COUPLING OR THE OFFICE?: The Thick of It is a British television show about the inner workings of a fictitional UK government office called the Department of Social Affairs. The show has won some awards.

It was recently announced that The Thick of It will be developed for American television, with Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz as executive producer. Arrested writer Richard Day will be the writer of the new show. Christopher Guest will direct the pilot. The American version will focus upon a low-powered member of Congress.

IMDB is vague about when to expect the new series, but a recent WSJ article gave me the distinct impression that it is coming soon.
