updating Jamie\'s info — please let The Missing Do Sa C files be canon ;)


Jamie runs the testosterone-charged Number 10 press office and as Malcolm's unofficial second-in-command he also helps him with his enforcer duties. He came into conflict with Malcolm during the specials, and disappeared as of series three. [[WildMassGuessing He may have been sacked, or he may simply be hiding out of sight in Malcolm's pantry]].

-> "She's a great PA isn't she, Sam? Always remembers the little people" '''- Malcolm Tucker'''

Malcolm's PA and one true confidant. He is genuinely fond of her, and the feeling is mutual: she is the only character who really understands him and doesn't view him as a complete bastard. When [[spoiler: Malcolm gets fired]] in series 3 Sam is actually crying while everyone else is celebrating, and Malcolm comes running in to comfort her.
