| book description |
Revisit your favourite moments from the cult political comedy with this audio collection of the complete TV soundtracks Described as ‘the 21st century’s answer to Yes Minister’, this scabrous satire set in the corridors of the British government ran for four series between 2005 and 2012. It won numerous awards, including six BAFTAs, and is frequently ranked among the greatest TV shows of all time. Following the relationships between successive government ministers, their advisors and the media, it takes us behind the scenes at the Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship (DoSac), as hapless MPs Hugh Abbott (Chris Langham), Nicola Murray (Rebecca Front) and Peter Mannion (Roger Allam) go head-to-head with Number Ten's ferocious, foul-mouthed enforcer, Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi). Trying to keep them out of trouble are SpAds Ollie Reeder (Chris Addison) and Glenn Cullen (James Smith), and press secretary Terri Coverley (Joanna Scanlan). Featuring the complete Series 1-4 of the hit show, plus the three Specials, this soundtrack collection brings you all their political machinations and omnishambles to listen to on the go. So prepare to immerse yourself in government embarrassment, ministerial cock-ups, policy U-turns, Coalition rows, backroom deals and back-stabbing, as the DoSac team are caught up in a whirlwind of wild media speculation, career-ending scandal and frantic spin-doctoring... Also included are all eight episodes of the accompanying documentary series Out of The Thick of It, released online to accompany Series 3 and comprising exclusive bonus content in the form of deleted footage, specially written scenes, and clips and interviews with key cast and crew.
