The now ubiquitous Michael McIntyre will return with a second series of his 'Comedy Roadshow' for the BBC. Gosh, I can remember when he wasn't all over the telly. Back in the day.

Anyway, a spokeswoman for the corporation has confirmed the news, saying that the programme has been a "big hit", but refusing to comment on a Daily Mail report that claimed he'd signed a twelve month £500k contract.

She did, however, concede that he wouldn't be working with any other channels.
