"Don't need to shit yourself about it; we're not buying it, it's funded by taxes!" Love the smug, over-confident way he says that. As if it makes anything better.
The way his temper rises is perfect, his reactions are on the mark and very believable; Manion had worse twats to deal with than Nicola or Hugh ever did.
BdaMonkey I know the actor has been convicted now but I thought the best one out of the whole show was the first minister Hugh. His reactions and delivery always had me in tears.
The look of pure rage on his face as Manion nods at 0:45 is just perfect. He looks like he’s trying to come up with the most painful way to murder Fergus
This 60 seconds has three amazing quotes squeezed into it. - You bought a _bank_ out of social embarrassment? I sometimes buy _The Big Issue_ out of social embarrassment, I don't buy a _fucking _*_BANK!_* - Sweet Tracey Emin. - Oh great, the triple! I'm a nurse-killer, a banker, and now I'm raising fucking *TAXES!*
0:58 I love Stewart's look, that "I literally cannot believe they are this stupid" look. Must be a nice change for Stewart to actually be the clever one in a conversation
@@TheWPhilosopher He did think that Peter wasting money on buying a useless wind turbine and then paying for electricity to make it turn was a good idea despite the obviously high risk of someone noticing the lack of wind when it's in motion so he isn't that smart all the time.
I think the current breed of politicians (Tory, LibDem and Labour) actually use The Thick of It for policy ideas. Perhaps they haven't quite caught on that it's satire.
Like how American politics copied the Simpsons I suppose. Either the writers were on to something, political parties were really that predictable, or some saw it as an instruction manual.
This clip came up in my recommendeds. It didn’t need to, because as I soon found out, I’ve watched this moment so many times that I can recite it perfectly.
“You bought a bank out of social embarrassment. I sometimes buy The Big Issue out of social embarrassment, I don’t buy a FUCKING BANK!” My god the delivery of that line killed me. The way Rodger Allam delivers it is hilarious and brilliant
For anyone who don’t know, “The Big Issue” is a magazine exclusively sold by homeless people in the UK. They just come at you in the street and shout “Big issue” at you.
What show is this?
the thick of it
Panorama.

Scotty Enn adamandfergus are one of my favorite things about the opposition
They are the government not the opposition
it's the most accurate representation of the first cameron ministry
Did he say “Tracy Emin!”
that he did, that he did... "Sweet Tracy Emin!.."
What I love about Roger Allam in the Thick of It is that when he snaps it's so realistic and he looks like he's about to genuinely break-down xD
I love his angry moments.
He's probably channeling his anger from the similar real life events. All those banking adventures are behind us now though, 2020 is new era, probably
@@fyodorseriencha6538 lol new era
Yeh he's seriously world class
@@fyodorseriencha6538 this didn't age well
The way his temper rises is perfect, his reactions are on the mark and very believable; Manion had worse twats to deal with than Nicola or Hugh ever did.
Considering by the time he left opposition, half of his staff are Nicola and Hugh's guys
Nicola and Hugh were the twats malcolm had to deal with. Mannion himself was actually ok
@@lughildana Also Nicola's twats worked for her, Mannion is dealing with people from a coalition government.
Manion is far and away the most enjoyable character on the programme - I think he's the one we're meant to identify with most.
@@ow4744 Really? He doesn't know what an app is. I doubt it mate
Peter Mannion is the best character in this show. He's hilarious.

