Does anyone watch The Thick of It

[Hungry Joe]

My better half doesn't really watch it, but when she does, the usual quip is 'oooh, isn't that the chap from Local Hero'?

He was such a lovely boy back then.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

In the Loop was briliiant and I will now be lookig out the series.

 

[Chesney Christ]

Responding to knock at his door: "Come the f*** in or f*** the f*** off."

One of my favourite lines ever. I have The Thick Of It on DVD and In The Loop (not yet watched) as well. Genius programme.

The BBC comedy series about Whitehall.

Its is quite excellent and I have just watched the spin off, the film In The Loop, which uses the same actors but puts it in a " Iraq war decision" scenario with the UK and the US.

It is very clever

The Cameo performances by Steve Coogan etc are terrific

Its on IPLAYER now

Best comedy since Alan Partridge (yes, better than The Office), but will be a struggle for that to be understood on here !

 

[Colossal Squid]

Easily the BEST programme on telly. It's a real shame what happened with Chris Langham happened as he was a great character however I think his replacement Nicola Murray does a fine job in the latest series.

There are so many wonderful lines it's difficult to get them all down however nearly all of them come from Malcolm Tucker who is easily one of the greatest comic creations of all time, made even funnier by the fact that he's actually based very closely on Alistair Campbell - a REAL person!

For some reason no matter how many times I see it Malcolm Tucker's early telephone exchange in In The Loop that ends with "fuckity bye" sends me into hysterics every time I hear it.

It's the type of genius comedy that we don't have nearly enough of in this country anymore

Note passed to assistant Jamie during meeting with blue-sky thinker Julius Nicholson: "Please could you take this note, ram it up his hairy inbox and pin it to his f***ing prostate."

Responding to "do you want to be in the loop? "In the loop? f*** off Andy Pandy I AM the loop."

 

[The Large One]

The bald bloke in the opposite camp is apparently based on David Cameron's press bod.

 

[Captain Haddock]

It's a rare work of modern comedy genius!
