House of Fools series two air date announced

Vic and Bob's gloriously silly sitcom will return to our screens later this month.

Vic and Bob’s BBC Two sitcom House of Fools will return on Sunday 28 December at 10pm with a Christmas special.

The festive episode sees the pair “travel underground to Phil Collins’ mansion to save Christmas” and features a guest appearance from League of Gentlemen star Reece Sheersmith.

If the show keeps its 10pm timeslot on a Tuesday night, the next six episodes should follow on BBC Two from Tuesday 30 December up until 3 February 2015.

Shane Allen, Controller of Comedy Commissioning, says: “House Of Fools is a much-needed big old rainbow of daftness in a world that is too grey and sensible. Those two lovable twits work very hard at making something that looks so effortlessly silly and it’s a thrill to know there’s plenty more where that came from.”

Matt Berry, Dan Skinner, Daniel Simonsen and Morgana Robinson will all reprise their roles in series two.
