Multi award-winning BBC comedy created by Armando Iannucci. Includes Series 1-4 plus The Specials.

Welcome to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Citizenship (DoSAC), a government department barely registering on the Today programme radar, but high-profile enough to produce pant-wetting panic among the major parties’ PR teams. Irreverent, brilliantly sweary and painfully funny, this series smashes its way through the corridors of power in a bulldozer of hilarious farce and sharp satire.

• Audio Commentaries

• Script to Screen Guide with Armando Iannucci
• Photo Galleries
• Out of The Thick of It Featurettes
