It only lasted one season (and a subsequent spinoff), 13:45 Austin Stevens Adventures 22:50 Klondike 18:00 Prehistoric Predators 23:40 Gold Divers but has become a cult classic. The series also helped Ayoade, 14:40 Wild Africa Rescue 19:00 A Traveler’s Guide To The who played a hospital administrator/TV producer in the 15:05 Wild Africa Rescue Planets show, score the role for which he is most famous: Moss, the 15:30 Treehouse Masters 20:00 Big, Bigger, Biggest geeky tech wiz opposite Chris O’Dowd in Graham Linehan’s 16:30 The Magic Of The Big Blue 21:00 Animal Intervention comedy “The IT Crowd.” 17:25 Baboons With Bill Bailey While working on that show, Ayoade began collaborat- 17:50 Baboons With Bill Bailey ing with Avi Korine (brother of “Spring Breakers” director 18:20 Extreme Animals 00:00 The Soup Harmony Korine) on a semi-modernized screenplay adapta- 19:15 Too Cute! 00:30 The Spin Crowd tion of Dostoyevsky’s novella “The Double.” They put it on 20:10 Preposterous Pets 01:25 Style Star the back burner while Ayoade made his directorial debut on 02:20 THS 21:05 Wild Africa Rescue 00:20 I, Predator the critically acclaimed coming-of-age film “Submarine,” 03:15 Extreme Close-Up 21:35 Wild Africa Rescue 01:10 World’s Weirdest which helped “The Double” pick up steam, cast members 04:10 THS 02:00 World’s Deadliest Animals 22:00 Too Cute! and financing. Ayoade’s version of “The Double” is set in a 05:05 THS 02:50 Alien Crab 22:55 Preposterous Pets punishing bureaucratic nightmare world, where the gears of 06:00 THS 03:45 Cougar Vs Wolf 23:50 Animal Cops South Africa capitalism grind the sad occupants of Soviet-like utilitarian 07:50 Style Star 04:40 How Big Can It Get buildings. It was in fact shot in an old, crumbling business 05:35 World’s Deadliest Animals 08:20 E!

Eisenberg plays a sad and timid man 00:20 Doctor Who 11:10 Giuliana & Bill 09:15 Shear Madness 10:10 World’s Weirdest named Simon who one day meets a man who looks exactly 01:10 Upstairs Downstairs 12:05 E!

This version of Simon - also played by 03:55 Me & Mrs Jones 14:30 Style Star 13:50 World’s Weirdest: Funny Eisenberg - rises quickly in their company and romances 04:30 Absolutely Fabulous 15:00 Keeping Up With The Farms Simon’s crush, played by Mia Wasikowska (old Ayoade friend 05:00 Nuzzle & Scratch: Frock n Roll Kardashians 14:45 Africa’s Deadliest O’Dowd also has a role here). As you might imagine, this 05:20 The Green Balloon Club 16:00 Keeping Up With The 15:40 Animals Gone Wild causes madness on many different levels. Ayoade sat down 05:45 Poetry Pie Kardashians 16:35 Shear Madness with TheWrap last week to discuss his film and career. 05:50 Nina And The Neurons: In 17:00 The Drama Queen 17:30 Wild Case Files TheWrap: The movie is much funnier than it should be, by The Lab 18:00 E!
