SPOILER ALERT: This weekly blog is for those who are watching The Thick of It series four. Don't read on if you haven't seen episode one.

We're trying something different with our weekly blog for The Thick of It this time around. Judging by most people's conversations about the show, the joy is in reliving the most delicious lines and savouring them in all their vicious, sweary, bullying glory. (Malcolm might not be back until next week, but I loved "digitard" as an insult).

So here's our pick of the week. Add your own below, along with your take on the Thick of It's new set of incompetent government ministers and backstabbing, useless advisors.

Lines of the week

• Mannion to his wife: "Sorry darling, I have to go – I think the bailiffs are coming to take away my will to live."

• Phil to Fergus and Adam: "You're basically a couple of homeless guys we invited to Christmas dinner. Don't bitch if we don't let you carve the turkey."

• Mannion on Fergus: "He's Lewis, I'm Morse."

• Fergus to Terri: "I want you to know you can't win, Nurse Ratched, because this is my moment. You like musicals? Well this is Tonight from West Side Story, yeah, and I'm going to bring the bloody house down, so you can't Rain On My Parade, Funny Girl. Why don't you go and have a lie down and a Hobnob while we run the fucking country?

• Terri on Emma: "Ever the charmless minor royal."

• Stewart to Emma, Adam and Phil: "The core question here is whether we can engender the same sense of pandemographic communality we had in the war, but furrowed into the digital revolution."

• Terri to Glenn: "You look like a week-old party balloon. I just don't want you ending up as one of those 'before he turned the gun on himself' guys."

• Mannion on Terri: "She's not on the fucking list! Christ Fergus, we both know she's a fart in a frock, and I want to waft her out of here."

• Fergus on Glenn: "Always on the horizon – like an Antony Gormley statue.

• Mannion on the press: "Run those fuckers over. Fifty pounds for every one you maim."
