Currently in the middle of season 4 on the BBC, this is a political... well, I was going to say satire, but like "Yes, (Prime) Minister" before it, it's probably too close to the truth to be satire.  It's from Armando Ianucci, the bloke behind "Veep", and the script (about a third of which is improvised, apparently) is just fucking breathtaking.  Malcolm Tucker might well be the greatest character in the history of television.  Seriously.  He's certainly the sweariest.

Just fucking ridiculously good.  I can't quite get my head around how good this is, actually.  Fucking hell.

I may have seen an episode of this... let me check.

Yep, I sure did. It was hilarious.

Unlike Veep - which was stupid.

I've never seen Veep, but I know it's how you guys might know Armando Ianucci.  If it's shit, ignore it.  The Thick Of It is still fucking amazing.
