In the AMA someone asked Harmon about a storyline he had wanted to do, but didn't get a chance. He mentioned that he wanted to bring in Richard Ayoade to play an Inspector Spacetime fan who befriends Abed online.

Ayoade directed the "My Dinner with Andre" episode of Community, but is best known for playing Moss on the British sitcom, The IT Crowd. Oddly enough, Ayoade reprised his role of Moss in the pilot for the US adaptation of The IT Crowd that NBC ordered in 2007. In that pilot, Joel McHale played the role of Roy, the other IT nerd, and it was produced by Moses Port and David Guarascio, who are the new show-runners of Community.

It appears that the storyline Harmon wanted to do will indeed happen in Season 4, but Ayoade won't be playing the British fan. Instead, that role will be filled by Matt Lucas, the bald guy from Little Britain (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0524240/): http://tvline.com/2012/08/20/communi...tor-spacetime/

Also cast for Season 4, Malcolm McDowell will play the gang's History teacher in at least 4 episodes: http://tvline.com/2012/08/17/communi...colm-mcdowell/
