Hit BBC comedies Detectorists and Bad Education are returning for special one-off episodes. It comes as the broadcaster pledged to invest an extra £10 million into the genre over the next two years.
It says it will double the number of half-hour pilot episodes it makes. Meanwhile popular comedy shows Jerk, The Cleaner and Guilt have all been given further series.
Bad Education is returning for a 10-year anniversary episode, with Jack Whitehall reprising his role as teacher Alfie Wickers. The show, which ran from 2012 to 2014, will also be rebooted with a new cast for a six-part series that will see two former students, Stephen and Mitchell, on the other side of the desk as newly qualified teachers.
