This ain't The Thick of It

I've read the book (the UK one and the one adapted for American readers) and this mini-series is quite a worthy adaptation. It's hard to believe I saw it all those years ago, and it's a fascinating look into British politics without the gratuitious swearing of The Thick of It.
