Never heard of it - if it makes it to TV could you chuck a reminder on here? Wouldn't want to miss that one.
Don't think it will be on for a while. Not even sure what format it will take. Sounds like it's more likely to be sitcom style than some sort of mocumentary if the wikipedia article is anything to go by: Morris told The Sunday Times that the film will seek to do for Islamic terrorism what Dad's Army, the classic BBC comedy, did for the Nazis by showing them as "scary but also ridiculous". It's got a reference to the interview but I'm too lazy to follow it. Before it got picked up by film4 he was going to get fans to pay £50 to appear as extras as a way to help fund it. Well according to a mate anyway.

Amanda Peet was lovely in Studio 60.
My big shout out would go to:
Invasion, and possibly Generation Kill.
But maybe the latter was so good because it was relatively short.

They did try flogging it more with Joey, which was a flop. Though that was the weakest spin off they could do, I'd have liked to see them do "The Bings" - Chandler and Monica living in the suburbs with kids. Except no one else actually wanted to do a spin off.

I'm not sure after how long it went on for any spin off would have worked, they rarely do. The one obvious exception is of course Frasier, which was far better than Cheers. And far, far, far better than Friends for what its worth.

To be truly great you have to go out on a high note, therefore you can't go all the way to the end. You'll either be left wanting more, or disappointed, and I know which I'd rather have.
My initial reaction was to say Spaced. In hindsight, I think I might throw up if they do bring out some crappy update.
