The Thick of it??

[agricola]

What a top episode that was, possibly the best one of the entire show.

 

[killer b]

it's gone fucking dark hasn't it...?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

At fucking last. It's back on form, no idea why it took three episodes to get into it's stride

 

[London_Calling]

You mean it took a whole hour?


Agree with the general sentiment, it was dark and very good. The scene near the end with the minster in Tucker's office was excellent.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

You mean it took a whole hour?

yep where as the first series did it in minutes...

 

[FridgeMagnet]

At fucking last. It's back on form, no idea why it took three episodes to get into it's stride

Yes. A whole episode of horrible people being horrible to each other, not in a "comedy" way - that's what I was looking for.

danny, you should watch that one.

 

[fubert]

knowledge *is* porridge

The best bit was the severe Malcolming dished out to that horrible little Tory shit, Phil. I almost cheered.

"Don't ever interrupt me you CUNT!"

 

[Balbi]

Nicola's gone all Jeremy Kyle

I did cheer, he was fucking TERRIFIED

I liked it that the actor who played the trainer in the Office popped up as the Tory spin doctor! Brilliant episode. Rebecca Front is really good I think, as she's always been in The Day Today (especially as Rosie May!), Alan Partridge and lots of other stuff.

 

[kyser_soze]

Wasn't she also in Nighty Night?

 

[llion]

She was. She's quite a good writer as well and her occasional columns in the Guardian are usually funny.

 

[danny la rouge]

I watched again, to make sure. That was much better. The writing was much more concise and precise.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

yes it was. get with the programme danny

 

[stavros]

Mannion was excellent last night. Malcolm's advice to Glenn and Ollie was good too;

"You two, rub your cocks together and come up with an idea."

 

[London_Calling]

I watched again, to make sure. That was much better. The writing was much more concise and precise.

They'll all be relieved to hear that.

 

[kyser_soze]

Proper Thick Of It, that was.

Mannion vs the Tory press guy was v.v.funny.

 

[danny la rouge]

yes it was. get with the programme danny

Yes, it was. Whereas the previous week's was a mess.

 

[Belushi]

Proper Thick Of It, that was.

Innit, never have I been so pleased at the sight of some tories! Proper return to form.

 

[danny la rouge]

Well, back off form tonight, then. That really wasn't very good.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Not as good as last week but deffo better than the first three episodes. Loved the way the spin doctors basically just fucked off at the end...

 

[danny la rouge]

There were some nice touches, and that was one of them. But flabbily plotted, and left to the cast to carry.

 

[London_Calling]

Not the depth or dimension but, as partial compensation, some of the very best one-liners.

'The Gorbals Goebbels', is old but it always tickles me.

 

[Norse Goddess]

Bloody love it!

 

[Spion]

Tonight's was an absolute blinder

 

[Ozric]

.....I'm gonna rip off my eyelids, scrunch them up and use them to plug my fucking ears.

Beautiful......not sure if I quoted precisely but you gotta love the sentiment.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Tonight's was an absolute blinder

It was great, so many jokes packed in.

I've worked on Richard Bacon's show, so I particularly enjoyed last night's episode.
