Jimmy Carr is returning as the narrator for the second season, while Comedy Central UK and Tiger Aspect have already lined up a slew of celebrities for the new episodes. Emma Bunton, Jack Whitehall, Olivia Colman, Michelle Keegan, Hugh Dennis, Phil Jupitus, Tom Rosenthal, Vicky Pattison, Josie Long, Joe Lycett, Mathew Baynton, Nick Helm, Sara Pascoe, Jessica Knappett and Nish Kumar have all signed on to appear in season two.
