Avenue 5

So you've said numerous times, writing a mockumentary, easiest way to write because you've got that freedom of playing things about.

How was it to then write for an episode of Avenue 5? Because again, this intricate show, it's Armando Iannucci.

That's literally writing royalty there.

So...

Since then, Himesh has quietly carved out one of the most enviable careers in the acting world.

Landing parts in Christopher Nolan's gloriously baffling time mangler Tenet, Armando Iannucci's sci-fi sitcom Avenue 5, Adam McKay's climate crisis denial satire Don't Look Up, and Charlie Brooker's genre-blending Black Mirror.

Himesh also plays Dr Watson in the Enola Holmes films.

He is the lead on HBO's superhero-based movie industry comedy franchise, and his part in the 2020 post-apocalyptic saga Station Eleven earned him an Emmy nomination for Best Lead Actor.

He was

also on Avenue 5.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

The comedian on Avenue 5, the TV series, yeah.

He's very good.

I honestly can't remember who he is.

Have you ever seen

Avenue 5 on HBO?

No.

So it's a set in the future.

Yeah.

Um, maybe you would've gone to direct an episode of Avenue 5, if that hung on longer.

Um, so y- House's story is he is trapped with a guy who was rejected from House.

He applied to get House'd, and he still ended up in Princeton-Plainsboro, but he was rejected.
