'The Thick Of It: Coalition' new trailer video - watch

A video trailer has been unveiled for the new series of The Thick Of It.

The fourth series of Armando Iannucci's political satire returns this autumn on BBC Two.



Set to 'Mind Heist' from Hans Zimmer's Inception score, the trailer sees Peter Mannion (Roger Allam) struggling with the coalition government while Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi) and Nicola Murray (Rebecca Front) start life in the wasteland of opposition.

The first episode of the run will focus on the new coalition partners, while the second will centre on Murray's party outside government.

Allam has claimed that his coalition government is "less imaginatively sweary" than Tucker's was in previous years.

The fourth series of the show begins its seven-episode run on September 8.
