"I am thrilled to be allowed to Break the News again with my fantastic team of writers and performers . It's wonderful that there is so much comedy to be found in the world's current terrifying doom spiral . These are uncertain times, but I have my money on Angela Merkel to win the German election - don't let me down Angela, you are like my Dot in EastEnders . Theresa May - hang in there, I'm not done with you yet, and Nicola Sturgeon - all power to your elbow hen, I promise my accent will be 10% better this season . I can't wait to play new characters including the glamorous FLOF (First Lady of France) Brigitte Macron and a certain Labour leader, who we imagine has a marvellous sense of humour and will no doubt be delighted to see himself depicted by a middle aged woman (please don't shave your beard off Jeremy, we've just had one made). Onward!" </P> <P> Location filming began on 25 September . Writing and filming continued the week of transmission . </P> <P> In February 2018, Ullman revealed to writer and broadcaster Claire Fordham that writing on the second series had already begun .
