ZEPPOTRON’S 1O O’CLOCK LIVE RETURNS TO CHANNEL 4

Leading comedy and entertainment producer Zeppotron has been commissioned by Channel 4 to produce a second run of the contemporary current affairs show, 10 O’Clock Live. The ten part series is set to launch early in 2012.

David Mitchell, Charlie Brooker, Lauren Laverne and Jimmy Carr return to shine an uncomfortably bright light on the week's events and give an alternative take on what you think are the facts.

The weekly series will use the presenting team's collective talents as comics, performers and commentators to bring a witty, fresh and intelligent take on current issues and events. The show will be broadcast live each week, and the team will be joined by a range of studio guests, from politicians to cultural commentators and other experts.

10 O'Clock Live is commissioned by Darren Smith and produced by Zeppotron. The Executive Producers at Zeppotron are Ruth Phillips, Richard Osman and Ben Caudell. The Series Editor is Andrew Westwell.

Darren Smith, Commissioning Editor Channel 4 said "We're thrilled to be back in this territory again, especially with such an enormously talented line-up. I don't think a show like this could exist anywhere else but C4."

Ruth Phillips, Head of Comedy at Zeppotron added; "We're delighted to be back with our exceptional cast delivering weekly live satirical comedy alongside an in-depth look at current affairs. We're also grateful that we'll be on air just in time for the collapse of the entire Western world."
