The tv series is a little sharper than the movie - more room to manouevre on a tv series. For the movie there was more of an effort to make it accessible for non-brits - if you want to know how politics actually works in the UK, watch the tv show :P

From the last series and the fall of Tucker as he gives evidence to an inquiry into press leaks - audio only but it's a truly brilliant speech:



Btw the creator of Thick of It (Armando Iannucci) is the creator of Veep.

Holy shit! How did I miss this?

"The builder didn't show up."

Jamie: "What do you expect? They're builders! Have you ever seen a movie with a builder as a super-hero? No, because they never show up in the nick of time."

I'm crying here.
