  • With the release of In The Loop, Armando Iannucci's film spin-off of The Thick of It, Mark Kermode watched the film with Alastair Campbell - the reputed inspiration for Peter Capaldi's sweary Machiavellian spin doctor who attempts to control the narrative within his omnishambles of a department.
    What did Campbell think of this fictional reflection?
    Clip taken from The Culture Show, originally broadcast on BBC Two, Tuesday 24 March, 2009.

    Imagine watching in the loop and your favourite scenes being the ones with Toby and his relationship 😂😂 it's like watching pulp fiction for the Fabienne scenes

    He's right though, In The Loop is a lot less funny than Thick Of It. They went too hard on the screaming and shouting, it comes across more psychotic than anything.

    The question at 3:50 gets an answer that is worth listening to and may have been proven correct in the decades since. If a bit defensive with the people like you remarks.

      It's a fantastically thorough answer as well, I think Campbell very insightfully and succinctly dismantled Mark's smarmy and simplistic line of questioning here. Campbell is clearly an often humourless and quite vexed individual, but there's no denying his absolute sincerity, I think.

      I don’t think Mark and ‘people like him’ contributed to a million dead ppl in an illegal foreign war. Campbell is beyond defensive, like the slimiest of (unlike him, elected) politicians.

      Enormous misrepresentation of history to say men like Campbell in his type of politics have delivered most of the best things to the world. Almost every right, from those of workers and employees to those of racial and sexual minorities and the homeless have come from community organisation forcing the hands of bureaucrats and politicians. Perhaps the only example is the NHS, which I haven't studied enough to say it wasn't a product of popular pressure

      @dhartmannahmed4980 not sure who was representing history. Perhaps be a bit more specific.
      All the things you mention. All of them. All were introduced under a Labour govt.
      All conservative govt ignored the pressure and denied basic human rights.
      So men like Campbell are the ones who listened and changed things. Or they just thought it was the right thing to do in the first place.

    Fantastic stuff. There's a comment on another post of this Interview about how this is a very important debate on the issue of satire and sincerity and how neither man is wrong. I think about it a lot. what a fascinating video.

    2009? The footage looks like 1993, then again how can 2009 even be 15 years ago? I remember it very clearly and nothing has changed. I am still wearing the same coat lol.
