What's Funny About...

Series 1, Episode 2 - The Thick Of It

Peter Fincham and Jon Plowman talk to Armando Iannucci and Rebecca Front about the satirical sitcom.

Who came up with the line "about as much use as a marzipan dildo"? And who was Malcolm Tucker really based on (it's probably not who you think).
