I love Armando, and ‘The Thick of It’ is absolutley brilliant. Here’s the mininova torrent. Notice if you go to the Amazon Page for this DVD you get a wee picture of the sarcastic wee Scot (Iannucci) himself… no DVD in sight.

I was thinking last night - I would pay to watch this on a big screen (if we had a TV I’d be paying to see it on a smaller one, gawd bless the Beeb) wouldn’t it be great if we could convince our local cinema to give a screening of Planet Earth (in HD of course)- or Blue Planet. I’m sure it has been done. Really great stuff.
