The Thick of It Finally Hits DVD April 2nd

The US adaptation of Armando Iannucci's political satire The Thick of It continues to wind its way through the development process but for those who want to see the original: good news! Both series of the original UK version - for my money the sharpest politcal satire of at least the past decade, quite possibly ever - hit DVD on April 2nd. For fans of intelligent, topical humor this is absolutely essential and while a cursory knowledge of British politics will be an asset as some characters are closely based on actual politicos it is by no means necessary as politicans of all stripes in all countries are prone to doing the same damn stupid things.
