In the Loop

Peter Capaldi plays Malcolm Tucker, Downing Street’s media bruiser who intimidates journalists, civil servants and ministers alike.

Incensed by the ineptitude of one minister, Tucker accompanies him and his entourage to Washington, where, flattered and bullied by the glamour of real power, they find themselves pulled into towing the US line.

“All too plausible… The acting is superb, and the writing is relentlessly funny - vicious and delicious.”
