This series was so formative to my sense of humour. Was 14 when it came out and have vivid memories of watching it. Armando Ianucci, The Fast Show, League of Gentlemen and Big Train, what an education.

@arknell this is the sound of a native Italian speaker speaking with a London accent. Don't know about the actor, but that's certainly the role he's playing - the name Luca is a clue. If you ever hear the jockey Frankie Dettori talking, he speaks like this too.
