The dead donkey is still being dropped... this second series seems a lot more adventurous than the first, and we meet more one-off characters, such as the hilarious drunk minister Nicholas Waugh, George's delinquent daughter Deborah (a running gag), a pair of Russian journalists out to woo Alex, and a televangelist who does a little unorthodox preaching in Sally's direction. The best episode has to be Drunk Minister, for sheer nerve, chaos and the best punchline in the show's whole eight years (sorry, you'll just have to buy the DVD to find out what it is!).This is also the first appearance of the (in)appropriately named Joy - classic line: Gus: "Are you going anywhere near the kettle, Joy?"
Joy: "If you want a cup of coffee, Gus, why don't you just ask?"
Gus: "Well, then, can I have a cup of coffee?"
Joy: "No..." (Well, it works better on the screen...) The series itself is much much funnier than the first; however the bonus features are still unbelievably tedious, wading through a lot of smug actors and writers talking about how bad the Tories were, eight years after they left office. Change the record for series 3, guys!

...Henry's accident involving Sally's dog, Dido? How about Sally getting dunked in a gunk tank on children's TV? And, of course this is the season when Sally brings her dead mothers ashes into work with her, then finding religion later.
Also this season; Gay rights protesters run amok in the studio, just before the show goes live on air. Poor George's marriage hits the rocks. Gus considers job cuts. Who will be the unlucky ones? Dave has to deliver a video tape to Sir Royston, but it is stolen.The Gulf Report
