- Roger Allam appears in Armando Iannucci's sweary Shakespearean political hellscape as Peter Mannion MP, a man who is desperate to control the only thing he has left - his clothes.
If you haven't seen this yet I don't know what you're playing at. It's on Netflix in the UK and Britbox in the US. Probably other places too. It's very sweary, don't show it to your kids.
How the hell did you miss this classic: “I hate school children; they’re volatile, they’re stupid and they haven’t got the vote. Might as well talk to fucking geese!”?
😂
😂😂😂love it
Sorry but "I sometimes buy the big issue out of social embarassment not a fucking bank" is definitely Peter's finest hour
with "I'm 54, Stewart, my knees are fucked and my patience is snapped, some of us had to go through this hippie shit the first time round!" being a strong second.
"NOT ONLY AM I A BANKER, I'M RAISING FUCKING TAXES!??!"
@@hoilst265A banker, a nurse killer but now I'm rAISING *FUCKING* TAXES! 😭😭😭
"The bailiffs are coming to take away my will to live" is so fucking underrated
every peter mannion line is underrated
Peter, you can't just call the public fucking horrible. "Yes i can, i've met them..."
Best line 🤣
Nothing much makes me laugh in this world but the way Peter Mannion says 'fuck' hits the same level of funny as it did the first time round
Personally, he should have said more "bugger" 💀 to emphasize his... Stature
He fully winds up to it when they're talking about The Bank. It's wonderful.
@@Mousy677 "I don't buy a FUCKING BANK!" "And now I'm raising FUCKING taxes!"
“Oh for phhhhhfucks sake…”
When Phil hands him the multicolored tie;"what's that,I'm commenting on a suicide not a fuckin camel race"😂😂😂
This 😂
Peter man-yum
Where's "You bought a bank out of social embarrassment"?
I sometimes buy the Big Issue out of social embarrassment
@@MrLethalShots not a FUCKING BANK
I don't buy a _F U C K I N G_ *BANK!*
This man needs to play Christopher Hitchens in a biopic ASAP.
PS: I'm not alone. 🙂
Genius!!
Copy-pasting from another comment
He has played two characters who are said to be based on Christopher Hitchens. Ted Hughes in The Hippopotamus and Bill Huxley in Say Your Prayers. Say Your Prayers seems to me to be a more direct interpretation of Christopher Hitchens whilst not being literally him. I'm not especially familiar with Christopher Hitchens so I can't say how much these films achieve him, but they are both worth a watch. Especially Say Your Prayers, it's very good.
@@WatchingRogerAllam He's also recorded audiobooks of Hitchens' essays.
Amen. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed the similarities.
Perfect casting!
"Shut the fuck up you prancing shit"
I love how he isn't afraid to hurl verbal abuse at Stewart.
Okay, Doctor JAZZ
He is superb at delivery lmao
Absolutely one of my favourite lines of the show.
2:06 always gets me
That burst of pure built up anger is just terrifyingly realistic. Such a shame these actors probably won't be very well known.
I’m bored of this I’m going for a Twix
He pronounced all 5 syllables in "Twix"
One of my favourite lines 🤣
I was hoping that line was in this compilation
Gonna use that at the next company meeting.
I’m going to have that quote engraved on my headstone
"Is revenge a mature response? Let me think, yes it is!"
Peter Mannion.
Now here's a politician I can get behind!
I always find it funny how he so intensely emphasizes on the F when he says "FFuck"
"The Bailiffs are coming to take away my will to live." Perfect.
They missed his best line
“Oh Terri me beauty, I like the heft of your jib. I’m going all boogy woogy downstairs.”
that was actually ollie's line while wearing a face mask of mannion
@@peterburke3944 🤦♂️
"I wish I could make redundancy at her."
If you don't know the context it is just an unusual sentence.
It is a teenth as funny without the context.
Now I want to see a prequel of Peter Mannion in the 1980's.
or 70s!
He went for a Twix when no one else would
"Is revenge a mature response? Let me think. Yes it is" amazing.
the choice of Roger Allam to play Peter was excellent casting
His voice is incredible
‘I think women are a good thing…’
Revolutionary stuff
I came here for my daily dose of Roger Allam and this did not disappoint.
Love him in everything he does.
The older i get, the more intensly i relate to peter
Roger Allam is so fucking brilliant. As Peter, he always killed me; "Dammit, I think I've just taken a picture of my feet!"
He's bloody good at trademark British dry wit and humour. I'd pay top dollar to listen to him and Stephen Fry banter back and forth.
My favourite line is when he asks his wife on their anniversary to “leave him something eggy on a tray”
My dad was friends with Armando Iannucci who wrote this when they were both in primary school in Glasgow. Take a look at my name to find out why I said this...
amaze
So Peter Mannion is a real bloke? My steam name is your dad's name
@@BarryLetts379 it was just the surname. But he's based on my dad. My dad's family were something else and they can make a real impression on people!
That read as Armando Iannuci wrote The Thick Of It when he was in primary school.
@@arleygomez465 Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he did have you met children raised in the U.K.
I once saw the actor in the bar at a theatre in London, waiting to watch 'Yerma' (Liv Tyler was in the crowd and Billie Piper was on stage, it was great for celeb spotting lol, but of course Peter Mannion was the main excitement).
He seemed very polite, quiet and shy. I think he was alone. I wish I'd gone to say hello and how much I enjoyed him in the TTOI!
"That's the trouble with the public, they're fucking horrible."
I might not vote for a politician that said that, but I'd certainly respect the hell out of him for telling the truth.
True.
