Corporation staff just can't hold back as Ian Fletcher 'BBC Head of Values' played by Hugh Bonneville is spotted with a film crew at Broadcasting House in London
Filming for the second series of comedy W1A kicked off this morning at BBC's headquarters Broadcasting House in London.
Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville was spotted sipping on a takeaway coffee outside the iconic building's revolving doors. But you'd be forgiven for not noticing, as a flurry of other celebrities, broadcasters and journalists made their way into their actual offices in identical fashion...

Which is, erm... Sorry, now we're confused.
W1A returns to BBC2 later this year
