A spin off from cult TV series The Thick Of It (which I've never seen), In the Loop sees the British Minister of International Development, Simon Foster, have a slip of the tongue during an interview, inadvertantly pushing us closer to war. The PM's Director of Communications is quite upset about it (and brilliantly played by a magnificently sweary Peter Capaldi) and ships Foster and his assistant off to Washington DC where they attempt to sit on the fence as best they can and ride out the impending storm.
Very funny.
