Mumsnet Talk

Anyone agree? I love Malcolm so much, it's just too good to be true.

I do love it but I'm finding it harder to get into this series than the last for some reason.

I love it - DH having a tricksy day at work and my advice was to channel malcolm.

interesting shona, I've only seen two so am not fully there, I just love it so much.

best thing on telly by miles

Isn't it though?

I particularly loved the 'punch' last weekend, genius in the mildly restrained panic afterwards.

I just love it, the punch was so glorious and all the torturous behaviour afterwards, it's just so brilliantly childlike isn't it?
I just want to find a truckload of rosepetals and dump them at A Ianucci's feet! And Peter Capaldi's too!

I have always been just a little in love with peter capaldi...

Fantastic show!

Really like the new minister played by Rebecca Front.

Am finding Oli much less likeable this series though. He's always been twatish, but seems to have lost vunerability of being the new boy that made him a bit more tolerable.

I love this show sooo much.

Just cannot believe it is on the same time as the only other thing worth watching atm (Match of the Day )

Did you see it the other week [to the driver] "make sure you get that cyclist, I think he's shadow cabinet". SOoooo funny.

Apparently people go up to Peter Capaldi in the street and ask him to tell them to fuck off!

anyone else spot archie the inventor?

Ooh! I missed that heartofgold! Where did Archie pop up?

he was the guy in the hotel last week who wasn't any of the regulars. can't claim credit for spotting him, i was arguing with dp all the way through that it wasn't him.

I love it too.....PC is absolutely fucking brilliant in it. In fact I think I might watch it now [indulgent]

Ah, he was the press officer! Didn't recognise him with the beard.

Agree it is the best thing on TV. Have been using the line from episode 1 "I've got a to-do list here longer than a fucking Leonard Cohen song" daily since.

hehe strawbezza
we need a quotes list

"The only other candidate is my left bollock with a smiley face drawn on it"

Oh yes definitely the best thing on telly at the moment but if I'm feeding DS it's a nightmare because when I laugh he breaks off and starts giggling. I end up biting my lip with tears running down my cheeks and my stomach aching.

One of the worst bits for that this week was Terri going 'undercover' in the anorak and the whole 'She tweets' 'She tweets on Twitter'. They're all so brilliant in their roles and Melanie Hill was great in it I thought.

Am feeding now and trying not to think about it because it'll set me off again...

I do actually weep with laughter and watch with my hands over my mouth in shock! I haven't even seen prog 2 yet!

Is it on tomorrow night?

Yes, fantastic. (And was also delighted to see Miles Jupp.)

Did anyone see Alastair Campbell on This Week last night? Michael Portillo was recounting how he had heard him shouting obscenities down the phone at journalists and threatening to withhold stories if they didn't print what he told them to print. AC looked furious.

Nice to see how faithful a portrait Malcolm Tucker really is.

Brilliant!

When I manage to remember it's on

I don't think it's as good as it used to be <whines> - the insults are starting to feel a bit try-hard I think. They should bring Jamie back. Apparently the Opposition are going to be in this week's ep again, so that's good cos the guy playing the Tory shadow is fabulous

Loved it when PC called Archie a 'Richard Stilgoe jazzy bastard' and something along the lines of 'I'll rip your balls off, draw eyes on, sew them on a sock and use that as a mouthpiece'

My favourite ever quote (from In the Loop): Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your purview and ram it up your shitter with a lubricated horse cock!
