Andy Hamilton and Jay Tarses' script for
Revolting People, about the American War of Independence, winningly mixes the "boom boom" school of jokes, literary silliness (jeopardy means "like a jeopard"), and anachronisms that make deft political points. Hamilton and Tarses, who has written for the
Muppets and the
Bob Newhart Show, appear alongside Jan Ravens (
Deadringers) and James Fleet in this unmissable series, with appearances from Hugh Dennis and Michael Fenton Stevens (
TWOS).
