The Guaridan are saying (free reg required) that Armando Iannucci will make another one hour special of The Thick Of It, due to air in the summer.
I’m a huge fan of the show and loved the Christmas special shown in early January. I had been expecting a new, full season, however and am a little disappointed to see it only return for another once-off. I know the Christmas special didn’t perform particularly well, although it was on BBC4, and in this day and age probably isn’t interesting to a lot of people.
Hopefully more will follow it, however, perhaps if/when the situation with actor Chris Langham is resolved.
While a little bit let down I’m glad to see this great show get more air time, and I’m equally consoled by the fact that Iannucci is working on a US port with the man behind Arrested Development, Mitch Hurwitz.
