The Thick Of It's creator Armando Iannucci is set to reunite with actor Peter Capaldi, when shooting on new film The Personal History of David Copperfield begins later this year.

It was announced through Iannucci's Twitter that Capaldi - who played foul-mouthed spin doctor Malcolm Tucker through four series of The Thick of It and its spin-off film In The Loop - will be joining the director's take on the famed Charles Dickens novel.
