@JeremyCorbyn’s In The Thick of It moment: not knowing pop culture

There is an hilarious skit in The Thick of It where the minister discovers that an actor was the member of the focus group he was relying on for the best views of normal voters. He knew she was an actor because the minister saw her on East Enders. He saw her in the 40 minutes video he gets every week summarising developments in the soapies. He gets that video so he can have conversations with normal people. The actor was bought into the focus group to make up the numbers. I cannot find the actual clip.
