Brian Cox, who plays Logan, also opened up about season three to The Hollywood Reporter, saying: "We never knew from episode to episode what was going to happen. But then [creator Jesse Armstrong told me. And it's jolly thrilling. That's all I can say.
Speaking about Logan, he added: "I think he's also now got a whole new respect for Roman because he feels that Roman has come of age. Roman's defence of Gerri, which is very admirable, but more so his recognising the fallacy of the whole Middle Eastern trip."
