Bought this dvd as a replacement to complete my box set, I made the mistake of lending the box set to my brother only to find one disc missing.
A great series, later adapted to us market in the film "In the loop". The dirty side of british politics, complete with curse words, back stabbing, and flat out bullying... Get it today!
Following in the footsteps of Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister, The thick of it is a hilarious take on the state of modern British politics with ministers in terror of the PMs spin doctor and all decisions revolving around media presentation. Its accuracy is both laugh out loud funny and scarily accurate. Excellent
This series has to up there with the funniest productions ever made. The general public dont get much insight into proceedings of parlimentary office workers and although this is completely made up it gives a fasinating story. Set in a governmental department it tells of the hilarious goings on that happen. It is well worth a watch and guaranteed laughs are from the very beginning. It is also worth mentioning Peter Capaldi in this also. His performance in this is different class, as a spin doctor his language is not only defined but downright rude and vulgar. Let me put it this way - the man knows how to swear! I thoroughly recommend this, its so funny at times and sometimes cringeworthy too. Have a watch with an open mind and be prepared for some coarse language and you wont regret it. A tip also would be to watch it with the subtitles so not to miss any of the excellent dialogueRead full review
This is an amazing series, not only is the language filthy and the acting good, the accuracy of the plot lines is uncanny. Recommended to anyone with a bit of interest or know how in the area of politics/civil service, but absolutely not for the faint-hearted. All in all, this is a fantastically innovative programme which led to the making of the film "In The Loop", which swept the board (and deserved to) at the Scottish BAFTAs 2009.
