Malcolm Tucker
Malcolm Tucker is the protagonist/antihero of the BBC political satire, ''The Thick of It'', portrayed by Peter Capaldi. His role is Director of Communications for the Government of the United Kingdom. Tucker was originally a secondary character, with Chris Langham's Hugh Abbott as the protagonist being watched over by Tucker, but after Langham was fired from the series the show focused more on the character of Tucker and his dealings with the inept Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship (DoSaC), originally the Department of Social Affairs (DSA) in series 1 and 2. He is one of four characters from the series to appear in the film ''In the Loop''.
==Background and personal life==
Other than the very obvious fact that he is Scottish and the character traits he exhibits during the series, little is known about Malcolm Tucker's background or personal life.
The nature of Tucker's home life is ambiguous and is somewhat contradictory through the course of the series - in the special episode ''Spinners and Losers'' he is revealed to have a niece; during a rant in front of Ollie in series 4, and speaking of himself in third person, he explicitly states that he has no children (nor friends for that matter), and in series 3 he is shown spending his 50th birthday alone in his office. However, at other times, there are hints that he has a family - he wears a ring on his wedding finger, there are children's drawings on the walls of his office (which could be his niece's), and when being pursued by photographers after his forced resignation, a young boy is briefly seen looking out of the window of Tucker's home (though he could be a possible nephew of Malcolm's). His character profile on The British Comedy Guide says that he has split up from his partner.〔https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1LDJZ_enGB500GB504&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=the+thick+of+it+series+4&start=30〕 The reasons for his deep personal animosity towards journalist Simon Hewitt, mostly left open to speculation in the final cut, are explained to Ollie by Terri in one of the deleted scenes: Hewitt's current girlfriend, BBC health correspondent Kelly Grogan, had been Malcolm's girlfriend until about three months earlier.
Before the start of the series he forced his predecessor Steve Fleming (David Haig) to resign by telling the press that he was resigning before even asking him, thereby leaving him no choice. Tucker took his place as Director of Communications for Number 10. No mention is made of his professional background before taking this position.
