There's a Christmas Special of Outnumbered promised, and a third series coming up in the New Year.

I suspect Virginia's difficulty in getting to catch the episodes was pretty common - I suspect there was someone in the BBC who didn't like it, because the bizarre timetabling of the shows was surely designed to put people off.

It's a brilliant show - and so in its different way was The IT Crowd (and I believe another series of that is on the way). And that got tucked away in hard to find spots, while crap like Little Britain was hyped away like mad and given the best time slots.

Any one in the UK can watch all the IT Crowd episodes from all three series on Channel 4 on demand. Unfortunately there is no equivalent where you can get Outnumbered at present, so far as I know.
