AIBU?

Absolutely not! I binge watched it on my afternoon off on Wednesday! I can't help thinking that the woman who asks Hugh if he has ever had to 'clean up his own mothers piss' sounds just like the leader of Plaid Cymru.
I love, love this programme. I really wish they'd bring it back to cover this debacle!

Tucker's Law:
"If some cunt can fuck something up, that cunt will pick the worst possible time to fucking fuck up, because that cunt's a cunt".
And
"I will tear your fucking skin off, I will wear it to your mother's birthday party, and rub your nuts up and down her leg whilst whistling "bohemian fucking rhapsody". Right?"
It's like poetry

Agree with you all though, satire is the only way to get through this mess!
Can imagine Malcolm tearing the Toxic Twosome a new one, whilst simultaneously telling some fuckwit from the Daily Fail that basically they're a piece of shit and he will personally force them into the sewer to be feasted upon by rats...or something similar
. Have to agree that this week's politics is a good reason though. Also agree with Kpo58's Yes Minister recommendation.Hassled · 10/06/2017 20:49
Hugh Abbott about Malcolm: "I don't know what's worse. Seeing him rumble towards you, like prostate cancer. Or have him suddenly surprise you, like a stroke."
You actually used to be able to buy Tucker's Law on a tea towel. Someone spotted a market - and I should have bought one.

Oh I have found my tribe!
I only tend to watch series 3, though - I came to it late, after whatshisname had gone to prison and I didn't have to stomach to watch him in the earlier episodes. Are they worth it?
Ever since the referendum I've thought about how Malcolm Tucker would respond. As soon as the results came in I thought of Rebecca Front running round in circles saying, "Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!"
And all that business with Gove and Boris - that went beyond the scope of TTOI.
Fantastic series - best comedy on TV.

Haha so jealous of the tea towel.
I do a bit of scriptwriting (purely for fun, unless anyone wants to pay me!!) and took a class recently that was taught by the chap who taught the writer of the thick of it. He said that even as a beginner he had a way with words and an ability to plot really tightly
