Sir Humphrey Appleby or Malcolm Tucker?

For the fans of British political satire. Which manipulating puppetmaster do you prefer? Does Appleby's reserved manipulation and obfuscation tickle your fancy, or do Tucker's foul-mouthed piercing verbal assaults keep you more entertained?

I have no idea what this about.

Oh dear.

Sir Humphrey Appleby is from Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphrey_Appleby

Malcolm Tucker is from The Thick Of It. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thick_of_It

I saw "Malcolm" in this forum and thought it must be about Star Trek: Enterprise.

Did I just pass a test?

I don't know these fellas.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. We are going to have to remedy this.

Let's start with Malcolm Tucker.

Here's one of my favourite Tucker moments:


You can also watch the Thick of It on YouTube. Here's part one of the first episode:


Next up, Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Here's a great Humphrey moment:


You can also watch Yes Minister on YouTube. Here's part one of the first episode:

Oh, and this image perfectly captures why I voted for Malcolm Tucker, despite my love for Sir Humphrey.

Malcolm all the way. That choice wasn't difficult difficult lemon difficult at all

I'm not so sure. I haven't seen any Yes Minister for many, many years. I would like to see Tucker without the shock value of his swearing. Take that away and I'm unsure what he would be.

I voted for the underdog.

Did you watch the videos?

Malcom knows how to deal with a woman who has cleaned up her mothers piss.

Tucker! The thick of it is amazing .
