Series 4

A fourth series was commissioned in March 2010. Iannucci has expressed an interest in targeting the coalition government, in particular the role of the Liberal Democrats in the next series.

In an interview with The Guardian, he stated his idea was for Peter Mannion to have become a minister "but there will be someone from the other party in the coalition in his office, so a lot of the comedy will come from that tension between duplicated ministers."[6] Work began on the scripts in March 2011.[7] Shooting for the fourth series will commence in March 2012.
