ROMESH RANGANATHAN'S PARENTS' EVENING SET FOR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL ON ITV

Romesh Ranganathan’s Parents’ Evening is returning to ITV for its second series, having reached over 6.7m viewers across its first run.

The hit primetime celebrity game show, which tests parents' knowledge of their kids' general knowledge, will see Romesh team up once more with his hilarious score-keeping mum, Shanthi.

It's the show where it doesn’t matter what you  know, it’s what your mum or dad think you know. This 6x60 series will see three celebrity pairings compete each week to win money for their chosen charity.

As part of the second series, it has been revealed that one episode will be a Christmas special. Celebrities appearing across the series include Josh Widdicombe, Oti Mabuse, Larry Lamb, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Alex Brooker and Jeff Brazier.

Romesh Ranganathan says: “When I started comedy, my dream was always to keep my mum in regular employment. ITV have helped make this dream come true. I’m excited for her to steal the show again and for people to message me saying she should be hosting.”

Benjamin Green Exec and Co-Founder of Ranga Bee says: "We are so delighted to be making another series of Parents’ Evening, and we're especially thankful to ITV for allowing Romesh to be a part of Shanthi’s show.”

The Executive Producers for Ranga Bee Productions are Benjamin Green, Romesh Ranganathan and Shereen Docherty. Romesh Ranganathan's Parents’ Evening is distributed internationally by ITV Studios.
