I rewatched In The Loop the other day. HOW COME I NEVER CLOCKED THAT JAMIE SAYS ‘MISSING YOU LOADS’ TO MALCOLM?!? Like I’ve been going crazy over Malcolm’s ‘I love you’ (and rightfully so) but I genuinely never realised Jamie said that. They are never beating the homosexual allegations.

Jamie and Malcom’s loving phone call in In The Loop, script vs film
[image description: two photos of Malcolm and Jamie’s lines from the BBC script followed by six images of Malcolm and Jamie’s conversation going back and forth between them. Jamie is standing in a large hall in London and Malcolm is walking down a corridor in New York.]
Script:
Jamie:
Okay, your phone's off, which means you've been shot dead by a fat American, but there's been a fucktastrophe. Someone's leaked Liza Weld's Pwip Pip paper to the BBC. I reckon it'll be on the six O'Clock news here, one o'clock your time, so it's going to fist your fucking vote apart. Missing you loads, pwip-pip, toodle-oo!
Malcolm:
Okay Jamie, this is your mission, should you choose to accept it. Find out who leaked Pwip Pip. Jump up and down on them until they are dead. Then find out who's got it at the BBC. Go over there and waterboard them with their own fucking frappacino. We need them to dither about until after the vote, yeah? Then it's all fist bumps and shooty fucking bang-bang. I love you.
Film:
Jamie: OK. Your phone is off, but there's been a catastrofuck here. Someone's leaked Liza Weld's PWIP PIP paper to the BBC.
Malcolm: [listening to his voicemail] Jesus Christ!
Jamie: I reckon it's going to be on the six o’clock news, one o'clock your time. That is going to fucking fist your UN vote to death. [To someone out of view] Hey you! Freeze! [To phone] Right. Missing you loads. PWIP PIP, toodle-oo.
Malcolm: OK, Jamie, two jobs. Job one. Find the PWIP PIP leaker and kill them. Job one has two parts. Job two. Go to the BBC and find out who's got it there. We need them to delay till after the vote. Yeah? I love you.

Do I know anything about UK politics? Not one bit
Do I also watch In The Loop/The Thick Of It and act like I understand what's happening while judging their actions? Of course I do

Hi! I am deeply appreciative of your blog. What Capaldi movies and shows would you recommend?
Hi! I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying my blog. Thank you! I'll try to be brief here: the first thing I would recommend is "Doctor Who". This series allowed him to showcase his acting skills in all their glory. Next, "The Thick of It" and "In the Loop". A wonderful show created by Armando Iannucci, with the mesmerizing Malcolm Tucker, particularly in his moments of anger. The next one is, of course, "The Devil's Hour". Gideon Shepherd is both frightening and appealing at the same time, and I honestly don't get enough of him (I hope the second season can fix that). But every time he appears on screen, he takes the show by storm. I enjoyed the plot and overall style of the series, so it is worth watching. Then we move on to "Criminal Record" and Daniel Hegarty. Peter as a mysterious detective: what could be more intriguing? And, of course, I can't help but mention "The Musketeers". Cardinal Richelieu is hot there so you definitely need to watch it. Of his earlier works, I especially like the film "Soft Top Hard Shoulder", which features his wife as the main character. It's a really cute movie. Good luck! 😊

you know when people are like "this is my comfort character" and pick the least comforting character to ever be made?
I'm like that but with shows.
like "the thick of of is my comfort show" what? the show with nothing but constant yelling, swearing and insults and absolutely no comfort whatsoever? that's really what you're going for?
yes. that's the one.
