We are in the THICK OF IT. Carrie once again can't leave well enough alone, and decides to double down on the betrayal and drama by giving Big a "you up?" call while Aiden is away for literally two days. Meanwhile, Samantha throws a party to celebrate her fabulousity, until Charlotte points out that you can't REALLY be fabulous if you don't have a boyfriend. Miranda has a BUNCH of phone sex which we agree would get old REAL fast, and Aiden is giving "bad pet owner" vibes when he doesn't seem to have any reaction to Carrie losing his dog.

Summary The UK is having an election! In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, Jonathan and Jackie discuss the British election system and how it works from a non-party political perspective. They provide an overview of the parties involved, the role of the monarch, the campaign season, election day, and the counting and results process. They also touch on the concept of party manifestos and the importance of constituency-level vote counting. The conversation explores various British political TV shows and their relevance to the British political system. The hosts discuss shows like Yes Minister, The Thick of It, House of Cards, and more. They also mention books that provide a crash course in British politics. The conversation concludes with recommendations for viewers who want to learn more about British politics or enjoy political dramas.

The main parties in the UK are the Conservative and Union Party (right-wing), the Labour Party (left-wing), and the Liberal Democrats (middle of the road). The Scottish National Party and Northern Irish parties also play significant roles in elections. Manifestos are a major part of the election process, with each party outlining their policies and commitments if they come into power. Election day in the UK is not a national holiday, and media coverage is limited until the polls close at 10 p.m. Vote counting takes place at the constituency level, with a race to see which constituency can count the votes first. British political TV shows like Yes Minister, The Thick of It, and House of Cards provide an entertaining and insightful look into the British political system. These shows often highlight the power struggles, backroom deals, and comedic elements of British politics. Books like 'Britain Explained' and 'The British Polity' offer a crash course in British politics and provide a deeper understanding of the political system. Viewers interested in British politics or political dramas can find these shows on platforms like Britbox and Netflix. The shows mentioned in the conversation are Yes Minister, The Thick of It, House of Cards, A Very British Coup, The Diplomat, A Very English Scandal, Stonehouse, The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard, The Politician's Husband, Anatomy of a Scandal, and Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years, and The Gathering Storm. Sound Bites "A party manifesto is like a contract with the voters" "This usually leads to some very wonderful political clips for later on of candidates being embarrassed that they lost in 'Portillo Moments' or like people surprised that they won an outburst." "So Michael Portillo is now known for his colorful pants and doing train tours around Britain on like your favorite show." "He lost his seat. He was a government minister and he didn't even win like, he's just standing there. Like he could see the soul drain from his body as he lost."

This week on TM&TM we find ourselves in The Thick Of It as we keep ourselves In The Loop with one of the key figures, no, THE key figure in the UK wines and spirits industry. TM&TM Towers is a House Of Cards (the original, not the remake), but we had to say Yes Minister when the chance to speak to the most influential person on the UK scene. We had so many questions for this individual that we only made it to Page Eight. We are beyond privileged to say this is part I of our talk with The WSTA's chief executive, Miles Beale. He will need no introduction (but we do give him one in the episode) as he has steered the WSTA and our industry through multiple swells and storms during his tenure at the top. From his life as a civil servant, move into politics, and becoming the UK's most influential drinks figure (did we mention that?) in Part I we enjoy some fun and frolics before a much more serious Part II arrives next week. Ferg delivers his now classic interview style with an updated and much more respectful take: Miles Does Miles Does Not while Lee asks questions about attire, snooker, and the notion of politicians as celebrities. From his loose connections to navy rum and his rumoured part in The Matrix, Miles plays along with our silly games with grace and style, as we would expect. In next week's episode we talk (genuinely) about the bigger issues facing our industry and the fabulous work of the WSTA. For now, enjoy hearing Miles share his preferred tipples, political background, and how to handle a suit-based interview crisis. Our sincere thanks to Miles for his time to record this and talk about things seemingly unrelated to the very important work of the WSTA. We promise that next week's episode is definitely worth a listen, especially if you're in, around, or connected to alcoholic drinks in any way.

