Malcolm Tucker fans, we would like to alert you to the following tweet…


I have good news later for those asking for Malcolm Tucker on Brexit…. — Armando Iannucci (@Aiannucci) October 10, 2017

While there’s not exactly a huge amount of information there, it’s hard to imagine how this could mean anything other than a return for Peter Capaldi’s acerbic, sweary spin-doctor from Iannucci’s cult political comedy series The Thick of It (even if the Doctor Who star hasn’t quite finished his tenure in the F-word-free zone that is the Tardis).

And the mind boggles at the thought of Tucker on Brexit. You can almost feel the bile, vitriol and devastating one-liners building up and spewing forth.

Whatever this is (and here’s an idea), it sounds like it’s going to be fun…
