In October 2011, Graham Linehan stated that a one-off special would air to end the series. On 8 May 2013, it was confirmed by Channel 4 and the BBC that the special would beginshooting in a few weeks, and would air later in the year. Den of Geek's spoiler-free review revealed the title as "The Internet Is Coming", though the title of this episode has been incorrectly given as "The Last Byte" by some sources. The special had a running time of 48 minutes, which is twice the standard length of all the regular episodes.
