The Thick Of It - Deleted Scenes (Series 4)
Ойындар
The Thick of It is a British comedy television series that satirises the inner workings of British government. Written and directed by Armando Iannucci, it was first broadcast for two short series on BBC Four in 2005, initially with a small cast focusing on a government minister, his advisers and their party's spin-doctor. The cast was significantly expanded for two hour-long specials to coincide with Christmas and Gordon Brown's appointment as prime minister in 2007, which saw new characters forming the opposition party added to the cast. These characters continued when the show switched channels to BBC Two for its third series in 2009. A fourth series about a coalition government was broadcast in 2012, with the last episode transmitted on 27 October 2012.
The series has been described as the 21st century's answer to Yes Minister. It highlights the struggles and conflicts between politicians, party spin doctors, advisers, civil servants and the media. In similar fashion to Yes Minister, the political parties involved are never mentioned by name, although the context makes clear which is which particularly during Series 4 when the real life government coalition between the Conservatives and the Lib Dems is reflected in the show. Iannucci describes it as "Yes Minister meets Larry Sanders". Journalist and former civil servant Martin Sixsmith was an adviser to the writing team, adding to the realism of some scenes. The series became well known for its profanity and for featuring storylines which have mirrored, or in some cases predicted, real-life policies, events or scandals.
A feature film spin-off, In the Loop, was released in the UK on 17 April 2009. A pilot for a U.S. remake of the show was not successful, but Iannucci was subsequently invited to create Veep for HBO, a programme with a very similar tone and political issues, with the involvement of some The Thick of It writers and production members.

I love the way that Sam slowly can’t stop herself from laughing at Malcom’s insult to Oli at 11:20 . The relationship Sam has with Malcom is the purest thing in this show.

It’s crazy how little dialogue she has for the screen time she has but I kinda think that was part of her character.

I'd like to think that wasn't scripted.
Peter Mannion's "Don't tell me what to put up on my own whiteboard, I'm the fucking minister in this room" rant was too good to leave out of the final edit. "I can write what the fffFUCK I want on it!"

"This is some of my best stuff and it's being ignored". How very apt for this compilation 😂
They should have left in the scene where Nicola discovers Ollie's treachery. It's easy to forget that he has her to thank for his career advancement up until this point. If she hadn't joined DoSAC when she did, Ollie would probably have gone on to be nothing more than Ben's Glenn.

Eh there were a few years between spinners and losers and the start of season 3, it's implied that he remained as one of Hugh Abbot's special advisors, and it seems the events of the two specials weren't known by Hugh. Had Chris Langham not been a nonce forcing them to recast the minister I reckon it would have followed a similar trajectory and Ollie still would have become a senior advisor to the leader of the opposition, especially since he was chummy with Dan in the early seasons.
“Shitney Spears” just sums up Robyn 😂😂

10:43 was Robyn deliberately lying here or was this her being genuinely incompetent? I honestly can’t tell.
6:10 Is that a reference to Lord Julius Nicholson? :D (Much missed like Jamie in the final season)
