I think BBC Four were very happy with Getting On, so I'm surprised if it doesn't return (BBC Two is where the cuts are happening, BBC Four is a bit more 'safe')
Bailey has since tweeted:
update - apparently BBC still deciding re Getting On, so hold the righteous anger
This is one of the greatest sitcoms of recent years - consistently good. It is so sad and yet wrings so much laughter out of pettiness, bureucracy and awkwardness. All are great but I love Jo Brand!
Alan Davies bleating on about Whites being cancelled... but in this piece...
'It's inexplicable, as is the decision to cancel Jo Brand's Getting On.'
Talking out the top of his hat? Or backing-up the Bill Bailey claim?
I didn't really get on (geddit?) with the 2nd series of this, but it's a well-written, often funny and brilliantly acted show, so I'd be disappointed for the hardcore fans if this news were true.
Haven't heard anything about Getting On previously! What's Bill Bailey said?
From Vicki Pepperdine's Twitter:
She only went and bloody won it! And I am now allowed to say that the BBC HAVE COMMISSIONED A NEW SERIES OF GETTING ON

Thank goodness for that. This show is one of my favourite comedy dramas on at the moment.
Yayyy!
Good news. It's a great sitcom.

This show has no merits. God knows why it was nominated in the first place! AND a new series! Seriously, something wrong at BBC.

Aside from being interesting, funny, touching and clever, you're right!
I'm quite impressed by how tastefully they handle the tasteless material - stool samples, defecating in a bath, naked old ladies, anal sex... It's all very much present but kept completely off screen. Which in this day and age is quite an achievement.
All lead characters are beautifully drawn, as well.
