Chris Addison On His New Show ‘Tall Tales & Murder’ & Why ‘Veep’ And ‘The Thick Of It’ Wouldn’t Work Today: “Our Relationship To Politics Has Fundamentally Changed”

The Emmy-winning director delved deep into his BBC-RTE comedy thriller 'Tall Tales & Murder', which Avalon is selling.

Deadline

I watch the same TV show every week and it has a 95% approval rating

in the loop (2009) - iannucci

i felt like a cheater because i never finished the thick of it (and i really should). also, peter capaldi's accent is a bit difficult for me to follow. there is astronomical amounts of cursing----and most of the americans cast in this film ended up in Veep----which imo is one of the funniest shows ever made.

maybe i'll finish the show one day and rewatch the movie. who knows

I'm still working on my "Twelve Days of Prompts" Series. You might like this one, @CodexArcene. I know I need to finish the series. We have a Twissy story ready to go for the twelfth prompt... How appropriate. For today we have a TTOI story. A bit of Malcolm Tucker and Sam Cassidy is always needed. 🥹

The Author's Note for the story explains everything post-series.

It's the end of a long day at Off The Table, and Malcolm has had just about all that he can take. He and Sam have a heart-to-heart conversation that changes everything for them.

(This is Part 11 of the Twelve Days of Prompts Series.)

I've been working away at a new project, just something to get me back into the mood to write (and work on my novels). It's called the "Twelve Days of Prompts" Series, and I've really been enjoying it. It'll be finished soon as well.

Expect a combination of random of stories for Doctor Who, Criminal Record, The Thick of It, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

While I've got the chance and I'm free, I thought I'd post this for you guys. I have a new chapter for my long story for The Hour ready to go as well, and it's also the last one. Randall and Lix deserve some peace.

Anyway, here's the conclusion to our Jamie and Malcolm story. I really enjoyed writing this whole thing.

For @youseeatortoise, especially.

Jamie has a bright idea. Which is a terrifying thing, of course.

Look at me go. I updated two stories yesterday, one for The Thick of It and one for The Hour. I've got the writing bug right now, apparently.

There's only one chapter to go for this one.

For @youseeatortoise, especially.

Things come to a head. They had to at some point, right? Malcolm and Jamie bump into each other at Number 10. There's no avoiding it anymore.

Inspired by @danielholt, and because memes live and die through replication, I brought this iconic Peter Mannion line from #TheThickOfIt up to date:
