'Insert Name Here' Back For Series Two

News Image
A second series of 'Insert Name Here' has been commissioned by BBC Two. The comedy panel show features Sue Perkins, Richard Osman and Josh Widdicombe.

The 6x30 series follows on from the format of the first run, where each episode is focused around one particular name – and the people, both past and present, who have shared it.

12 Yard Scotland and Black Dog Television have been re-commissioned by BBC Entertainment for series two of the show. It was commissioned by Controller of Television Channels and BBC iPlayer, Charlotte Moore; Acting Controller, BBC Entertainment Commissioning Alan Tyler and the Commissioning Editor is Jo Street. It is executive produced by Paul McGettigan.

Alan Tyler, Acting Controller of BBC Entertainment Commissioning, said: "Sue, Richard and Josh are three names we are thrilled to be bringing to our audiences in a second series of Insert Name Here. The first run brilliantly married humour and insight, and I'm looking forward to more of the same, with some inventive new twists, in this series."

Andy Culpin, Managing Director 12 Yard, added: "We are delighted to be working with such talented people as Sue, Richard and Josh once again, and building on what was a hugely entertaining first series."

Sue Perkins commented: "I'm absolutely delighted to be back with Richard and Josh – it's fast, funny and fiercely competitive, and all without the use of meldonium."
