The script has been improvised rather than having it scripted which makes it more realistic to the actors and the audience. The program also includes strong language throughout.

Series one of The Thick of It was first broadcasted in 2005. In this series, Hugh Abbot is the new minister who follows the forced resignation of his predecessor Cliff Lawton. The episodes in this series follows his attempts to make a mark on the department with introducing some new policies following the party line which is enforced by Malcom Tucker. With many complications and mistakes in place, the minister comes close to being close to being fired on many occasions.

Episode one includes a lot of sarcasm from the characters, which also creates humour. The stupidity and the childlike acts of the characters may cause problems with the government in Britain in many ways. The shaky camera movements and the voice over the credits add many effects to the episode.
