Motherfucker, I've been sitting on this tryhing to find a better alternate or clumsy edit to make the subs not read 'do you know what it�s like to clean up your own mother�s yes?'

It's the one moment of that first series that really stands out in my memory more than any other, Thick of It at its peak, that mix of real tragedy & the politicians wishing they were anywhere else but dealing with a member of the public.

Away from Gangtags, saw this & chuckled

It really is. I'm going to gently caress the game up and see if In The Loop counts. I'd add to the above with Steve Coogan trying to get his wall fixed in the middle of international crises, but instead:

'don't ever loving call me English again'

'this loving fax machine right here'

From a few pages back, but mr �just stop oil� there once bollocked me for working from home due to snow and put in an email �there is a 4x4 for sale less than 1 mile from your home for �6,200 which is not an unreasonable amount to pay for a second car.� They were paying me, I think, �16k at the time. I used to post a lot about working for a bunch of guys who just had no concept of people not having much money (�What do you mean you can�t pick up this �300 tab? Just put it on your expenses!�) and he was one of the worst.

I should get back to Elden Ring. I got to the horrible goopy red place and both the environment and baddies were so viscerally unpleasant I just kinda gave up

If i recall he said he had been abused as a child, and was �researching� or something as part of writing a psychiatrist sitcom with Paul Whitehouse. Whitehouse later said in court that this was definitely not a part of their sitcom writing process

Flayer: Sep 13, 2003; by Fluffdaddy; Buglord

Reading the Langham wiki page (because I was unaware of his conviction) and it seems that Langham made initial contact with the police himself because he was "concerned" about spam emails he was getting about child porn and that the child porn he was convicted of downloading was paid for in 1999 (6 years before his arrest). Sounds like he was only caught because he is just as stupid in real life as the character he played.

Wasn't it for Help, the sitcom with him and Paul Whitehouse as counsellor / various oddball client characters?

I only ever caught one episode of that on a plane in 2003 and could never track it down afterwards. (probably for that exact reason) I remember the episode did a startling about-face halfway through from slightly-wacky to deeply-affecting. Whitehouse can act, I just hope the Depp movie paid him loads so he never again has to.
