Typically-quick 10-ep each second season orders to the controversial Lena 
Dunham dramedy and the Julia Louis-Dreyfus/Armando Inannuci satire:

And I suspect not coincidentally BBCA is airing the third season of 
Iannuci's Brit political satire "The Thick of It" on Saturday nights 
at midnight after letting it sit for three years (since it got the 
40-minute time slot BBC Britcoms traditionally got on BBCA so they'd run 
unedited, it's not cut, although what follows it at 12:40 a.m., "Katy 
Brand's Big Ass Show" (no relation to "Bobcat's Bigass Show"--this is 
one-camera sketchcom) is cut in half from its original running time so that 
they can repeat a James Bond film at the top of the hour.
 
BTW, the two Christmas specials that aired between season 2 and season 3 
have not been aired here, but I assume that there was nothing in those 
episodes that is not being explained in the third season, most notably the 
replacement of Hugh with Nicola (because Chris Langham in real life had 
brush-ins with the law).
