Behold my colossal geekery and sharp eye for detail!

Today I was taking screencaps from The Thick of It (which, by the way, is about as easy as trying to thread a needle when drunk), when something caught my eye. Slightly relevent to (some of) our interests.



So when I take screencaps I watch it in slow motion. Look what I spotted in Malcolm Tucker's DVD collection.



House of Cards! XD

Edited to include a pic for comparison:



I don't know what's more sad; that I'm actually rather chuffed that it's there, or that I managed to recognise the DVD box even though the picture is blurry as anything.

Very small, amusing bit of nonsense from me.

Apologies if this all meant jack to you.

LOL. I can totally see that, too!

Actually, I can see him outwardly dismissing Francis as a "posh Tory twat" but secretly taking notes.

And maybe being a little bit pissy that Francis is a Scotsman who talks with an English accent. LOL

I didn't think and should have used one of these icons.

I just watched In The Loop this past weekend and am now trying to scrape up money to but all three series of TTOI. I love Malcolm Tucker like you wouldn't believe.

I LOVE In the Loop. I was disappointed that it didn't win the Oscar. "Difficult, difficult lemon difficult" has totally become one of my sayings LOL.

And yes, I absolutely love Malcolm Tucker as well (even though I really shouldn't because he's so very like the people actually running this country...but I still love him).

*needs to hurry up with screencaps so she can make The Thick of It icons*

I have to admit part of my love of Malcolm comes from S3. I just love him and Nicola. And yes *hangs head* I ship them. I tried not to but I couldn't stop. Being a hopeless romantic is just so difficult at times. LOL

[the-arethusa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can totally see Malcolm/Nicola. I like ships with friction, so basically I could ship Malcolm with...anyone, really. LOL

Plus, he's a million times nicer to Nicola than he ever was to Hugh.

And, because you gave me virtual waffles (om nom nom) I will try to make some Malcolm/Nicola icons ;)
