Returning: Hypothetical

UK panel show Hypothetical, with Josh Widdicombe and James Acaster, is returning for its second season on UKTV in August.

This screened in the UK in February.

Hypothetical is Josh Widdicombe and James Acaster’s new comedy panel show where top comedians are posed increasingly absurd hypothetical situations and scored on how well they would deal with them. Over three rounds, two teams of celebrities must think on their feet as they are faced with a series of wildly fictional scenarios and interrogated on their approach to each one. Josh poses the questions and interrogates the guests’ methods, while James, the arbiter of all Hypotheticals, deals with the guests’ quibbles and queries and doles out the points.

Tuesdays at 9.30pm from August 4 on UKTV.