I love the idea of using 'SWEET TRACY EMIN' as a swear.
Tracy Hepburn...
😂that was so funny
@@nicolesong6199 Emin
It's not even a swear word dumbass
@@keiranclarke2955 But it's being used in replacement for a swear word, which the entire point. Dumbass.
I had a moment of weakness and they exploited it, just like Hugh Grant.
That line was hilarious.
0:33 I love how Peter sneakily changes the wording from "set up" to "buy", thus immediately drawing attention to the cost issue.
The look of pure rage on his face as Manion nods at 0:45 is just perfect. He looks like he’s trying to come up with the most painful way to murder Fergus
In his head he's thinking oh it is us is it you pompous twat, I could swing for you but it'd be too much bother
"it's funded by taxes" like when is that EVER a good thing to say in politics? Even if it's true you don't actually say it
“The triple! I’m a nurse killer a banker and now I’m raising fucking TAXES!”
"A nurse killer, a banker and now I'm raising fucking taxes" - well Sunak has 2/3 so far.
All 3 now
The sheer weight of emphasis on “fucking bank” is legendary.
When Manion is about to drop the f bomb, I actually flinch away because of the force he swears at 😂😂
It's the O.G. Javert energy coming to fore
I love Peter's face after Fergus says "This is so fucking us" you can tell he just wants to strangle Fergus at that point.
This 60 seconds has three amazing quotes squeezed into it.
- You bought a _bank_ out of social embarrassment? I sometimes buy _The Big Issue_ out of social embarrassment, I don't buy a _fucking _*_BANK!_*
- Sweet Tracey Emin.
- Oh great, the triple! I'm a nurse-killer, a banker, and now I'm raising fucking *TAXES!*
Just watched this and had to come here and watch it again. The blunt contempt on 'bank' had my ribs hurt..
I dunno why he always reminds me of Christopher Hitchens!
It's the lovely hair
Posh, brash but likeable, floppy hair.
You can find him reading Hitchens' essays on TH-cam. Clearly a popular comparison!
Posh upper class man who actually really cares about the ordinary man
Its often been said so id say you're in a majority there
Roger Allam says fuck so well
33 people buy banks out of social embarrassment
This scene is gold
“Alllllllright don’t need to shit yourself about it because we’re not buying it, it is funded by taxes”
That’s actually too true.

0:39 This line and the way he says 'bank' in particular makes my ears happy.
I’m a nurse killer! a banker! and now I’m raising fucking Taxes! Is an underrated line from the show imo
The funniest thing is that literally days after broadcast, something very like this was shat out by the coalition.
The delivery of “fucking bank” was absolutely glorious
This is even better than "I'm going for a twix"
Or Mr Tickell's tent-post twattery?
@@ow4744 well if you know I can't say that, by definition you know what I can say so write that instead 🤣🤣🤣
Almost as iconic as

I wish this video included the part where Peter yelled, "It was the only place we could get a FUCKING SIGNAL!!"
I think the current breed of politicians (Tory, LibDem and Labour) actually use The Thick of It for policy ideas. Perhaps they haven't quite caught on that it's satire.
what do you think the tick of it was based on?
What I'm saying is that it's all the other way around. The Thick of It doesn't copy from UK politics, UK politics copy from the Thick of It.
Brother Vibius ll
Half these stories were in Yes, Minister...
Like how American politics copied the Simpsons I suppose. Either the writers were on to something, political parties were really that predictable, or some saw it as an instruction manual.
Roger Allam, slightly underrated national treasure
"I'm a nurse killer, I'm a banker, and now i'm raising FUCKING TAXES!"

So identify with the Mannion character. Wading through a world of bullshit that no one else seems to see and pretend that you like it.
Strength through unity. Unity through faith.

The thick of it
I love how the thumbnail is the exact moment when he says BANK
Tracy Emin!
After bailing out the banks for several hundred billion. Buying a bank fir 2 billion doesn’t seem so bad 😂
Douglas Richardson’s mysterious backstory continues to amaze
You left the EU out of social embarrassment?
A man with an amusing name has died 😂😁
When £2billion was a lot of money.

2 billion is slightly more than that :(
When algorithm seconds 40 good know will be it
“Peter, this is so fucking us”
Peter's one of the only genuinely likeable characters in this show.
Peter sounds like Sniper from tf2
“This is so fucking us” LibDems folks
Or what Rishi Sunak would call a better-than-average day for us.
Roger Allam gave the best line delivery in the whole show. Weary and angry disdain personified perfectly.
Hey chief, it looks like we are buying a bank. This makes me feel - unemployed. Might i suggest that we dont buy the bank? How does that sound to you?
I literally have no idea what this is, I’ve never seen it before, and now I must watch it

The Thick of It. Should be on Netflix if you're from the UK, I'm not sure about other countries
It’s on Hulu in America
