Better ideas?

Believe me it's not that much fun having Malcolm Tucker for a dad. 
Aw.
Well ok, I'd only want him on the agreement that he'd be Malcom Tuckery to everyone else, but nice to me.

Even in nice mode, you're kind of waiting for the anger to emerge! Still my da does have a very funny line in insults which you can't help laughing at - even if you're the one he's calling a useless c**t.

The lead male character in Alastair Campbell's new novel, Maya, is an unstable media spinner. Maybe Iannucci should sue?
Only started watching this on the repeat run, and have to say I'm loving it.
BBC Four's Great offices of State featured the Home Office with Alan Johnson's first day in a shiny new PFI office block that looks a lot like DOSAC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qplfp
Lovely clip of Johnson in full Nicola Murray/Hugh Abbot mode making crap jokes to his civil servants.
