Irony, the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect. In this Documentary presenter Richard Herriott investigates the issue of Irony, from DJs to Architects to discuss the attitudes and responses towards Irony.

Richard wonders why has the world become so Ironic now? from those who say one thing but hold another view. Although Irony, is used each day by thousands of people across the world, it's also influenced our music, art, buildings and our life.
