FFFFFF -- wrong side.

Someone, please help me, fix this. Malcolm is walking over right now. He's holding a clipboard, a blackberry, and he looks very angry.

Ugh. It's like Curb all over again. Thank god that one was eventually put to death, even if it was a serious lateness.

What does this even mean? Not only isn't Curb dead, after a whopping 16 episodes total this is.. overdone?

What it actually is is way overtime, feels like we've been waiting for ever for this season. Opposition stuff has been so good it's practically guaranteed to be one of the best seasons.

It turned into the Malcolm Tucker show when Lansberry was done for child interference.

Damn, I had completely forgotten that S4 was airing, let alone tonight, really looking forward to this. Although I don't think I ever actually saw the last episode of S3, the last episode I watched was the one where
Malcolm got fired.

seven episodes

iirc 1 and 3 are about mannion and his lib dem partner. 2 and 4 about nicola and malcom and the labour party guys. then the last three episodes combine both groups.

God damn, does the BBC deliver tonight.

The Coalition is absolutely ripe for a good Iannucci savaging. I've been waiting for years for this.

Well that was AMAZING!!!!

That writing and venom, you can see why they jumped on this, the coalition is to fertile a ground.

Odd seeing the BBC & Hulu coproduction sign at the end.

haha, "The Inbetweeners". They really are. Not complete no-hopers like UKIP or Socialist Party but definitely not the cool kids (figuratively) like Lab and Con.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Awesome stuff. Its glamorising the Lib Dems a little bit too much though which feels weird since everyones been the butt of the joke before and so not needed to worry about not seeming biased as a political show.

Who says it's the Lib Dems who are the coalition partners? Obviously they are in real life, but it could be any party in THOI world.

idk i think it's fun seeing the lib dems be intelligent but utterly powerless. not everyone in the thick of it has to be a bumbling disaster in public, some people in uk politics are media savvy and it still has the policy itself being utter shit.

The character is the first episode are all dim, angry and unsympathetic, all of the time, though that may be true to life. It should get much better next week with the opposition back.

As great as this episode was the 15 second preview for next week was the highlight. Can't wait!

"Snuff politics."

Dying of laughter when that was said. Also I was really cringing at the school scene.
