As one of Britain’s notable satirists, Ian began by writing sketches for "Spitting Image" and "Harry Enfield" before moving on to screenplays. He co-wrote the BBC sitcom "My Dad’s The Prime Minister" and the film "The Wipers Times", which centres on the satirical paper created by soldiers during the First World War.
