Put the items in your preferred order.
The Thick of It
Armando Iannucci's brutally funny satire about the chaos inside Whitehall. Still the gold standard for political comedy, and probably uncomfortably accurate.
Yes Minister
Jim Hacker versus Sir Humphrey in a battle of wits that somehow still feels current. Reportedly Margaret Thatcher's favourite, which says it all.

House of Cards (original)
Ian Richardson's chilling Tory chief whip plotting his way to the top. 'You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment' never gets old.

Have I Got News For You
Three decades of Hislop, Merton and a rotating cast mocking the week's political nonsense. A Friday night ritual for many households.

Spitting Image
The iconic puppet show that skewered politicians without mercy in the 80s and came roaring back in 2020. Nobody escapes the rubber treatment.
