The Thick Of It

Richard, Peter and others in “Series 3, Episode 5”

(Richard is taking another call on his show.)

James Henderson, what's your point?

Is that Jim Henderson from Clifton?

(surprised) You two know each other?

We've met. We know each other.

JJames

(talking to Peter on the phone line) We've met! Yes, we have met. I'm surprised to hear you turning on the city boys. Um, you never found the JFU donating huge wodges of cash to your party disgusting.

Well, that's a separate issue...

JJames

(continuing) Even though everyone knows they've got links with sweatshops.

Wow!

What?

Well, that's quite an extraordinary allegation, very serious.

(still in his office) YES!

...links to sweatshops?

That should be looked into, but...

Oh, it's my birthday!

...I don't know the facts.

JJames

I've just told you the facts! Are you calling me a liar?

I can't believe my ears, did we just break a story that wasn't 'the Ipswich manager just got sacked'?
