The fast-paced variety show features stand-up, sketches, audience interaction, songs, poetry, jokes and more. After two successful pilot shows that aired earlier this year, BBC Three has commissioned a full series of <em>Sexy Beasts<\/em>. The dating show explores whether true love can blossom based on character alone, as the daters are disguised.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTiger Aspect Productions has been tapped to produce a pilot episode of the comedy\/entertainment\/murder mystery hybrid <em>Murder in Successville<\/em>. The show is set in a fictional town full of celebrities, where there is an unfortunately high rate of homicide. The detective DCI Sleet each week enlists the help of a real celebrity guest sidekick to help solve the latest celebrity homicide. Comedian Tom Davis plays Sleet.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tJack Whitehall and his dad Michael return for two 45-minute <em>Backchat <\/em>specials, coinciding with Father&#039;s Day and the World Cup.

Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein are back on board.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tZai Bennett, the controller of BBC Three, said: &ldquo;BBC Three is committed to bringing the best in entertainment to its audiences so I&rsquo;m delighted to announce this raft of exciting new and returning shows. BBC Three discovered the brilliant Nick Helm and Heavy Entertainment promises to be just as quirky and special as <em>Uncle<\/em>. <em>Murder in Successville<\/em> takes murder mystery to a whole new level and I can&rsquo;t wait to see what happens in this weird and wonderful place. <em>Backchat<\/em> was a big hit for the channel last year so I&rsquo;m delighted that Jack and Michael are returning with two specials and <em>Sexy Beasts<\/em> was a real talking point when the pilot aired so I have high hopes for the series. And what can I say about Heydon and Jolyon other than look out, they&rsquo;re back!&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: BBC Three is bolstering its entertainment offering with three new formats plus additional seasons of returning favorites, including The Revolution Will Be Televised.
