The Thick of It: Seasons 1-4

Smashing its way through the corridors of power like a bulldozer, "The Thick of It" is a brilliantly funny series that combines amusing slip-ups with sharp satire. This hilarious show follows the mishaps of the fictional Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship, a government department that barely captures the nation's attention. In this Ministry, every announcement is quickly followed by a series of u-turns, every policy becomes a chaotic scramble, and every mistake is met with fierce criticism from the Prime Minister's enforcer.

Accompanied by glowing reviews and a string of awards, this irreverent and painfully funny series is considered a shining gem in the BBC's collection. The DVD set includes Seasons 1-4 and the specials "The Rise of the Nutters" and "Spinners and Losers." Fans can also enjoy commentary from writer and director Armando Iannucci, as well as deleted scenes and outtakes.

Additionally, viewers can delve deeper into the making of the show with "Out of the Thick of It," a ten-minute behind-the-scenes featurette for each episode of Season Three. The DVD set also features production photo galleries with commentary, giving fans a glimpse into the creative process behind this beloved series.
