Synopsis:
All 22 deleted scenes (12 minutes) have been restored to the first 2007 'The Thick Of It' Special to create the first of two feature length films.
Intentions:
With the second series of 'Veep' done, I got a hankering for another dose of acidic Armando Iannucci political satire. So I got out my DVDs of the two 'The Thick Of It' 2007 Specials and immediately realised it would be cool to have all 38 minutes of deleted material added back in for ease of watching. Whenever I watch these DVDs I almost always watch the 3 deleted material compilations along with the episodes since they are of equal quality. They were clearly originally removed to meet a strict 60 minute broadcast time and not because they were less funny. So I'm cutting in all non-duplicated footage seemlessly back in to create two feature length films I'm calling 'THE THICK OF IT: FULL DISCLOSURE (PARTS ONE AND TWO)'... part two to follow soon.
Change List:
I've added back all 12 minutes from the first special (Which comprised 22 short deleted scenes). I've endeavoured to include every single second from the original broadcast and the deleted scenes, but in a couple of occasions a shot had to be taken out or a duplicate line from an alternate take had to be trimmed. Hopefully I've managed to cut all the material back into appropriate places and maintained the rapid intercutting technique of the original show. I've also tried to maintain the punchline-then-cutaway rhythm by not extending the end of scenes (When the footage could've been used that way) but instead moving the additional footage to the next cut away.
Additional Notes:
22 brief deleted scenes added back seemlessly (I hope!) throughout.
