Full series for Graham Linehan and Adam Buxton comedy

Graham Linehan and Adam Buxton comedy The Cloud has been picked up for a full series.

Channel 4 ordered a pilot episode of the sitcom, set in a data hub floating in space, back in February.

But now Radio Times reports that the test episode – which starred Aisling Bea and Jamie Demetriou – went so well that the broadcaster has opted for a full series.

Channel 4 says there will be ‘changes’ from the pilot, but did not elaborate.

The original idea revolved around the hapless crew of Cloud Station 13, protect the vast amounts of information acquired by humanity – selfies, cat pictures and porn, mainly.
