The Thick Of It S4 Ep5 THE ACTUAL EPISODE 5 Reaction

Comments

The male carer is Joe Cole who is now in Gangs of London

mav

Yes. I had completely forgotten about it until I saw your clip. Now I want to watch it again.

Stephen Morris

Also, the retroactive callout in the intro was funny as hell. Lol.

Peter Wood

Well, he reacted to the Ricky Gervais radio show, so why not. What do you think about my suggestion that he watches "Lead Balloon."

Bruce Bowden

Ah, awesome. I'll get on it.

Peter Wood

That Reaction is on here. It's in the Movie Reactions collection page.

Brian Moran

After this, it might be worth checking out The Death of Stalin, if you haven't already. Also by Armando Iannucci

Peter Wood

The Brian Cox line was more than likely in reference to the the scientist as opposed to the actor, seeing as they were talking about space. It was the space Brain Cox who originally inspired the character of Philomena Cunk. If this is one of your favourites just wait until you watch it again. The dialogue is so densely packed you’ll find you probably missed so much he first time round. It’s immensely rewatchable.

Luke Barton

Poor robin. She’s the nicest one there, not a mean streak in her body, she shouldn’t be in politics.

Geraint Harrison

Didn't you watch the Intro? His files were labelled wrong, so the last one he watched was the enquiry. 12th of March.

Joe Thornhill

You laugh a bit like Ricky Gervais in this reaction. Not a criticism :)

Rebecca Musson

I've not found KB's reaction to the 'Enquiry' episode. Have I missed it somewhere?

Paul Casey

Hey, King Boomer. If you like the incoming labour leader in this show you'll love "Lead Balloon" where he appears in almost every episode. featuring Jack Dee, Tony Gardner and Raquel Cassidy. Here's a clip. https://youtu.be/r8riymr8cMM?si=x7mxH71qKTr77Ldv

Bruce Bowden

this show for does for British politicians what the Inbetweeners does for been a British teenage lad

Craig McCulloch

John Finnemore could write a shopping list and it would be a comedy masterpiece.

Alex West

Dont think its on the cards at the moment but BELIEVE me requests matter here! I know he likes the clips he has seen.... so the more people request better the chance.... But please dont spam

Craig McCulloch

Are you an aussie in hospital - or in hospital in Australia ? hope your ok ...erm happy birthday mate .🤷‍♂️

Craig McCulloch

It's a shame, because there's so much great radio comedy out there that I think deserves to have people react to. I mean, there are reaction channels that react to music, aren't there?! Some of the best Mitchell and Webb is only on radio, for example.

Will

Have to admit Mannion for me is my favourite character, his deadpan comments crease me up. Takes something to better Tucker as a character.

John McHugh

He's already seen the inquiry episode, so it's just the finale to go now.

Joel Oates

Mannion is my favourite character. I really relate with his couldn’t give a fuck attitude towards politics

Sam Holbrook

You’re gonna love Yes Minister if you decide to stick with the political theme after this finishes.

Julian T

Peter Mansion is a leged, Roger Allam is a very good actor he is up there with Tucker

Dave L

Peter Mannion's exasperation with the BS is very relatable.

emu cat

A little off topic but if you like Manion you should check out Cabin Pressure, just about my favourite sitcom. It also has Benedict Cumberbatch. It's radio, so maybe not ideal for a reaction channel. https://youtu.be/2T1r2Y5RHkA?si=0nzxqxo6NdCK9ZiA

Stephen Morris

Sorry for your troubles Sam. Get better soon! And Happy Birthday!

Brian Moran

There are two more to go....

Paul Casey

Yeah this episode and this season Mannion is better than Tucker, but comedy is subjective i just find him funnier but the character of Tucker himself and the way things pan out is absolute brilliance

J

Personally I would absolutely put Mannion up there with Tucker, they're both immensely entertaining, but for different reasons. So, in my opinion you're not wrong. I'll be sad too when you've finished the series, it's been a fantastic re-watch for me, and I love that you enjoy this so much.

Phil Robinson

Oh no, hope you feel better soon 👍

Manion quickly became my fave character in the show!

Dave Williams

Hope you're ok!

Kevin Liversage

Sat in hospital in Australia at 3am on my birthday right now. this will pass the time nicely
