The PR announcement is brilliant - I discovered it on LinkedIn as a job appointment

Although sadly I don’t think Siobhan is returning, guys.

I now need to watch W1A again in celebration.

No Siobhan Sharpe
No Jonathan Bailey

I'm sure it'll be good though!

All these amazing shows coming along at once I can’t cope!

Just watched ep one and thought it was dog shit

I think this shtick has worn thin for me.

I'm rewatching the other two which is probably going to make it harder to watch the new one if that's the case.

Twenty Twelve is not as funny as I remember it to be, but I know W1A has not lost any of its shine and remains a near perfect TV show. I'll enjoy revisiting that anyway.

I slightly take it back about Twenty Twelve, I’ve just watched the episode with the dull athlete being brought in to do school talks and I was cracking up throughout

Two episodes in and while I don't think it's dogshit, it has definitely lost something. Essentially it feels like an American version of Twenty Twelve that happens to star Hugh Bonneville. I was relieved when Hugh Skinner turned up, as none of the rest of the cast are particularly appealing.

I always preferred Twenty Twelve, all the characters were fantastic.

W1A also great but it was basically catchphrase comedy by the end.

I can’t quite imagine the style of humour working with Americans so I’m not wildly hopeful for this one.
