Woo-hoo! New series of the Thick of It begins on Saturday night on BBC 2.

And as a warmup, the two-part special is on again, first part tonight at 11 on BBC 4, 2nd part Friday.
Tonight's episode has Jamie's famous ipod rant, one of the great comedy scenes.

Looking forward to the new series of easily the best British comedy of the last 20 years. Yes, even better than My Family.

Now come the fcuk in or fcuk the fcuk off.

Terri to Malcom - You're more like a sultana in a salad

Ray K · « **Reply #42 on:** October 24, 2009, 12:12:59 pm »

Tonight at 10.10 BBC 2 folks.

One of the genius parts of the Thick of It is that they created the character of Malcolm - a foul mouthed, psychopathic scotsman. And then teamed him up with Jamie, who's an even more foul-mouthed psychopathic scot.

From last night's re-run, Jamie in action:
'Julius is leaking? That baldy-headed pussy? If you think he's leaking now, wait till you see when I'm finished with him. He'll look like fucking Mel Gibson's Jesus. Fuck. Fuck'

'You, Julius Nicholson, being of a sound mind, but with a body that looks like a giant sex toy, did knowingly do us up the shithole by passing confidential information to the enemy. And I am gonna have your guts as a skipping rope, then rip yor lungs out, sun-dry them and wear them as a waist-coat'.

And my favourite: 'If he wants a fight, we're playing Motherwell rules. A pint glass in the eye and then a pool cue up the arse. And then another pool cue in the other eye'.

Amando Iannucci's CV includes The Day Today, Knowing Me Knowing You, I'm Alan Partridge and now this.
He might just be the best comedy writer on this side of the atlantic (along with Graham Linehan) of the last 20 years.

I'm going to have your fucking lungs, ehm, sun dried and made into a fucking waistcoat.

This series will be as good as the first, if the this episode is anything to go by

"Darling, I wouldn't fucking piss on you if you were allergic to piss"

"Today, you have laid your first solid egg, of fuck"

"You took the data loss media strategy and you ate it with a lump of e-coli, and then you sprayed it out of your arse at 300 miles per hour"

"A face like Dot Cotton licking piss off a nettle".

Brilliance. Best thing on TV. Who said British TV was rubbish in comparison to the states?

With the opposition cast due to return later in the series, the only thing missing is Jamie. Not only did that character have the single best soliloquy on tv ever (the ipod rant), but quotes like the one above and the following make him my favourite (ok, second to MT) in the show.

"I'm not leaving it to you, you couldn't organize a bum r@pe in the barracks"

"Enough with the pleasantries, let's just oil up and get fcuking, yeah?"

"You're about as secure as a hymen in a South London comprehensive..."

"like being fcuked by Ron Jeremy but without the compassion"

Minister: "Everything has to be black and white...you know, I love you, fcuk off! There are lots of shades of grey"
Jamie: I know that, I'm looking at fifteen of them right now

"fcuk off before I perform keyhole surgery on you... with this fcuking key"

"You're the fcuking sh!ttest James Bond ever! You're David fcuking Niven!"

....ad infinitum....

With writers and a cast like they have, it's hard to go wrong.

Love the one from Malcolm last week:
'I'm all ears. I'm Andrew fucking Marr here'.

And when asked how do you clear a paper jam: 'I dunno - kill a kid an hour until it sorts itself out?'

One of the best things about this is that sometimes they do lines that are just on the edge and make you go oooh, but you cant help pissing yourself -

"I feel I'm at a therapy group being run by my own rapist"

Yes I was going to post that line in here. Absolutely hilarious.

Just saw 'In The Loop'. There are some amazingly funny scenes and lines in that.

Only caught this from this series, and think it's fantastic! Can't believe this thread only has 2 pages.

Loved it last week when Ollie told someone to follow Malcolm, and when she came back she said 'I couldn't keep up with him' and Ollie said 'what are you? A fucking penguin? RUN!'

Delightful.

It was particularly funny last night. Lines that have lodged in my mind.

Tory fella doing impression of Malcolm: "I'll rip yer bladder out and use it as a bandana."

"I don't want to fellate you."

It's top drawer stuff.

Mannion: "So, what are you saying, it's wrong to send your child to a comprehensive?"

Phil: "Yeah, wrong. Or at least very, very careless."

Oh, and...

"Her daughter's gone a bit... raging bull"

"What, she's put on a lot of weight?"

"Sort it, or abort it".

I think that Malcolm reads RAWK.

'You breathe a word of this, you mincing fucking C*NT, and I will tear your skin off, I will wear it to your mother's birthday party, and I will rub your nuts up and down her leg while whistling Bohemian Rhapsody'.

Superb last week. Rebecca Front is growing into her role and Roger Allam is just brilliant as Peter Mannion.

Thought it was very good tonight. Richard Bacon was a good sport in not taking his show all that seriously.

Great showdown between Malcolm and Stewart at the end.

killer-heels · « **Reply #73 on:** November 22, 2009, 12:38:41 am »

Brilliant episode. I will happily join Malcolm in finding that twat Tim from Ruislip.

saoirse08 · « **Reply #74 on:** November 22, 2009, 10:53:44 am »

Was worried about whether it would regain its brilliance after the Chris Langham paedo stuff, but this series has been fucking brilliant. The 'Tim from Ruislip' rant was fantastic. But as has been mentioned earlier in this thread, the line of the series so far has been:

"I feel I'm at a therapy group being run by my own rapist."

I nearly choked.

Rusty Oysterburger · « **Reply #75 on:** November 22, 2009, 01:50:56 pm »

The showdown at the end was boss,

"I've got a statement from a rentboy"

"well maybe you can claim it back on your expenses?"

He loved that cake. So much so he spat it everywhere listening to his minister's radio performance.
