Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 2 Paid Members Posted September 2 Which channel will it be on? That could be a big indication of how it is. It also feels a lot like they really want another series of The Thick Of It but have neither the money or the access to the team that did the original, so they're hoping this will be a semi adequate replacement.

Paid Members gmoney Posted September 2 Paid Members Posted September 2 (edited) Channel 4. The Thick of It was made on a shoestring, by the way. They took the tiny amount they were given for a pilot and made three episodes. Edited September 2 by gmoney Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 2 Paid Members Posted September 2 I can't imagine Peter Capaldi or Armando Iannucci are as affordable now as they were then, though. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 2 Moderators Posted September 2 (edited) Probably as or more affordable as Steven Moffat and Rafe Spall. I'd be willing to give that a go. I don't think I'd be shocked if it ends up being decent. If it's really focusing on the civil service workers I think there's a decent vein to mine there. Edited September 2 by Chest Rockwell Quote

Paid Members gmoney Posted September 3 Paid Members Posted September 3 Guys, I admire your optimism for a Steven Moffatt comedy in 2026. Could be as funny as Chalk or Coupling! Quote

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 3 Paid Members Posted September 3 I thought Coupling was great, and not just because of Sarah Alexander and Gina Bellman. Hopefully it doesn't disappear up its own self importance like the later episodes of Sherlock did. Quote

Yeah Coupling was great fun, the last series was patchy stuff with a casting change which always sucks, but it was a really fun show. Must give it a rewatch again. Quote
