Chris O'Dowd, Richard Ayoade, Katherine Parkinson and Matt Berry will all return for The IT Crowd's final 40-minute episode.

Linehan first announced plans for a final IT Crowd special in December 2012, after previously confirming that the sitcom would not return for a full fifth series.

The comedy - which originally aired between 2006 and 2010 - starred O'Dowd, Ayoade and Parkinson as three staff members of the IT department at the fictional Reynholm Industries.
