I loved In the Loop, but I don't think it was as good as The Thick of It.There were some great lines - SHUT THE FUCK UP, LOVE ACTUALLY springs to mind, but I thought it fell slightly in the sections set in America. That said, still fantastic.

I dunno.It was very different, yet the same I thought. American parliament works in a very different way to ours, so it was always gonna be a stretch, but I think they pulled it off excellently.

I read somewhere that Armando Iannucci used his BBC pass to get into the various US government buildings, have a look around and take notes for the set design.Sneaky.
