Mock The Week returns
Topical panel show Mock The Week, hosted by Dara Ó Briain, has returned to BBC Two in 2011.
Summer fun and the hit show are now as natural a combination as strawberries and cream, spearmints and rhinos, and Cameron and Clegg, and although a High Court super injunction forbids revealing exact details of the series line-ups, viewers are reassured they can expect the usual magical mix of old favourites, new stars and some other people.
Names touted on Twitter include Micky Flanagan, Ed Byrne, Greg Davies, Milton Jones, Ava Vidal, Stewart Francis and Zoe Lyons.
Beginning on Thursday 9 June, the show's tenth outing ws made up of six episodes in June and July and is now being followed by another six in September and October as well as the now traditional Christmas special.
Show creator Dan Patterson enthused back in June: "What a year 2011 has been! We've had a referendum, a Royal Wedding and the discovery of the world's most wanted man. Unfortunately, that's all gone now, but I'm sure we'll get just as much mileage out of the Turkish elections, the England v Sri Lanka Test Series and the effect of inflation on utility bills. We can't wait to get started."
