I love that Julius is so convinced of his own raconteur skills that he _wouldn’t dream_ of just saying, “I can make that inquiry go away”. No no! He has to - _has to!_ - DEMONSTRATE his point… before saying what his point is. Just one more brilliantly conceived and acted character, in a show chock full of them.

I adore how Julius does the big speech about a Dan Miller coronation and Malcolm’s main question is about the fact that he has a nephew

@RichardHunterGreenwich

I do feel like Alex Macqueen doesn't get enough credit for the precision priggishness he shows in this role. Every scene with Malcolm you ask yourself "surely this man is the exact opposite of Malcolm; he'll destroy him", and gloriously he never does, which actually makes it a far better relationship to watch.

He's at charter house. Only a day boy, not a boarder!

"I am the man who makes the bhaji go away" Jesus, c. 2020 AD

'...my government troubleshooter stetson which is a long way from my homburg of sober inquiry.' Amazing.

Julius' 'Only a day boy, not a boarder' line about his Charterhouse nephew is one of the greatest in British satirical history. Breathtakingly sharp.

His best schemes were: 1) sending Nicola Murray to stand in front of the Liam Bentley sign, spelling "I am Bent" behind her, so she was in a position where he could force her to choose between making her husband quit his job or her daughter going to public school; 2) Telling Steve Flemming that Nicholson's report would be unfavourable to him, knowing he'd go and meet Julius, calling his partiality into question; 3) Nicola's aid being photographed with the 'bat people' notes.

2:16 you can tell Julius knows exactly what's coming his way, but he continues his little child-like game with pens and food to distract Malcolm from eating him alive.

Some of the best dialogue of the entire show in these few minutes

Pretty interesting how Malcolm was given an out to get back into government and he decided to destroy Steve and force a snap election. He's ruthless and petty but also I think it shows his loyalty is to the party rather than work with the individuals who betrayed him.

If you look at Malcolm's interactions with other people he treats politicians, civil servants and journalists like dogshit but is always courteous and kind to civilians. He's in politics to help people, but he sees the mechanisms of government as being in his way which is why he's so ruthless at dismantling them.

​@@britishnerd3919 He's actually a brilliant Master - and as of a more recent Audio, confirmed to be the first to be directly resurrected by the Time Lords. Well. Sort of. Technically he's resurrected by three of his other incarnations with their tacit consent. His Past "Bruce" Self, from the TV Movie, The "War Master" (The Incarnation played by Derek Jackobi, but set before he erased his own memories as seen Utopia) and "Missy", his future female incarnation. The War Master is revealed to have arranged it on the instructions of his superiors, in order to ensure his own eventual emergence and participation in the Time War. The Story in which he obtains that extra regeneration cycle is an entire box set in and of itself. So the master's "Corpse" Regenerates into this new incarnation. This incarnation of the Master actually existed in the Audios for about 5 years in real time, before they did this "Multi-Master" Story. His Regeneration and emergence was actually something of an unexpected twist. He's a wonderful Master. Vicious, cruel, and intelligent in a frightening way. Most of his Stories involve the 8th Doctor, and he's generally paired with him (In the same way that Delgado is paired with 3, Crispy Master with 4, Ainley with 5, Simm with 10, and Missy with 12.) But he pops up in a few others too.

I've always wondered whether Malcolm went over to Julius's house or Julius came over to Malcolm's, with the food. Malcolm wears a wedding ring throughout season 3, but we never see Mrs Tucker in the domestic scenes. She wasn't around when Malcolm was hosting the lunch for the press people at his home...so i assumed she must have been at work or smth. But Julius meets Malcolm at night...when she could have been home. Now I know that Malcolm doesn't have a wedding ring in season 4, which means they must have seperated between s3 and s4. So were they already living apart in season 3?? Or was she around and we just didn't see her in the show?
