Award-winning comedy series The Thick of It has been commissioned for a third series, which will see the show move from BBC4 to BBC2.
Cast regulars Peter Capaldi, Chris Addison and James Smith will be joined by Rebecca Front in the new series, which will be broadcast later this year.
BBC2 controller Janice Hadlow described the show, on which new film In the Loop is based, as “one the cleverest, sharpest and funniest political comedies on television” and added that she was “delighted” it is moving BBC2.
The series was devised by Armando Iannucci, who also writes the show with Jesse Armstrong, Simon Blackwell, Sean Gray and Tony Roche.
