He was the most disapointing character in the whole series I thought. The final episode was probably the weakest.

It's not helped by the fact that he played the dithering dick of a minister in In The Loop either...

I thought the point of the Fucker's long-heralded arrival was that actually, he was meant to be a bit shit. He does the whole abuse and taking over part, but comes out with drivel like "this government is maimed but it can't be shamed, it will be fucked!" and everybody's looking at him with a raised eyebrow. As opposed to Malcolm actually rousing the troops. And then, at the end, he says "okay! let's get going!" and people in the background say "so what do we do? what do we do?" and he's trying to get an outside line and doesn't know how.

No, that can't be right. That means the scriptwriters would know what they're doing better than the posters on here. Fact is, it's a shit script, a lazy script, shit acting, shit accents, not as good as last week - which was a "flabby" script anyway - and no where as good as the last series. Plus, Malcolm is the star and the whole point and it's not at all a commentary on government in power. I think that's what we've learned so far.

Best line of episode 8:-
"What's the story, Fuckamory?"

I thought it was a great end, and it was completely obvious that The Fucker was going to be a let down - having said that, his actual entrance was funny, as was this thin reedy voice yelling out ' I want a biscuit'.
Julius had the best line tho - 'I'm not going to eat the pissy biscuit'
As an ep made me laugh properly, especially Fleming's 'We're coming out of the basement, the beatings are over' metaphor

Malcom gave the speech from Braveheart, Cal gave out a Sun editorial.

I thought it was a brilliant episode, and I would be happy if they ended the whole series here... Of course they won't and I'm sure future specials and episodes will be good as well.
It may not have as many belly laughs as it used to, but it has developed into good, solid, political satire and drama...
I think the last arc has done a lot to undermine and de-claw Malcolm as a deliberate ploy by the writers to stop him from completely taking the show over and remind us (and themselves) that this is supposed to be an ensemble piece.

shut it you egg!
Malcolm's demise and rise also had reminiscences of a certain Mr Campbell's engagement with the current office holders I felt. Nice Malcolm is much more scary, like kyser said, him in a fleece was eerie and wierd and not in a good way.

hehe - I just sent that to a couple of people
Ancient thread revive, because the new series starts in less than two weeks.
A piece by the show's, ahem, "language consultant" Ian Martin here. Unsurprisingly, there's an ill-balanced coalition in power, which must mean Malcolm, Jamie, et al are in opposition, which is bound to make them a little angry. I think I read somewhere that Nicola's now the leader of the opposition too.
Discuss.*
