Jesse Armstrong, né à Oswestry, est un scénariste, producteur et journaliste britannique.

Biographie

Il est le cocréateur de la série Peep Show, avec Sam Bain, diffusée sur Channel 4, et le coscénariste de la série The Thick of It. Les deux séries ont été nommés aux BAFTA Television Awards : Peep Show a remporté celui de la meilleure sitcom en 2008, et The Thick of It en 2010.

Il a également coécrit le scénario du film In the Loop, adapté de la série The Thick of It par Armando Iannucci en 2009, aux côtés de Iannucci, Simon Blackwell et Tony Roche. Ils ont été nommés à l'Oscar du meilleur scénario adapté en 2010, et ont remporté l'Evening Standard British Film Award du meilleur scénario.

Armstrong est également journaliste et a écrit dans The Guardian un édito quotidien qui couvrait les élections législatives britanniques de 2010. Intitulé Malcolm Tucker's election briefing, il y a réutilisé le caractère agressif et injurieux du personnage de The Thick of It et de In the Loop pour émettre une satire du processus législatif britannique.

Harry Kane and Karl Allen are best friends who work together in a successful and popular magic double act, with Harry's wife Carol working as their assistant. After one show, however, Harry discovers Karl and Carol backstage in a magic box having sex (during an agreement between Harry and the theatre owner about letting the act go on for 4 more weeks and letting them do an act on a cruise ship). During the next show, Carol is locked into a guillotine as part of a climatic trick, only for the blade to decapitate her; it is not immediately clear whether Harry, despite his protestations of innocence, has murdered her or whether she was the victim of a freak accident. Four years later, the act has broken up and the two friends – now bitter rivals – have gone their separate ways; Harry, having given up professional magic, is working in a Wilkinson hardware store, only to be fired after a customer complains when he creates an illusion of him cutting his arm severely with a knife blade during a sales pitch, whilst Karl is attempting to reinvent himself as a Derren Brown-esque magician called the Mindmonger, with limited success. During an unsuccessful impromptu-pitch at a television corporation, the only person he manages to impress is Dani, the tea girl, who Karl immediately gets a crush on much to the jealousy of his incompetent agent Otto, who nurses an unsubtle homosexual crush on him.
