The Thick of It: Seasons 1-4

The Thick of It, a brilliant and hilarious series, chronicles the blunders of the fictitious Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship, a government department barely registering on the national radar. This irreverent, brilliant, and painfully funny series, garlanded with rave reviews and packed with awards, is justly seen as a jewel in the BBC's crown. The series smashes its way through the corridors of power in a bulldozer of amusing slip-ups and sharp satire. In this Ministry, every announcement is followed by a whirlwind of u-turns, every policy is a scramble, and every mishap is met with abuse from the Prime Minister's policy enforcer.

Includes Seasons 1-4 and both specials: "The Rise of the Nutters" and "Spinners and Losers."
