There's an interview in today's Times with Armando Iannucci, Jesse Armstrong & Simon Blackwell, ostensibly to plug the upcoming spin-off book to this show.

But as it's now behind a paywall I can't link it, so you'll just have to imagine what it was like... Errr

It has just been reported that the pilot for American version of The Thick Of It - Veep - will star Julia Louis-Dreyfus (i.e. Elaine from Seinfeld).

I have seen bits of this before, but never a whole episode. This is just fantastic! How utterly intelligent, subtle, fast and biting. I love it - the gushing reviews have not exaggerated. I'm so glad I got around to seeing this - I have just ordered In The Loop - the film version which is a little hard to get in Australia.

One of the very best shows in recent years. Not many TV programmes are a masterpiece, but this comes as close as it's possible to get.
