And yes! Bremner Bird and Fortune (TV)- very intelligent.
www.channel4.com

You can watch clip there.

They have a book too 'We are here'. Don't know how that is though.


(Does anybody know if i can get Bremner Bird on DVD)?

I am sure you have read Don Juan- both romantic and anti romantic, it's one of the best.

Also check out
Thomas Moore's The Fudges in England . Shelley is also quite satirical i believe.

I once read this interesting piece on Nursery Rhymes being political satires of their times. Don't know where it was. Must be some academic journal.

Yes afaq. Orwell is good. Group politics with a lot of irony.
Begsy yes, i checked that out after FON mentioned it and it seems to be the kind i am looking for.

FON! what part do you want? The heroine in white sari drenched in rain? or The one smashing and kicking the villians with a tattoe on her shoulder (angelina jolie kind)?

:D

ufff yar, satire is:

A manner of writing that mixes a critical attitude with wit and humor in an effort to improve mankind and human institutions. Ridicule, irony, exaggeration, and several other techniques are almost always present. The satirist may insert serious statements of value or desired behavior, but most often he relies on an implicit moral code, understood by his audience.... ok thats bit over the top, but hope u got the point ;)
