Tony
Roche
He is a key member of the team responsible for the multi-award winning comedy The Thick of It and its spin-off feature film, In The Loop which was released in the UK and US in 2009 and nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars. He also coined the word Omnishambles which later entered the Oxford English Dictionary and is now in constant use.
He was executive producer and writer on four series of Armando Iannucci's multi award-winning HBO comedy series, Veep starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Tony won an Emmy for writing the Election Night episode of series 4 as well as an Emmy as an exec producer when Veep won Best Comedy Series. He co-developed, EP’s and writes on Avenue Five, a space comedy, now in series 2 for HBO.
Tony's original screenplay Holy Flying Circus was produced by Hillbilly Television and directed by Owen Harris. It was broadcast on BBC4 in Autumn 2012. Starring Darren Boyd, Charles Edwards and Steve Punt, the film recounted (in Pythonesque fashion) the controversy surrounding Life of Brian, was acclaimed by critics and was nominated for a Best Single Drama Bafta Award.
Tony is a Liverpool fan and when working abroad insists on watching every episode of Match of the Day in order even when he knows the outcome.
