Malcolm makes things difficult when an outside adviser arrives to inspect all the departments, and enlists his colleagues' help in getting rid of him. Meanwhile, Hugh is upset to discover that everybody is aware the Prime Minister's wife does not like him - a blow to his plans for a policy announcement that will impress her husband.

In the midst of a chaotic office move, Hugh accidentally sends an expletive-littered email to an eight-year-old girl leading to a front page story in the national papers. His day quickly goes from bad to worse when he also 'accidentally' lies in front of the Education Select Committee, leaving Malcom to clean up the fallout.

About this show

The Secretary of State for Social Affairs is having a meeting with Number Ten's Chief Political Advisor. There have been press rumours that the Minister is to be sacked. The Minister is told that none of these stories have come from Number Ten. However, now they're out there, Number Ten would look weak not to sack him. So he's sacked. His replacement as Minister for Social Affairs takes office. And so starts The Thick of It, featuring an ensemble of the best British comic actors, improvising scripts from the sharpest British comedy writers.

^^ nice to see that my 145.50 is being put to good use. Why am I having stuff I've already paid for being offered to me at a rip off price?

The Thick Of It is easily one of the funniest shows to come out of the BBC recently (and that's no mean feat) but I'd strongly advise buying the box set (like I did) which includes all these episodes plus specials and delete scenes for a very good price. But, if you just want it on your phone/tablet etc, by all means buy this.

...the pricing for complete seasons is not competitive. Amazon has series 4 on DVD for £6.50 at the moment against the price here of £12.99; luckily other BBC shows have been more sensibly priced.
