what do you think actually happened to jamie post-spinners and losers anyway
#divorce is so beautiful#but really. he and malcolm are clearly as ubiquitous as a pair and even if one is in the role of 'attack dog' there's a mutuality#that isn't present in any other relationship malcolm has with anyone else ever. so the fact that he disappears totally after the specials#and is only referenced once five years later at the goolding inquiry makes the fallout seem even more serious. You are a pint pot judas#<- which by the way. malcolm tucker you are not christ

I finally finished the Goolding inquiry! Here are my thoughts on everyone's testimonies!
Stewart Pearson: 3/10. This man has never said anything clearly in his entire life and is not about to start.
Fergus Williams: 3/10. Skin flakes???? Who elected this man????
Phil Smith: 2/10. He's being himself. Sadly. Why the fuck would you say that about Mr Tickel.
Emma Messinger: 3/10. Not dreadful conducting herself but again, what the fuck.
Adam Kenyon: 2/10. Same as above but I feel bad for Emma and him having to deal with Phil.
Terri Coverly: 2/10. No.
Nicola Murray: 6/10. She didn't do anything terrible. 50/50 on whether or not I like her hair.
Robyn Murdoch: 10/10. Absolute queen. She speaks nothing but truth.
Ollie Reeder: 3/10. He squirmed! He was like one of those hydraulic press videos! Just fucking crumpled.
Glenn Cullen: 7/10. Hilarious stuff. I'm always one for mocking Ollie a bit and blatantly lying is always funny.
Malcolm Tucker: Initially, 10/10. Funny and I find it very compelling. Goes downhill after his second appearance so it drops to a 5/10. His final appearance was a sight to behold. Did it succeed? Nah, not really. But it was enjoyable enough to bump him up to a 7/10. RIP king 😔

coming into ttoi fandom five years after s4 aired makes me feel like a historian trying to learn about some traumatic cultural event through primary sources and survivor interviews
me: dear [survivor’s name], thank you for having me. now, you were steeped in the ‘the thick of it’ fandom long before 2012, weren’t you?
survivor: yes, i came to it back in the days of the specials ... when we still had jamie. he was the first to go, but none of us knew what that meant at the time. there was still nicola, after all; we all loved nicola.
me: nicola murray, a new addition in series three. she was quite popular, wasn’t she? she seemed on quite a good trajectory at the end of the 2009 series. how did you feel about her fate in 2012?
survivor: oh, dear god, it was horrible. just horrible. but it wasn’t the most horrible thing that happened in 2012 ...
me: no. there was also the goolding inquiry, wasn’t there? would you tell me more about that?
survivor: yes--yes. the goolding inquiry. oh god-- *bursts into tears*
me: *hands over a tissue* it’s okay. it’s all right. take all the time you need.

How Are You Ruined?
Ruined By Fear
You live on the edge of your seat, but it is not a good thing. You’re constantly looking over your shoulder, unsure of what will hurt you next. You have been hurt so much, but you refuse to adapt to your pain. Instead, you avoid what you cannot control. You are so afraid of making a mistake, of being brought closer to your doom. But, despite this, you cannot articulate what you fear. You are just afraid. Only afraid. And you will be afraid until you are brought to what you fear.

I'm watching the finale of the thick of it for the first time and the goolding inquiry is stressing me out so much bc malcolm is being dragged through the dirt and I know technically he was wrong but he wasn't bc I said so.
he can do no wrong and these people are just mean.
this is like when they made him resign all over again I was devastated.
malcolm tucker deserves the world I love him so much.

the thing about a version of the goolding inquiry where they interrogate malcolm on the thorax email + all the rest of the 120 days of sodom ass shit he sent to ollie clearly is that i could not write that. i cant even imagine how he would react. i would only trust that with the writers and actors. and they didnt put that in there. so.

'look, ollie, i know you're dead brainy. [...] but what i need is political intelligence' 'where's all this education, where does it go when it comes to this stuff?' 'feet off the furniture, you oxbridge twat, you're not on a punt now' i ❤️ when malcolm uses ollie's specific kind of insufferable cleverness against him
#and when oxbridge students get ripped on in general. Sorry#but for real. at the goolding inquiry where ollie's like Yes malcolm tucker doesn't suffer fools gladly. Or clever people#because it isn't the same as malcolm's learned-by-blood and instinctive political intelligence and it never will be#'raised by wolves' not on some quad. but the terrible thing is that that stops mattering.... the after-truth world wants softcore and#algorithms and a phd student who's never been a real person to begin with can give it to them#the thick of it