TROUSERS!
I liked Peter Mannion : pretty much the only character who wasn't intimidated by Malcolm and could give as good as he got in the creative-insult stakes . Also saw through the verbal effluent that poured out of Stuart's mouth. He seemed like he genuinely wanted to be a good minister . Not perfect...but then (in this series) who is ?
It's also interesting that when Glenn resigns and shoots off at everyone, Mannion's the only one who seems to feel bad about it.
@@SimonFoston They were the old guard. Compatriots.
@@SimonFoston Yeah. He suggests going after him, doesn't he? Yet, Glenn loathes Mannion.
They're both considerably more balanced and conscientious than those around them.
Now I'm thinking about how he perjured himself at the inquiry, yet gave them the fuel to bring Tucker down. Mannion really was Aslan!
@@AndrewLuke manion isn't asian
I love it when he's got his shirt untucked and also when he's going "give me my fuckin tie!"
If Stephen Fry and Cristopher Hitchens had a hate baby.
"Don't write that down, I'm not on your sodding onion!"
I never thought I'd find an old conservative British man so relatable
The thick of it's fantastic, very good characters.
2:01😂“fuck you, your not getting in my car tonight”😂
Man this was excellent loved it when it was on
Every line worth a LOL.
Some bring tears.
Best video on RUclips
“Hello darling make me a cup of soup” Gotta love how he treats women
It's been a while since I've seen this, but I'm I'm fairly certain in context he's emphasising how inappropriate that would be to say to his wife, on their anniversary no less, due to shenanigans at the office.
"Anything to get out of Stewart's think sphincter".
Christopher Hitchens is such a talented actor
I went and double-checked upon seeing this
@@ChrizzeeB Yeah, the resemblance is uncanny.
I can't decide whether I should try and fit Peter's lines or Malcolm's lines into my daily life
How about both?
Well if you want my advice just tell everyone to fuck off and you'll probably do ok ;-)
Absolute perfection 😂
"The bailiffs are coming to take away my will to live" ... sublime
This man is twice my age yet he's a whole mood
great vid, well done you :)
if anyone wants to see more of roger allam, i'd recommend the radio comedy cabin pressure a lot!! very quotable
Inspektore super tandem ste so Mors ve obozuvam.👍👍👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Personally “do you take it up the chutney” was brilliant and a missed inclusion
Wonderful voice
"Fuck you, you're not getting in my car TONIGHT!"
Something weirdly out of context even with context.
He was brilliant in every scene.
“Some of my best friends are money grabbing wankers” all time classic
All right Terri I admit it I’m in love with you nOW FUCK OFF BACK TO YOUR OFFICE AND ORGANIZE THE WEDDING
lmao this show is killing me
"I am..... A Minister"
I can relate in so many ways
"Is revenge a mature response? Let me think...YES it is!"
This man was born to play Hitchens

@@WatchingRogerAllam Thanks!
Peter Onion
Lewis Prothero before he took up his news show
Lewis Prothero didn't have a news show. He was a concentration camp commandant turned voice actor pretending to be a computer.
You mean commander
David Mitchell in fifteen years' time.
Has more integrity than most Tories
How can you not include the geese line?
Definitely my favorite character of the series after Malcolm
"Alright Terri, I admit it, I'm in love with you, now fuck off back to your office and organize the wedding."
“I say black instead of coloured, I think women are a good thing, I’ve no problem with gays. Most of them are very well turned out!” 😂
I LOVE HIMMMM lmaooo
“wrong-issimo” 😂
Roger Allam is such a great actor... Like him as Inspector Thursday ( inspired name) in endeavour such a range of characters... Great in Thick of it too.....
If Fred Thursday was an MP lol this is how he would act
Sorry about the puffin
2:07 Fred Thursday seems a bit more sweary than I remember when he was in Endeavour.
Peter "two holidays" Mannion
"Oh, my giddy fuck"
@1:13 What is this episode called? I've never seen this and I can't find it anywhere! ☹ I've watched all the other episodes!
The Rise of the Nutters (Jan 2007 special). It's some of the best Peter. Look how much neater his hair is when he's opposition.
See also this video in which Peter is not allowed to dress himself: ruclips.net/video/zmpoJRCpjxo/видео.html
Think Sphincter 🤪
I actually want a twix now.
He says the word *Fuck* so brilliantly.
I wouldn't mind another Conservative prime minister if it were Peter Mannion.
Bastard got me back on my Twix addiction
I think Peter might be my second favorite character on the show.
I’ve taken a picture of my feet!
Best part of the show 😂
“I feel like I’ve had a health scare”
'This is the problem with the public, they're fucking horrible' saves you reading Dickens.
someone needs to edit some of these into a sarah and duck episode.
Oh great the triple, I'm a nurse killer, a banker and now I'm raising fucking TAXES!
T R O U S E R S
Is this show still going? I couldn't imagine this show being made today
No, but basically because reality has become too ridiculous to satirise. Armando Iannucci, the show's creator, has moved on to other (bigger?) things, including the excellent satire of the Soviet Union 'The Death of Stalin'.
2:02 😂😂😂
My spirit mammal x
Is it like if Christopher Hitchens went into politics?
the neocon era Hitchens more so.
"Alright Terri, I admit it. I'm in love with you, now FUCK OFF back to your office and organize the wedding."
2:11 God that fucking kills me every time.
V for vendetta:
I'll tell you what I think, I wish Id be there, ONE TIME! face to face!
Good evening Commander Prothero.

I really like Peter Mannion. He’d never be Prime Minister he’s too genuine🤣