Look up statistics about therapy and you probably won't be surprised: Since 2020, 30% of american adults have been to therapy. In the past year, around 25% of adult women and 15% of adult men have received some form of mental health treatment. In 2020, about 25% of white adults received therapy, compared to 15% of Black adults, and around 12% of Hispanic adults. In a world where the struggles of the mind often go unaddressed or misunderstood, it's crucial for us to have dialogue about faith, therapy, mental health, and healing. In this new series, we will explore this unique intrersection in our minds, drawing upon biblical wisdom, personal experiences, and psychologial insights to uncover practical tools and truths to navigate these streets. Join us as we chart a path down the avenues of our minds and find our way through the fog. Welcome to episode four of Headspace: The Thick of It.

This is the second instalment of a three-part discussion. Armando Iannucci is one of Britain's best-loved comedy writers. The creator of hit shows such as The Thick Of It, Veep and Alan Partridge, Iannucci is renowned for his sharp political satire and parodies of the rich and powerful. His latest project, a West End stage production of Stanley Kubrick's Oscar-nominated black comedy Dr. Strangelove, focuses on a rogue US general who triggers a nuclear crisis. In March 2024 Iannucci came to the Intelligence Squared stage where, in conversation with author and journalist Helen Lewis, he discussed the role of satire and comedy in dark times. Can comedy help us cope emotionally with world events such as war and conflict? Does satire still have the power to hold politicians to account? Should we really be laughing at our increasingly unstable and risky world? This is the second part of a three-part discussion.

I am lucky to introduce today's guest who has been at the forefront of British comedy for the last two decades.The man behind hit shows such as Back starring Mitchell and Webb and Sky's Breeders, his career is long and celebrated but it is his partnership with Armando Innaucci for which he is probably best known.Together they have brought movies like In The Loop and The Personal History of David Copperfield into the world as well as the now legendary sitcom The Thick of It and its ridiculously acclaimed US cousin Veep which won seventeen Emmy awards during its run. Along the way, he picked up two of them for himself, as well as four BAFTA nominations and an Oscar nomination for In The Loop.My guest is Mr Simon Blackwell.

Kirsty Young talks to the actor Peter Capaldi about what he's learned from his life so far. Celebrated for iconic TV roles as Doctor Who and as Malcolm Tucker in The Thick Of It, Capaldi's 40-year career also includes an Oscar in 1995 for work behind the camera. He reflects on his journey from a Glasgow tenement block, how he owes his career to a lot of luck and why early failures have made him a better actor. If you could have a conversation with your younger self, what would you tell them? In Young Again Kirsty takes her guests back to the pivotal moments in their lives. Reflecting on what they wish they'd known at the time, and what they've learned along the way, she discovers the honest – and surprising – advice they'd give their younger selves.

They have a guest panellist in legendary comedy writer David Quantick (Harry Hill's TV Burp, The Thick Of It, Danger Mouse, Veep et al), and a film to watch: Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny (James Mangold, 2023). 1969: Indy (Harrison Ford) is confronted by the ghosts of his past as goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) and Dr. Voller (Mads Mikkelsen) come back into his life.

“But it's satire!” says every Twitter lout, demagogue or disinformationist to justify their abuse, pile-ons or straight-up lies. But what IS satire? How does it work? What distinguishes it from bullying? Does it even have to be funny? Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey go in search of the truth of satire on a journey that takes in The Thick Of It, Basil Fawlty, Jonathan Swift, Succession, Lenny Bruce, trickster gods, Boris Johnson, Peter Cook and Beyond The Fringe, Spitting Image and more… all the way back to the origin 1.4 million years ago of laughter itself. Help Ian and Dorian develop Origin Story by backing us on Patreon. You'll get the show early and without ads, plus extra good stuff too. “Wait… this word that I've been using all of my life, nobody knows what it means?” – Dorian Lynskey “Satire is a sort of glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own” – Jonathan Swift “Satire tells you more about its era than any other literature.” – John R Clarke “Laughter is a response to frustration, just as tears are. And it solves nothing, as tears do.” – Kurt Vonnegut “Audiences like to think satire is doing something but mostly it's making them satisfied – rather than angry, which is what they should be.” – Tom Lehrer Picture: The Thick Of It, BBC Written and presented by Dorian Lynskey and Ian Dunt.

