Last time, we were discussing the logic and challenge of producing a sitcom that has more sit than com. In this, the final episode of Psychoville’s second series, that trend continues.

When is a sitcom not a sitcom? When the Venn diagram of situation to comedy is balanced heavily in favour of the non-funny bits? This certainly seems to be the case with Psychoville as it nears the end of its second series.

The weird and wonderful world of Psychoville returns to BBC Two in May for a second series, introducing several new characters.

The weird and wonderful world of Psychoville returns to BBC Two in May for a brand new series, with co-creators and writers Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton once again taking centre stage, playing a range of loveable grotesques in a world that only they could imagine.

Starring Tamzin Outhwaite, five-part thriller series Paradox is coming to BBC One this winter.
