10 O'Clock Live returns to Channel 4

1 November 2011

 

Channel 4 has commissioned a second, 10-part series of 10 O'Clock Live from leading comedy and entertainment producer Zeppotron.

The full original line up of David Mitchell Charlie Brooker, Lauren Laverne and Jimmy Carr return to shine an uncomfortably bright light on the week's events and give an alternative take on what you think are the facts.

Set to launch early in 2012, the weekly series will use the presenting team's collective talents as comics, performers and commentators to bring a witty, fresh and intelligent take on current issues and events.

Each 45 minute show will be broadcast live, and the team will be joined by a range of studio guests, from politicians to cultural commentators and other experts.

10 O Clock Live is commissioned by Darren Smith and produced by Zeppotron. The Executive Producers for Zeppotron are Ruth Phillips, Richard Osman and Ben Caudell.  The Series Editor is Andrew Westwell.

Darren Smith, Commissioning Editor Channel 4 said "We're thrilled to be back in this territory again, especially with such an enormously talented line-up. I don't think a show like this could exist anywhere else but C4."

Ruth Phillips, Head of Comedy at Zeppotron added   "We're delighted to be back with our exceptional cast delivering weekly live satirical comedy alongside an indepth look at current affairs.   We're also grateful that we'll be on air just in time for the collapse of the entire Western world."
