The Thick of It

Created by Armando Iannucci (Veep) , this satire offers a glimpse into the inner-workings of British government. Outside of the spin-doctoring, backstabbing, ministerial cock-up, coalition rows, backroom deals, and policy U-turns, its a model of efficiency. Featuring an ensemble of the best British comic actors like Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who), improvising scripts from the sharpest British comedy writers, the series is justly seen as a modern classic.
