After a few years away from TV, the VEEP creator talks about about moving beyond politics with HBO's Avenue5

— and departing after its fourth season — Armando Iannucci is back with another HBO comedy, this time set in space.

Hugh's character goes in and out of his British accent depending on what's happening, why was that something you wanted to incorporate? And was that in the script or just improvised?
