Yeah, I know what you mean. Jamie feels like he's just got unhinged dynamism, whereas Malcolm is calculated & just finds the idiocy surrounding him infuriating.
@@jakefitzgerald8603 yeah that's true though I did find that was out of character for malcolm. Hes never got physical I'm any way before then and in "in the loop" he talks about how he maims people psychologically not physically
@@adamgibson7181 yes the actor actually did which makes me think Capaldi improvised that line. Capaldi said the cast was actually a wee bit disturbed by him lol
Fun fact: Paul Higgins, the actor of Jamie McDonald, actually trained as a priest until the age of 17, but gave it up when he began dating. Nice little nod in the writing there. It's a shame that scene was deleted, it's one of my favourites from Jamie.
"What the fuck is he talking about?" "He looks like he's going to shit himself! Is he going to shit himself?" "I'm going to have to phone in a bomb scare..." Ben's appearance on News Night is fabulous.

Sad that so many scenes were deleted, i liked the little chat between Jamie, Malcom, Tammi and Oli where Malcom says "Happy new year by the way" and his talk with Glenn where he is being polite.
Did anyone notice in the episode where glen was having a complete breakdown in the office he was going on about Hitler and referred to Chris Addison character as tinky wonky he is hiding behind filing cabinet stifling his laughter..🤣🤣🤣🤣 rewound that bit about 4 times..Was funny as fuck.
4:47 "I mean, she's a lovely woman, obviously she's gorgeous and you're... Obviously devoted to her again." That completely caught me off guard and got me in stitches.
2:16 How much better would it be if Orac was in The Thick of It? He'd fit right in I think. Or even better, imagine Malcolm in Blake's 7. He'd probably call Servalan a Nazi Julie Andrews or something.
Y'know I was in the process of writing a comment about Jamie when I realised I'd accidentally called him Jamie McCrimmon. No brain, that's a totally different Scotsman called Jamie McSomething who was once the sidekick of a character played by Peter Capaldi.
The writing for this is immense..Can't find any outtakes.I read they improvised during rehearsals and it was written into the script so it's scripted improv.👌
@@venator0405 *fanboy but yeah, Phil’s my favourite out of the whole show. He’s dorky, nerdy, into Harry Potter and seen as more of an outsider, man child, loser and I really relate to him
“Just let me finish there”
“He’s not interrupting him?”
Underrated Gold!
"Yes, it will be on vibrate!"
The delivery of that line is priceless.
Jamie is so terrifying lmao you actually feel like he would physically assault someone whereas you don't have the same feeling with Malcolm
Malcolm will verbally kill you while Jamie will physically kill you
Malcom literally punches Glenn in the face though
Yeah, I know what you mean. Jamie feels like he's just got unhinged dynamism, whereas Malcolm is calculated & just finds the idiocy surrounding him infuriating.
Well he is the crossest man in Scotland. 🤣🤣🤣
@@jakefitzgerald8603 yeah that's true though I did find that was out of character for malcolm. Hes never got physical I'm any way before then and in "in the loop" he talks about how he maims people psychologically not physically
"He trained as a priest" -- even funnier when you know the actor who played Jamie actually did train to be a priest
Whaaaaaaaa? Did he??
@@andyr0ck Yep, but girls got in the way and he decided a life as a priest was not what he wanted.
I can imagine him taking confessions. "You did fucking WHAT, you skeevy twat!"
@@matthewjaco847 "Think you're messed up eh? Just wait 'til I'm done wi ye, you'll look like fucking mel GIBSON'S JESUS!"
He's letting it all out after seminary school! Jamie is a trip!
Proof The Thick Of It is only fiction:
"Paxman isn't interrupting him".
*Paxo
That was the joke - he was so bad even Paxman didn't interrupt him.
"not playing a game here, i actually f'king hate you" - walks in disgust
....
"he trained as a priest"
he actually did!
Somehow it doesn't surprise me.
@@adamgibson7181 aye mum went to school with him. catholic priest in bellshill, iirc?
alexfromglasgow imagine being married by him
@@adamgibson7181 yes the actor actually did which makes me think Capaldi improvised that line. Capaldi said the cast was actually a wee bit disturbed by him lol
"You never told us you had epilepsy... of the eyes."
OMFG, I just sobbed with laughter.
I almost choked on my cereal when he said that!
I just choked on my chipotle 🤣
I love Peter just... letting Stewart completely finish insulting his wife before responding. Peter is such a great character.
"DO YOU WANT A FUCKING SPLINTERED GLASS FACIAL!?"
Look at the actress playing Sam struggling not to piss her pants hahahaha
"...you're devoted to her again..."
Fun fact: Paul Higgins, the actor of Jamie McDonald, actually trained as a priest until the age of 17, but gave it up when he began dating. Nice little nod in the writing there. It's a shame that scene was deleted, it's one of my favourites from Jamie.
I heard that line was improvised by Peter
@@Theseamus2000 He likely did improvise it knowing Higgins did in fact train as a priest.
"What the fuck is he talking about?"
"He looks like he's going to shit himself! Is he going to shit himself?"
"I'm going to have to phone in a bomb scare..."
Ben's appearance on News Night is fabulous.
"Churchill probably ate hummus"
probably had to compromise with some local fare at Yalta.

