-->'''Jamie:''' Off the record, union Neanderthals with brains the size of children's bogies couldn't take the heat of Hugh Abbott's ring-stinging, shit-hot public sector reforms, but he's flying back like Creator/HarrisonFord with a big whip in one hand and a skinny latte in the other and he's going to whip six shades of shit out of them and save the world.

* Glenn's meltdown in 4.07 is this crossed with a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome as he roasts Fergus, Adam, Peter, Phil, Emma and Terri. And just when you think it can't get any better, he leaves with this:

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


In the best traditions of farce and satire, ''Series/TheThickOfIt'' relies on situations characterized by ever-aggregating absurdity, making it difficult to point to exact time codes that turn the funny UpToEleven. But there are a few unforgettable moments.

Watching these characters (most of whom are barely keeping things together at the best of times) lose control of absolutely everything is just incredibly darkly hilarious.
