    This new guide didn't get off to the best start, but I've spent and hour or so renumbering episodes and putting them in the right series. I've also renamed the episodes to avoid confusion (I was certanily getting confused).

    'Left-over' episodes have been 'recycled' into episodes for the forthcoming third series, this is why a third series is listed under Episodes. When the third series starts, these can easily be renamed and renumbered as appropriate.

    Anybody who wishes to contribute to the guide is welcome to do so: corrections, quotes, notes, trivia, crew, guests - anything, please feel free.

    I just discovered this show when TiVo suggested it to me. I like it so far and I've only seen the first episode.
    Good work getting the guide in order. I will be rating some eps and will contribute if I think of anything.

    I suggest, and have edited to this effect, the six normal episodes become "Series 1", as the DVD is titled, and be named "Episode One" etc, with "Rise of the Nutters" and "Spinners and Losers" as specials at the beginning of "Series 2"...

    So, who's the moderator of contributions for Thick?

    Wouldn't it be more sensible to put the two specials at the end of Series 1 (by which I mean the first six episodes)?

    Given the likelihood that Chris Langham's Hugh Abbot will not return for the third series, it seems sensible that Ianucci and co. will wrap his character up in the first episode so as to not have to continually assure us of his off-screen presence, as they did with numerous phone calls and references in the two specials.

    The presence of those references then surely attaches the specials more firmly to the "Hugh Abbot series" than it does the new one.

    The episode guide is still completely wrong. In series two you've got 3 episodes from series one, and the specials. The specials weren't a series and so should be tacked on to the end of the season one as someone else suggested. What is now called season 3 should be renamed season 2 as that is what its officially known as.
