I don't usually get involved with TV, but The Thick of It has always gripped me.
It was heart-rending to see MT broken and defeated last night, pouring his ashen heart out to Snakey Ollie. When he was talking about having no real friends, no children (gulp) and no memoirs, you got a small glimpse of a normal man who has given up everything for a thankless job that has turned him into nothing but, as he said, a host.
Made me want to collect him out of the cab at the end and take him home for some food.
I know when Ollie dropped him and carried on going he was only doing what MT would have done, but I hope he does end up pissing himself on his BIL's sofa.
