Erandathie's been watching The Thick of It so a rewatch of In The Loop (and my first since watching the tv series myself) seemed in order. It definitely loses a yard when compared to the show, although it gains some of that back via the expansion to the US government, and while the changing around so that many of the actors are playing slightly different - and renamed - versions of their characters from the show may be necessary to avoid all kinds of distortion or retcon type issues given how the show ended, it also takes away some of the joy and built-up depth (and is blurred anyway by retaining Malcolm - not to mention his offside Jamie).
