off-screen interviewer Iannucci is seen once per episode at an oblique angle; he seems to have had plastic surgery on his face, and is wearing a long blond wig. Each episode had a main theme running throughout, such as The Olympics or the War in Iraq. The main running gag was the promise of a catch up with "an increasingly odd Tom Cruise" and would feature the elderly actor making bizarre claims such as to be "pound for pound the world's strongest man". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Time Trumpet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
