[edit] Number of new episodes commissioned?

Unless I'm misunderstanding, it says 6 new episodes have been commissioned at the start of the article, and 10 at the end; does anyone know the correct info, or is it referring to 2 different things? --hooverbag 15:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Fixed - split the difference and made it eight episodes :). Actually that's what the BBC comedy web site now says is happening.

[edit] Coming to the US?

This morning's Morning Edition says this series is coming to the USA, any detail? 68.73.199.88 13:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Writers

Armando Iannucci is not the sole writer of the show - there are several others including Jesse Armstrong and Tony Roche. Full list?Matt Leys 19:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I've added a selection of the writers most heavily involved, and a general tidy. Bob talk 19:34, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abbot

How was Hugh Abbot written out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.20.229 (talk) 03:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC) He hasn't as of yet, in the two special episodes he was 'away on vacation' and the plot focused more on Malcolm's struggle to remain influential. We'll have to wait and see if Hugh Abbot is written out next series or not.

[edit] Film

Added info on the upcoming film, could someone sort the reference out, there's just a link, no title, not sure what the craic is there. Lukeitfc (talk) 00:40, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding that. IMDb suggests it'll be released in 2009 - I'm looking forward to it already! Bob talk 10:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing it up, I really can't wait. Lukeitfc (talk) 17:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
