Quote of the day

[chickenfeet]

From The Thick of It S2E1.

Scene. Ollie is on the phone to Emma, the Tory political adviser that he's shagging. Tucker (foul mouthed Scot and PM's Press Secretary) is swearing into his cellphone at the top of his voice in the background.

Emma: Is that Tucker I can hear?

Ollie: No, I'm in a Scottish restaurant and some guy is complaining that his Mars Bar is underfried.

Surely this couldn't happen?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

No, not at all like that nice Mr. Campbell.

We watched that last night and spent the entire show cringing at how "real" it was. It's very well written.

That and shouting "It's Dr Tony" the first time "Dan Miller" was on.

As an aside, we first saw Dr Tony, as part of a comedy duo called "Struck Off and Die". Dr Phil (the other one) wrote "doing the rounds" for Private Eye.

It's compellingly horrible.

[shezan.livejournal.com]

It's a complete trainwreck, absolutely addictive!

How come they only made 6???

[jen-c-w.livejournal.com]

No....there's more than 6. There's 2 series for a start, and they may make more. There are um complications with its leading man...
Peter Capaldi is a genius.

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

The BBC 4 website only admits to six episodes.

Could things ever get bad enough that one has to shang a Tory political adviser... oh, you're talking about television?

I used to joke with a friend about eating Scottish food. Usually on road trips. Do you want to stop? nope ... let's just drive through the Scottish place and keep going ...

[a-d-medievalist.livejournal.com]

By the way, do you ever listen to "Think The Unthinkable" (I think it's called -- on 4, comedy about a consulting firm called Unthinkable Solutions?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

I have all the episodes. The first two series were hilarious then it went down hill a bit.

[frankie-ecap.livejournal.com]

On a different note, this (http://crookedtimber.org/2006/01/18/cheese-eating-mechanization-monkeys-2/) looks like your sort of thing?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Interesting, if unsurprising.
