The Thick Of It Special - Opposition Extra REACTION!

Comments

Mr Apathy himself....

Oliver

Used to watch this with my daughter. His voice is instantly recogniseable. Very trippy indeed!

David Williams

Apart from The Thick Of It, my favourite Roger Allam (the MP) program is an odd and charming children's program called Sarah & Duck (Quack!) where he voices a narrator who also interacts with the characters. It's inventive, funny and quite trippy. Even as a grown adult I love it. Worth checking out, especially for anyone who has children.

ER

I've been wondering where I recognize him from. Only seen bits of episode here and there on Dave, though.

Joe Thornhill

How many specials are there in-between series'? Lol. This is like Doctor Who in 2009.

Chris Addison is Oliver and he used to do standup stuff and Mock the Week etc. if someone's not said.

That's where I know his voice. And now I remember his picture was on the programme icon in BBC Sounds and that's where I recognised him from. Had a friend many years ago advise me to listen to it which I did, and enjoyed. Will need to give it another run through again.

I can't believe I've never seen this! I've seen TTOI so many times and not once come across it. What a nice treat

Rach

Yes it's an extra on the DVD set along with loads of other stuff. Well worth getting the all-encompassing box set , all the series and specials. A show that bears multiple repeat viewings.

So glad you watched this, sets up the opposition team’s relationships to each other so well and it’s really funny

Big fan of TTOI but never seen this before! Thanks, Boom. Must have originated from one of the DVDs of the series. I assume this was material they filmed as part of the Spinners and Losers special but didn't have space for the broadcast version, which focussed on the government/Westminster/media reaction to the PM's resignation not the Opposition party's reaction.

I cannot wait for you to do Season 3! Been enjoying what you think of TTOI πŸ™Œ

Roger Allam (Peter, the phone spinner) is one of the leads in a radio comedy called Cabin Pressure. I made the mistake of listening to it for the first time when my job sent me round the county to do some marketing stuff - he's far too funny to be listened to on public transport without attracting attention with my snort-laughs!

Alex West

Much more hilarity from Peter Mannion to come, he's a favourite of mine - effortlessly played by Roger Allam.

Phil Robinson

I am a huge fan of this show and definitely in my top 3 along with yes minister/prime minister yet I have never come across this 15 minute special! Thanks so much for this. Happy happy joy joy.
