The Thick of It: Series 1 and 2
Welcome to the ministry for Social Affairs: where every announcement is followed by a whirlwind of u-turns; every policy is a kick, bollock and scramble and every gaffe is met with a magnificent torrent of abuse from the PM's policy enforcer Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi). Irreverent, brilliantly sweary and painfully funny, this series smashes its way through the corridors of power in a bulldozer of hilarious farce and sharp satire. See also "In the Loop".
