If you love Veep, allow us to introduce you to the louder, angrier UK version. The Thick of It is the brainchild of Armando Iannucci, a Scottish satirist and writer who went on to create Veep. It opens the book on the world of UK politics, from spin doctor Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi, on top form) to the civil servants working behind the scenes.
Events in the show echoed political events in the UK, so when new parties came into power, the story and cast would shift accordingly. If you love this semi-fictional political world, the movie In the Loop offers the missing link.
