Dave has renewed Question Team for a second season.

The quiz show, hosted by Richard Ayoade, re-writes the panel show rule book by making its comic players set the questions. Each guest must bring a unique round of questions, inspired by their own interests, for Richard Ayoade and the others to play. The sole stipulation is that their questions have proper answers, otherwise what goes down during their game is entirely up to them. So far, the series has welcomed comedians including James Acaster, Bob Mortimer, Nish Kumar, Kerry Godliman and Desiree Burch to come up with their unique rounds.

“The laugh-out-loud quiz show that you never knew you needed in your life,” we wrote of Bob Mortimer’s DIY quiz show in our review of Season 1.

The first season was one of the top performing commissions on Dave in 2021, attracting an average audience of 397k and peaking with 563k for episode one. Now, UKTV has renewed the programme for a second run of eight episodes.

Question Team is commissioned for UKTV by Iain Coyle, head of comedy entertainment, and ordered by Cherie Cunningham, Dave channel director.

Ayoade says: “I am beyond thrilled to be providing a quote pantomiming genuine excitement w/r/t whatever I’m meant to be promoting.”

Iain Coyle adds: “What’s great about this show, is that you’ve literally no idea what is going to be in it, week to week, as every round is unique. It’s quite something to pull off for the producers and Richard is an extraordinary host for an extraordinary show.”

Question Team joins an array of UKTV Originals coming to Dave in 2022, including Hypothetical S4, The Island, We Are Not Alone, and Sneakerhead.
