BBC America's New Series Nets 2 Baftas


The Thick of It, BBC America's critically-acclaimed political satire, premiering Friday May 12, has won two Baftas (UK equivalent to the Emmys). Presented in London The Thick of It won Best Sitcom - beating out Ricky Gervais' Extras - and Best Comedy Performance for Chris Langham (who plays the hapless government minister Hugh Abbott and is seen, above, right).
