We always knew that Richard Ayoade was up to something. Someone who hadn’t been paying attention for the last ten years might be understandably confused that Moss off The IT Crowd is suddenly trying to pass himself off as a director of sombre art films.

Anyone requiring proof that he’s now the real deal as a filmmaker need look no further.
