<p>for anyone interested in british humor...</p><p><a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=7029945197683440807&hl=en-GB">The Thick Of It</a></p><p><br />from Armando Ianucci (the brains behind 'Im Alan Partridge' and last years <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2de4Hc3PhOA">Time Trumpet</a>)</p><p>its basically a satire on Tony Blair's New Labour nonsense (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_thick_of_it">wikipedia</a>) and has one of the best characters in tv with the PM's 'enforcer' Tucker. </p><p>n.b the star of the first series used to write for the muppets and got done for 'creating indecent images of children' a few months ago...so the next series is doing the Tory opposition. </p><p> </p>
