The Thick of It (2005) [DVDRip (XviD)] 

Torrent contains: 6x30ish minute episodes with commentaries & subtitles + extras. 

Description: 

This series brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'sworn into office' & has been affectionately described as 'F*ck off, Minister!'. Armando Iannucci's brilliant & partly improvised satire of modern political shenanigans is an absolute classic. The funniest thing I've seen on the telly in a very long time. ***Warning contains very strong language infused with much wit!*** 

The deleted scenes provide extra insight & character backstory. The 'Script to Screen' extra demonstrates the difference between the scripted, improvised & final version of a scene. 

Starring Chris Langham, Peter Capaldi, Chris Addison, James Smith & Joanna Scanlan.
