[edit] wtf d00d

Why is the first paragraph of this article written in the past tense with NO LINKAGE re: whether the pilot has in fact not been picked up, something which would then necessitate the discussion of the pilot in the past tense. Where are all the AD fans on this one? For shame. Wangoed 16:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

It was changed this morning by User:69.142.96.224. If it's been cancelled, then there really ought to be a citation. I've reverted it for the time being. Bob talk 16:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure it's actually true that this show hasn't been picked up. ABC has released its fall schedule and this show doesn't appear on it. With a quick search I turned up [1], but there's probably a better link out there somewhere. I'm not sure what to do with the article so I'll let someone else do it, but is this article even worth having now? I guess it's still possible that it could be picked up at a later time, but it seems unlikely. (Or maybe shows that aren't picked up are still notable? I honestly don't know.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chickencha (talkcontribs)
I stumbled across a good story saying it wasn't picked up and not likely to be (The SF Chronicle story now in the references). This article should be merged back into the article on the original series. 68.36.163.22 06:43, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mockumentary?

As the characters of The Thick of It never actually address the camera and there doesn't seem to be any hint that it is a mockumentary other than the style of camera movements i'm not sure if it should be considered as such Sean 20:30, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. It's commonly referred to as such in media because of the "wobbly camera" style of filming but AFAIK it's never been referred to by the producers as a mockumentary. I'll have a listen to the DVD commentaries at some point. Brad 13:12, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
