Second series for Ed Gamble's Unacceptable

Before the first has even aired

Ed Gamble-fronted panel show Unacceptable has been renewed for a second series, before the first has even aired.

The TLC channel will broadcast the initial run of six episodes – with Richard Ayoade and Joanne McNally as team captains – from this Sunday. 

Now the broadcaster has confirmed eight further hour-long instalments, including a Christmas special, will air from November. 

The format requires the comedian panellists to agree with views that are deliberately daft, niche or ill-advised, with a ‘swingometer’ tracking how many audience members each team wins over.

It also features challenges to put the comedians’ arguments to the test, and a ‘stitch-up round’ where panellists must defend unseen opinions written by the opposing team. In this preview clip from that round, McNally is forced to argue that women aren't funny: 

Series one guests include Maisie Adam, Guz Khan, Joel Dommett, Katherine Ryan, Tom Davis and Romesh Ranganathan, whose company Ranga Bee Productions makes the programme.

Also appearing in series one are Alex Brooker, Lou Sanders, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Sarah Keyworth, Fatiha El-Ghorri, Rhys James, Suzi Ruffell, Harriet Kemsley, Chris McCausland, Geoff Norcott, Lucy Beaumont, Ivo Graham, Jessica Knappett, Roisin Conaty, Sophie Willan, Catherine Bohart and Vittorio Angelone. 

The show starts on TLC at 9pm on Sunday, just before the final Mock The Week summer special at 10pm.
