The Thick Of It - Complete Collection

Welcome to the Ministry for Social Affairs and Citizenship (DoSAC), a government department barely registering on the Today Programme radar, but high-profile enough to produce pant-wetting panic among the major parties' PR teams. Irreverent, brilliantly sweary and painfully funny, this series smashes its way through the corridors of power in a bulldozer of hilarious farce and sharp satire.

First released: Monday 19th November 2012
