He gained a reputation for incisive and witty observations on popular culture and music. Alongside rock journalism he was also submitting gags and sketches to British comedy shows such as Spitting Image.In 1992 Armando Iannucci asked him to join the writing team for the radio comedy On The Hour after which he made the natural progression to the television follow up The Day Today (1994).Quantick rejoined the Chris Morris/Armando Ianucci axis to write for Brass Eye with Jane Bussmann in 1997. The show caused huge controversy as Morris often does, and though Quantick's association with him on Jam (2000) was less explosive, the Brass Eye Paedophile Special was so controversial that Government ministers initially condemned the program (without having seen it).With Jane Bussmann, he created the world's first online sitcom pilot - The Junkies, 1999 - and returned to working with Armando Iannucci on the final series of The Thick Of It and Veep.He continues to write for television in the USA and the UK.
