The Thick of It2005

Oliver Reeder:
[on the phone] Angela.

Angela Heaney:
Ollie! How are you?

Oliver Reeder:
I'm Tickety Fockety Boo, thank you very much!

Angela Heaney:
Sorry?

Oliver Reeder:
Tickety Fockety Boo. Just something Ben said.

Angela Heaney:
You and Ben Swain big buds, then?

Oliver Reeder:
Well, you know... Could you hang on just a second? [goes to the lavatory] Things are just a little bit fluid here, and Glenn's not really a big Ben fan. Ben Swain, obviously, not the clock. Well, it's not the clock, it's the bell that's called Big Ben.

Angela Heaney:
So, go on, tell me, who else is running?

Oliver Reeder:
Well, no one. No one's gonna stand against Tom, surely he's going to be unnopposed. They'll be re-branding him as we speak, I would imagine. New hair, Ted Baker teeth, all the modern trappings of your political leader...

Angela Heaney:
Ollie! Are you pissing?

Oliver Reeder:
Ah, no, that's the flush of the automatic urinals in the gentelman's lavatory.

Angela Heaney:
I don't wanna talk to you while you're holding your penis.

Oliver Reeder:
Well, that's not what you used to say, Angela.

Angela Heaney:
Yes it is.

Oliver Reeder:
No well, actually that's precicely what you used to say.

Angela Heaney:
We're hearing that someone has booked in to do a Today programm in the morning to announce they're standing.

Oliver Reeder:
Oh?

Angela Heaney:
You and Big Ben out of the loop on that one?

Oliver Reeder:
Ah, no, no, no... That's... Not Geoff Holhurst?

Angela Heaney:
Geoff?
