Second series for Rob Beckett’s Smart TV

 Josh Widdicombe and Alison Hammond to return as team captains

Rob Beckett’s Smart TV will be returning to Sky Max for a second series, the broadcaster has announced,

 Josh Widdicombe and Alison Hammond will also return as team captains for six new 45-minute episodes of the TV-themed panel show.

And Hammond will host her first podcast, with a spinoff from the TV series set to run for 21 episode.

Beckett said: ‘I am absolutely buzzing that Smart TV is coming back. It brings me so much joy to be able to sit down for a bit. As a father of young children, the only time I get to sit down is on the toilet and hosting a TV  show.’

Hammond added: ‘We’re back babs! I can’t wait for the three musketeers to be reunited’ and  Widdicombe said: ‘I love spending time with Alison, and Rob is nice too if you like that kind of thing.’

Produced by Talkback,the first series launched in February  and featured guests including David Morrissey, Anna Maxwell-Martin, Cush Jumbo, Charlie Cooper and David Tennant. .

The new episodes will air next year, as will the Smart TV podcast.