I wished they had more episodes with Malcolm and Jamie every scene they were in was a foulmouthed Pinky and the Brain episode
funny thing is Jamie (Phil Higgins) really trained for a priest as a kid.. you gotta love peter's improvs :)
When Jamie is yelling at Ben, he shakes his bottle of beer so much some beer actually spills out onto the floor, haha
Roger Hallam just HAS to play Christopher Hitchens when they get round to doing a biopic.
"Every department's got a computer fuckup, what are they buying, a piece of shit from Blake's Seven??" HAHAHA BEST REFERENCE EVER
7:06 check Sams face in the background XD
Well she gets on well with Malcolm so she clearly matches them well.
It's in these videos that you see what good actors they are: some of this is just improvised. Genius stuff.
"Well that implies his home secretary is a drug taking homosexual."
"that's not...bad....is it?"
Shame these didn't make it into the final cut as these seems to be the scenes they had the most fun making! :)
"He will jazz hands,he'll be touching u up under the table he's got all the tricks "
"Can I get you two fellows a drink?"
" I'll have some orange juice, yeah."
"Oh I'll have a pint of fuck right off and die, you miserable fucking tosser. Do they do that in here?"
8:37 This fella. Always with the take-aways. He makes it look so posh, though.
I can't believe I've not seen these ones before, they're golden.
I was crying after Ben came out of the interview. Jamie was furious! LOL
"You never told us you had epilepsy of the eyes" 😂😂

Oh my word Peter Capaldi is so beautiful 😍😍😍 he has ruffable hair lol god bless The Thick Of It x
One of the greatest unanswered questions in TV history. Did Glenn ever finish white washing his sister's cottage?
4:47 "I mean, she's a lovely woman, obviously she's gorgeous and you're... Obviously devoted to her again."
That completely caught me off guard and got me in stitches.
"Well, not-not having an answer is not the same as not knowing..."
"What the fuck is he talking about?"
Rise of the Nutters, a Television masterpiece
He trained as a priest.. oh lord lol
The actor who plays him, Paul Higgins, actually did train to be a priest at one point.
+TheSaltireAtheist Until he discovered girls, of course.
I tought Peter Capaldi who plays Malcom trained as a priest I believe he said so in an interview.
thatnorwegian guy Did he? I know Paul definitely did when he was a teenager.
@@thatnorwegianguy1986 Capaldi was in a punk band no way he'd have trained to be a priest
10:00 Terri and Emma! Joanna Scanlon plays smug, administrative stonewalling like a boss.
It's weird that I never noticed they hadn't met until that bit
i literally woke the house up when malcolm said happy new year
Some of these scenes shouldn't have been deleted
Should definitely have left in "I'm gonna phone in a fkn bomb scare" 🤣
Probably didn't fit in the designated film running time.
*he trained as a priest*
Jamie's sublime in that scene.
I lost it at 'blind toddler in a minefield'.
3:06 Actual response you'd get off a politician, very well done.
This is great, if I've missed any nicknames whilst watching the clip I can just look at the comments and catch up.
Thanks viewers
The Irene Handl reference from Roger Allam is fabulous!
"We'll get you on newsround next time" Im dead😂
I love the completely weak and scared way Ben says Fuck off Malcolm.
So well acted. Best show ever.
"some of my best friends are people" hahaha
"It's not that modern. Churchill probably ate hummus"
Lol 😂
"Devoted to her again" hahaha
I love that the one time Ollie, Phil, and Emma seem to be vaguely getting on well is when they're all making fun of(/despairing in) Ben.
"You never told us you had epilepsy ... Of the eyes!"
"I like to know that I can still make him miserable even though he's 12,000 miles away"
Jamie and Malcom........I am in absolute stitches. I am not pretending to hate, I really hate you! Wouldn't be nice to say that sometimes out loud:)
I do...well,,maybe it's a Scottish thing..Don't hold back fuck all here.❤️🏴❤️
love Sam lolling in the background @ 7:09
"Obviously you're devoted to her again."
"You're as funny as a toddler in a fucking mine filed" - incredible.
''The Prime Minister is an arsehole''
LOL
"as funny as a blind toddler on a minefield". Genius.
The panini joke should have been kept in
“Have I seen you on Telly?”
"That... could just be somebody who likes walks"
I've never seen these Doctor Who Episodes.
This comment made my first laugh of the new year 2025
That Blake’s 7 joke was a spit-take laugh out loud.
"Churchill probably ate humous"
Some of my best friends are people.
Hearing HIGNFY mentioned puts a big grin on my face.
"Some of my best friends are people"
Peters blog is priceless 😂😂😂😂
"He trained as a priest."
3:38 Malcolm invents Dunning Kruger.
'Shitfinger'. Brilliant.
Hadn't realised they were so explicit about Mannion being Ken Clarke until the wife bit.
“I’ve had a sauna with Pavarotti”
I had to look up Irene Handl, but it was worth it.
Refreshing
Wish we saw more of Sam!
6:20-7:25 too funny :')
7:06 That's Sam in the background, right?
Paul Higgins. Lovely man.
"some of my best friends are people" lol
Yes I totally agree. It's just looks silly as well. Malcolm is imaginative in his put downs, Jamie just says 'I'l glass ya'
I think politics would have a lot more active followers if you could turn up drunk at a press conference and call people wankers.
I love the line from dirty harry "do you feel lucky PUNK?"
Lord Nicholson doesn’t stop eating
He has to make the onion bhaji go away 💪

McDonald I think his name is

Hugh only on the phone as the actor that played him was by this time, arrested?
No, no, no,no ,no, that would (look) appalling, we absolutely need a body in there.
Churchill probably ate hummus.
“Working like a you-can’t-say-that-anymore-because-it’s-racist”

Who’s Pete O Doherty?

Why the f**k didn't that amazing Blake's 7 joke not make it?! That was laugh out loud guffaw funny. /smh
It is the computer eff up they should do a series about meghan and harry
I can't believe I did that, I'll never forgive myself now..
Phil loml🥺
Never in my days would I think I'd see a Phil fangirl.
@@venator0405 *fanboy but yeah, Phil’s my favourite out of the whole show. He’s dorky, nerdy, into Harry Potter and seen as more of an outsider, man child, loser and I really relate to him
