The BBC's self-mocking fly-on-the-wall sitcom W1A is due to return this autumn.

Journalists have just received a message from Head of Values Ian Fletcher inviting them to a screening later this month of episodes one and two of the new series.

Fletcher (never seen in the same room as actor Hugh Bonneville) says: "Believe it or not we have once again allowed cameras back into New Broadcasting House to record some of the huge opportunities we face day to day in the Corporation's mission to either Educate, Inform and in extreme circumstances Entertain."*

W1A is expected to return to the BBC screens in September.