Krigen i Ukraina rykker stadig nærmere, fremmede droner truer norsk infrastruktur, Regjeringen kaller inn til pressekonferanse om “en ny og enda mer alvorlig fase”, og statsminister Støre sier “Når ett av våre naboland truer med å bruke atomvåpen, så skaper det naturligvis frykt.” Men hvor redde skal vi være, og for hva? Vi har hentet inn mannen som kan det meste om dagens trusselbilde, Anders Romarheim, som er leder for Senter for internasjonal sikkerhet ved Institutt for forsvarsstudier og Forsvarets høgskole.

Writer and director Armando Iannucci reveals the most important artistic influences and experiences that have shaped his own work. Armando was the creative force behind Radio 4's news satire series On The Hour, which moved to television as The Day Today and launched the career of Alan Partridge. He wrote and directed the political comedy series The Thick Of It, and the long-running American TV series Veep. His big screen credits include In The Loop, The Death Of Stalin and The Personal History Of David Copperfield. Armando recalls his Italian-Scottish family upbringing in Glasgow, where his lifelong love of classical music was first forged in Hillhead Public Library. A fan of radio comedy from a young age, he talks about the impact of hearing the 1978 radio comedy The Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, whose central character Arthur Dent is, like many of Iannucci's own comic creations, a man way out of his depth as events spin out of control. The 2003 invasion of Iraq is chosen by Armando as an event that had a big influence on his decision to create political satires The Thick Of It and its big screen spin-off In The Loop, in which government ministers and their advisors struggle to navigate a political path littered with inconvenient facts and rules. Reflecting on his work as a director, Armando Iannucci cites the American filmmaker Sidney Lumet as another major inspiration, with movies including Network, Dog Day Afternoon, Twelve Angry Men and The Verdict.

Will it take a satirist to fix Britain's busted politics? Armando Iannucci – writer of The Thick Of It, The Day Today and Veep – is looking for emergency fixes in the new podcast series Westminster Reimagined. He and producer Anoosh Chakelian talk to former SPAD Ayesha Hazarika about the forces that are breaking our politics. Why are things so bad? What will it take to fix them? And does Malcolm Tucker seem like an idealist by today's standards? https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast“The Thick Of It charted the rise of the SPAD – now it's all about the rise of the NEDs, the Non-Executive Director” “Malcolm Tucker was the control freak at the centre of Government… but at least he had a plan.” “Cummings proclaimed that the Civil Service were idiots and had to be replaced by freaks and weirdoes… But all he can do it tear things down.” “All the mockery is inside politics now. The fake news, the lies… In The Thick Of It we show rules being bent. But what if there are no rules?” Presented by Ayesha Hazarika. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode 28 starts off with a some singing and a microphone malfunction, but the girls quickly get their shit together and into some classic banter and catch up from the past 2 weeks. Joe goes out of town and all hell breaks loose at the Husky House after Pickle gets spayed.

They are certainly in the THICK OF IT with wedding season, which inspired this episode - Dos and Don'ts for a dope ceremony! You know Jess and Rach are all about keeping things personal, but they give some solid practical advice from aisle runners to dealing with controlling parents.

Splish, splash, we were… having a bath? Nah, swimming the Bristol Channel more like. Not Mick, Hannah and Jen – OBVS! – but the Henley Mermaids are undertaking this epic open-water challenge to raise cash for the Sunrise charity for brain conditions. Three fifths of them chat to Jen about the whats, whys and hows, as well as the many joys of being self-defined “middle-aged ladies”. Mick and Hannah have a bloody lovely time chatting with Georgia Pritchett, multi award-winning screenwriter of top-level telly – including Veep, Succession, and The Thick Of It – about why feelings are like pickled eggs, the wait and travelling involved in writing with other women, and why ‘Boss and Toss' was the TV romance we all needed. The team are all wearing corduroy suits and smoking like chimneys as 1976's All The President's Men gets Rated or Dated. And there's rumpy pumpy, grumpy Dutch veg sellers and way too much singing in the Bush Telegraph.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on November 8 2020 In the fifth edition of VISION ON SOUND, SANDY McGREGOR returns to the studio to talk with me about politics, which, as we all know, is never discussed in polite society, so instead we talk about politically themed television programmes. It's a long, wide-ranging chat covering programmes such as THE WEST WING, HOUSE OF CARDS, YES, MINISTER, THE THICK OF IT (about which I have to apologise on air for several startling errors which seems highly appropriate given the topic), and VEEP, amongst others, and, as ever, we run out of time to delve into any of them as deeply as we'd like to, but we hope it gives you an enjoyable hour of listening. PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version.

