From the creator of Peep Show It’s 1994 and a gang of good-hearted young people set off in a Ford Transit van armed with several sacks of rice and a half-written play. Their aim is to light a beacon of peace across the Balkans and, very probably, stop the war. Andrew would love to stop the war. But what he’d also love to do – perhaps even more than stop the war – is sleep with Penny. Does Penny like him though? Or does she love Simon, Andrew’s rival, an irritatingly authentic Geordie poet? Or Shannon, the fierce, inspiring American leader of the troupe? And how will this all play out in a war-zone where all the rules have been abandoned?

Well done! You did it. You worked hard and got into a great university. Now the real work begins. The work of finding out who you really are, and getting that person totally wasted! I, Oregon M. Shawcross, am here to navigate you through your first brilliant year. As a fellow fresher, I will draw on my own personal experiences, and those of my housemates, to answer all your questions and concerns. What are the appropriate boundaries in teacher/student relationships? Should I pursue my passions - even if there is an age gap? Should I listen to my friends - even when I know they are just jealous? Where can I purchase a secure lock for a regular ceramic butter dish? My aim for this student guide is simple: to change your life, and in the process save humanity from the thoughtless course it is bent on pursuing. My humble hope is that this little book will be a combination of the best novel you have ever read, the wisest old woman you might ever talk to, the most delicious meal you will ever eat and the hottest guy you could ever bang! Peace and love to everyone Oregon x

The collected scripts of the unique, slightly strange, often weird, but always hilarious award-winning sitcom Peep Show. Meet Mark and Jeremy: two very ordinary weirdos. Mark, a middle-aged man trapped in a twentysomething's body, is the sensible one--a loan manager with seven GCSEs ("back when a GCSE actually meant something") and an unhealthy obsession with World War II. His flatmate, Jeremy, is a grade-A work-shy freeloader with sketchy fruebds. He dreams of being a world-class musician but can't seem to get out of bed in the morning. They hate themselves, each other, and the world. This is their story. Uniquely filmed--shot from the characters' point of view and edited so the viewer hears their unspoken thoughts, as well as the dialogue between them--Peep Show has attracted both a cult following and critical acclaim. Now, Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, the creators of the show, have pulled together and annotated the scripts of all five series and written hilarious extra material to take us even deeper into the minds of our socially inept and wonderfully weird heroes and their slightly strange friends. A perfect example of British comedy writing at its very best, this book is the perfect present for quirky comedy fans everywhere.

Season 1 - The Complete Scripts

'The Thick of It' is a satire on the inner workings of modern politics. This is a collection of scripts and extras for fans of this award-winning show. The Thick of It is one of the funniest and most biting TV comedies around today - a modern-day Yes, Minister for New Labour. A satire on the inner workings of modern politics, it's brim-full of spin-doctoring, back-stabbing, and policy-making on the hoof. And, according to insiders, it's frighteningly close to the truth. This exclusive collection of razor-sharp scripts and extras is a treat for fans of this award-winning show.

The Thick of it

'It's the kind of f***-up that would normally have Malcolm Tucker, Number 10's Communications Director, the master of spin and the "Matrix" spitting blood ... No, the guilty party in this instance is none other than Tucker himself. The man who likes to keep an iron grip on every news item in the media and every policy announcement that comes out of the government, has only gone and LEFT A CONFIDENTIAL FILE ON A TRAIN: The DoSAC Files.' Based around the idea that King of Spin Malcolm Tucker has lost a confidential and highly-damaging file on a train, this book is a collection of highly sensitive documents: personnel files, policy drafts, letters and emails, transcripts of phone calls, election campaign documents and top secret papers on the government's media strategy for wars and recessions. There are also more personal documents such as the early drafts of Tucker's diary, in no legal condition for publication. It's explosive stuff, which could end careers on both sides, including Tucker's own... From the team behind the award-winning and phenomenally successful The Thick Of It, and the Oscar-nominated In The Loop, comes the official tie-in book, The DoSAC Files. Written by the show's creator Armando Iannucci along with his co-writers Jesse Armstrong, Tony Roche, Simon Blackwell and swearing consultant Ian Martin, The DoSAC Files looks set to be the political satire event of the year.
