The Thick of it ... Utter Tripe!

For the first time the other night, I watched an episode of The Thick of it! I had heard that it was brilliant and true to life ... I found it utter tripe.

Then I heard the author, Dr Ianucci (sp?), say on the radio that he believes the programme is very true to life. I don't think so.

Yes, there are smarmy politicians. Yes, there are smart Alek politicians and civil servants. Yes, yes, yes; but these people were beyond caricatures in my opinion.

Lots of F word swearing too: not unrealistic but not needed.

I will not be watching this tripe again.

Land of Hope and Glory

Rule Britannia

Jerusalem

Back to normal this year. I don't think anywhere else on earth does such a thing do they?
