Simon Hewitt?

He's a fat guy with a dick the size of a bookie's biro.

Can you imagine sitting around a table with other writers getting paid to come up with lines like that all day? Probably in a pub with a bookies next door.

The writers clearly liked some characters more than others.

I have been watching it back on iPlayer. It is still good, but the quality of the dialogue does take a hit after the specials. The first six episodes, especially with the Hugh and Glenn dynamic, are when it is at its best and most subtle. Mannion is a good addition, though.

I binged the whole thing this weekend.  Agree about Hugh and Glenn, superb writing and acting. Glenn's look at Hugh at the enquiry when he starts talking about his sons performance in the school play is brilliant.

Edit - Series 3 is just the Malcolm Tucker Show and to see how many swears they can fit into each episode (although I think the Eastbourne episode is brilliant).  Series 4 picks up again with the back and forth episodes, the addition of Adam and Fergus was a good idea IMO.
