    I think we have to hand it to the Americans their satirical animation has become their greatest export, as a cultural contribution its value is inestimable, we have nothing to match it here. Britain has rested on its satirical laurels (in all mediums), for far too long..we were funny once..but surely that is reason enough for satire itself..there have been a number of notable exceptions but generally the zeitgeist has been one of smug complacency...such is not an edifying thing to witness..
