The Saturday Night Armistice (later The Friday Night Armistice, plus the one-off The Election Night Armistice) is a British satirical television comedy programme presented by Armando Iannucci with Peter Baynham and David Schneider that ran from 1995 to 1999.[1][2]
The programme took an irreverent and often surreal look back at topical events, and featured studio discussions, sketches and setups. Like many 1990s British comedy series it included appearances and writing contributions by a large number of UK comedians including amongst others Arthur Mathews, Graham Linehan, Simon Pegg, Andy Riley, Kevin Cecil, Kevin Eldon, Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith, Danny Erskine, Omid Djalili, Al Murray, Ben Moor, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.
