HOLD THE FRONT PAGE RETURNS TO SKY MAX FOR SECOND SERIES

Josh Widdicombe and Nish Kumar are about to leap back into the weird and wonderful world of local news journalism with Hold the Front Page, returning for a second run. And this time, the boys are determined to do a lot better than they did before.

The new series will again follow the highs and lows of Nish and Josh as they travel across the UK working for a different local newspaper each week, on a mission to find real local stories strong enough to make the front page.

Last series we saw the pair meet mermaids in West Sussex, they found themselves on the set of Emmerdale in Yorkshire, and not forgetting Nish’s attempt to chase Boris Johnson down in Blackpool!

In series two, Josh and Nish will embark on the next leg of their investigative journey around Britain; delving into local mysteries, taking part in unusual events, cover the burning issues of the day and perhaps enlist a celebrity or two to help them out along the way.

With very little journalistic experience, and not the best track-record from last series, will they succeed in their quest for a stand-out story to make the front page?

Hold The Front Page will air this Spring on Sky Max.
