The Thick of It S3: DVD Review
The Thick Of It Season 3
Rating: M
Released by BBC and Roadshow
The ferociously satiric comedy The Thick Of It returns with a slight
retooling for its third year's outing.
The jerky camera work's still there and the humour is as dry as ever before
but the dynamic's shifted with more of an emphasis on Peter Capaldi's brilliant
spin doctor Malcolm Tucker. Once again though, the target is still the
ineptitude of politicians, focus groups and petty office squabbles as the
election's taken in and backstabbing aplenty reigns.
All in all, this series continues to impress - from Peter Capaldi's great
performance of bile and bluster as the spin doctor, there's little to match him
on the comedy front. With smart writing from some of the UK's best comedy
brains, this really is superlatively intelligent and ferociously funny
stuff.
A fourth series is planned for 2012 but for now, there are three series of
pure brilliance to fall back into and wallow in the best creative and savage
comedy to have come out of the UK in a very long time.