In a special bonus edition of The Clappers, Karl chats with the Scottish actor Peter Capaldi over clanking cups of tea in a Melbourne hotel room. You may know Capaldi as Doctor Who, or as the young chap in Local Hero all those years ago (it was just his second role, and he's had more than 100 others since). But for Karl, it's his turn as the sweariest man in politics, Malcolm Tucker, in The Thick of It and In the Loop that really stands out. Capaldi lets slip that he's going to be working with the shows' creator Armando Ianucci (The Death of Stalin) again. But will it be on his daptation of David Copperfield? Hmmm.    Karl Quinn is on Twitter, Facebook and Fairfax Media.   Join The Clappers Facebook Group to find links to all the TV, films, books and music discussed.

With Edd too busy covering the Nicki Minaj/Remy Ma beef, Kyle and Tom take over to discuss the latest in R&B this week. We start off by talking about Charlie Wilson's latest album “In it To Win It” which ended up selling around 50k first week. We talk about the longevity of Uncle Charlie and how he's been able to continually tour at his current age. We also talk about his marketing strategy to integrate his album sales into his concert tickets. Afterwards we talk about Glenn Lewis' new project “Chasing Goosebumps” with DJ Jazzy Jeff. We discuss Jazzy Jeff's influence on R&B as well as Glenn Lewis' hiatus since the release of his last album. Later on we talk about the release of Mary J. Blige's new single “U + Me (Love Lesson)”. We discuss the impact that song will have on radio and whether it will match the success of her current single “Thick Of It”. We then talk about 112's upcoming project. They are now signed to a label so expect some new music from them later this year. Afterwards we talk about some of our experiences dealing with people in the music industry. Not all of them have been positive, but it's fun to look back at them in retrospect and laugh about some of the stories. There have been numerous times where we had to wait a long time for interviews. We also look at moments where interviews were cancelled the very last minute. Afterwards, we run through the Grammy awards to give our thoughts on the winners as well as the Grammy committee. For our food discussion, we talk about Chinese food and the concept of that type of cuisine in the hood. We try to find out why there is a need for bullet proof windows in those areas. This is a podcast you don't want to miss!  

Alicia Keys' new album "Here" is finally out and as always, we're here to give you the real on the album. We talk about the promotion behind the album, the omission of the lead single "In Common" and the disappointing first week sales. The album is projected to sell 33-38k which is a huge drop off from her last album. We also try to figure out how Solange has managed to sell more than the 2000's superstars Alicia Keys and Usher. We also talk about Tinashe's new mixtape "Nightride" and her journey being on RCA records since signing with them a few years back. We've seen her going in a lot of different directions so we try to figure out what the best lane for is right now. Afterwards we talk about some of the new R&B releases that have come out this year including the chart topping single "Thick Of It" by Mary J. Blige and the new Bruno Mars joint "Versace On The Floor" which sounds like it's straight from 1991. We also briefly debate whether Bruno Mars could possible bring R&B back.

And Armando Iannucci, midwife to some of the greatest British comedy of his generation, on The Thick Of It, the 21st century successor to Yes Minister - and on how television itself is going to have to change radically to meet the challenges of a digital age.

After delivering the Bafta Annual Television Lecture, broadcaster and producer Armando Iannucci talks to John Plunkett about what is wrong with the industry and what we must do to fix it

Ken Plume has a chat with writer/producer/director Armando Iannucci about The Thick Of It, rain, jet lag, Doctor Sir Armando, satire, and Tucker party.
