3.4 The Thick Of It Explained

All British Comedy Explained… to Abigoliah Schamaun, by Tom Salinsky 3.4: The Thick of It. Released 22 October 2026. Armando Iannucci and an amazing team of writers and actors, plot, swear, improvise and panic their way through government in this sweaty sitcom which updates Yes Minister for the Blair years. Essential viewing. We’ll be watching the first ever episode and then we’ll meet Nicola Murray in series three episode two. Next time we’ll focus on the House of Commons as the centre of power and meet Alan B’Stard aka The New Statesman. We’ll watch series one episode six “Three Line Whipping”, and then series three episode five “Natural Selection”. Here’s a long list of social media systems where you can find the podcast and us.
