- The Thick of It is a British comedy television series that satirises the inner workings of British government. Written and directed by Armando Iannucci, it was first broadcast for two short series on BBC Four in 2005, initially with a small cast focusing on a government minister, his advisers and their party's spin-doctor. The cast was significantly expanded for two hour-long specials to coincide with Christmas and Gordon Brown's appointment as prime minister in 2007, which saw new characters forming the opposition party added to the cast. These characters continued when the show switched channels to BBC Two for its third series in 2009. A fourth series about a coalition government was broadcast in 2012, with the last episode transmitted on 27 October 2012.
The series has been described as the 21st century's answer to Yes Minister. It highlights the struggles and conflicts between politicians, party spin doctors, advisers, civil servants and the media. In similar fashion to Yes Minister, the political parties involved are never mentioned by name, although the context makes clear which is which particularly during Series 4 when the real life government coalition between the Conservatives and the Lib Dems is reflected in the show. Iannucci describes it as "Yes Minister meets Larry Sanders". Journalist and former civil servant Martin Sixsmith was an adviser to the writing team, adding to the realism of some scenes. The series became well known for its profanity and for featuring storylines which have mirrored, or in some cases predicted, real-life policies, events or scandals.
A feature film spin-off, In the Loop, was released in the UK on 17 April 2009. A pilot for a U.S. remake of the show was not successful, but Iannucci was subsequently invited to create Veep for HBO, a programme with a very similar tone and political issues, with the involvement of some The Thick of It writers and production members.
Hugh always makes me laugh. Such a persistently deflated, self-deprecating and lifeless husk of a man.
Shame he couldn’t stay on for the latter seasons, he’s so much funnier than Nicola
@@amateurchef9992 yes but one tends to rightfully jeopardize their career when theyre a nonce
@@joekreissl4499 Actually he didn't have those nonce files for nonce purposes, he was actually doing it for research for a new part. He also said he got molested as a kid so he was trying to empathise with the child in the videos.

Glenn Cullen is a real smooth operator in the phones scene. Meanwhile Olly, the new guard, is selling him out. You can see how he had such a long career, and why it really was a case of 'changing political eras' that forced Glenn out.
Glenn was solid, reliable, well spoken and had integrity. He had to go
"I think retro is coming back".
🙀
I love Peter Capaldi ruining the take by laughing so hard :)
Glenn wasnt even looking at a watch everytime he glanced at his wrist in the first clip lol
I decided long ago not to go into acting while more than one person at the time were telling me that I should. Being an actor must feel boring sometimes except when being a stunt double in a vehicle at the time. Unless of course that is only on the hobby horse kind. Instead of a more obvious one in a country and western bar. I prefer to pass up that kind of 'exitement' too. PArticipating in Video games seems even more boring to me.
That's not the first time Glenn has asked another man to 'twiddle his knob'.
We’re not at war with America?
Good....good, that could be problematic.
“There’s phone calls into my mother, who hasn’t even spoken since the stroke.” 🤭😂
