Watch an exclusive deleted scene from In the Loop
Armando Iannucci's blistering satire is out on DVD on 24 August. Remind yourself why Peter Bradshaw awarded it five stars with this exclusive deleted scene, in which Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi) mouths off over the phone. Warning: there will be swearing.

Ed Potton, The Times, 15th August 2009Armando Iannucci: 'I don't despise politicans'
The creator of 'In the Loop' and 'The Thick of It' is one of the funniest men in Britain. Is he also one of the angriest?
Christina Patterson, The Independent, 14th August 2009Interview with Rebecca Front

Comedy writer and director Armando Iannucci has re-entered talks with HBO to create a US version of BBC political satire The Thick of It.
Michael Rosser, Broadcast, 24th April 2009All change for Thick of It cast?
One thing Armando Iannucci may well be doing is sitting at a desk somewhere writing the new series of The Thick of It. Which, in the wake of In the Loop, is going to be massively anticipated, unspeakably brilliant and, more importantly, extremely confusing. Because while In the Loop's furious and profane Malcolm Tucker and even more furious sidekick Jamie have just helped start a war, the rest of The Thick of It's band of spineless miscreants were conspicuous in their absence.
Tom Meltzer, The Guardian, 21st April 2009Armando Iannucci: Making In The Loop
I managed to break into the State Department when I was out in DC researching the movie. I had a terrible, amateur BBC identity pass, with basically my face printed off Google and my name under it. A child could have produced it in twenty seconds.
Armando Iannucci, The Huffington Post, 20th April 2009You could make it up
As a plot, it sounds far-fetched. A spat between political bloggers. A Downing Street adviser writes scurrilous e-mails about smearing the opposition. The story comes out and he resigns. All played out over a bank holiday weekend. Except that you could make it up - and it's likely that writer Armando Iannucci already has.
