Peep Show, Fresh Meat, The Thick Of It, Succession... Jesse Armstrong is the writer behind some of the most iconic television in history.  In conversation with Guardian journalist Marina Hyde, he reflects on his career so far and the current state of the TV industry on both sides of the Atlantic. As well as taking us behind the scenes on the creation of Succession, Jesse and Marina discuss writers' rooms, Britishness in comedy writing and how much of Peep Show came from his and Sam Bain’s actual lives.
