Mammoth | Series 2 Preview (BBC Two)

Made by BBC Studios Comedy, the hit comedy about PE teacher Tony Mammoth from the 70’s getting a second chance at life, is soon to return to our screens on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer and will include a Christmas special.

Mike Bubbins (Death Valley, The Socially Distant Sports Bar podcast) is Tony Mammoth, believed to have died in an avalanche during a school trip in 1979, attempting to restart his life after miraculously returning from the dead when his body is discovered frozen in time.

Series two sees the return of Sian Gibson (Car Share, The Power of Parker) as Tony’s daughter Mel who is thinking about a career change. Joel Davison as Mel’s son Theo who celebrates a milestone birthday, Joseph Marcell (The Fresh Prince of Bel Air) as Mammoth’s long-suffering best friend Roger who takes on a new role as Tony’s fitness trainer, and John Weldon (The Tuckers) as Headteacher Mr Cowley.

Joining the cast for series two are Al Roberts (Stath Lets Flats, Starstruck) as Mel’s new love interest Michael and Dylan Malyn (To Kill a Mockingbird, Lost Boys and Fairies) as Nathan, Mel’s nephew, and new boss!

Episode 1: Following a panic attack, Tony Mammoth (briefly) decides to get healthy. At the gym, he’s confronted by his nemesis, Terry Keane. His previous traumatic experience gears him on to get revenge on Terry by signing up to a rival over-70s football team. With the help of Roger, he gets fighting fit to be ready for his day of destiny. Meanwhile, Mel decides to quit her job and follow her 'dream' - becoming a professional potter.

Episode 2: Mammoth turns into the protective father figure when Mel goes on a date with a new man, Matthew. But he quickly starts to adore him (mainly on a whim). Whilst trying to develop the world’s strangest bromance, he takes his self-appointed role as head of PE very seriously until the pressure gets too much.

Meanwhile, Mel isn’t feeling it with Matthew, and Theo revels in his new bad-boy image.

Episode 3: Presumed dead in 1979, Tony Mammoth is discovered and brought back from the dead.

Mammoth returns Monday 1st December at 10pm on BBC Two.
