That's a shame. I know it doesn't make any difference in the show's continuity but half of the joy of reading these reviews has been the coverage of the show's development and the factors that contributed, so having In The Loop covered between the specials and series 3 makes sense. Still, I'm not complaining - these…

Concurred 1000% about the use of widescreen in that film. Here in the UK we had a theatrical release of the new remastered version a couple of weeks ago - watching it on a huge screen, drinking in every detail of the frame, seeing how expansive it was… Absolutely incredible.
