The Coopers also confirmed the news at a screening of new episodes at the BFI in London tonight, saying the comedy had come to a natural end.

The news comes six months after This Country star Michael Sleggs died at the age of 33.  The comedy is set to pay tribute to him in the forthcoming final season.

This Country launched in 2017 and the following year scooped a Bafta and a Royal Television Academy award.
