Look very carefully at this man. Don’t be scared – well, do, actually. He’s terrifying. His name is Malcolm Tucker, and he is the funniest sitcom character that has ever walked this earth.
If you’re based in the US, you may have heard of ‘Veep’, the HBO show written by Armando Ianucci. Well know this: that show has a lot borrowed from its older, wiser UK relative ‘The Thick of It’, which is about the machinations of political power in the UK. But one thing that it doesn’t have is a Malcolm Tucker character.
