I think that’s also Chris Langham who plays the dodgy bookie in the ‘Sad Ken’ episode (‘Parade’). I don’t recall having seen it broadcast for a very long time (although it’s possible I might have missed it), but it is available to stream.

I wonder how much the issue with such material is about viewers potentially being offended at a glimpse of a now disgraced celebrity, and how much is down to the ethics of broadcasters possibly having to pay repeat fees to someone convicted of particularly awful crimes.

The first two series of The Thick Of It are available on iPlayer so Chris Langham presumably he isn't that much of an issue.

The level of severity of what people are convicted of and their fame/prominence is presumably a factor
