Fans flocked to the comments begging Channel 4 bosses to give the writer everything he needs to keep working on the sitcom.
One person exclaimed: "May all your requests be approved because we need series three!!"
Another added: "For f**k sake! These are all perfectly reasonable requests. Someone give Jack Rooke whatever he wants! I need series 3 in my eyeballs stat!"
Queer writer and producer Jason Reid chimed in: "Get em told love x"
According to the BCG's exclusive, season three is already underway, with Jim Archer returning as the director.
