Each episode of the four-part series produced by Mercury Productions will be filmed in front of a live audience and include contributions from guest comedians and some of the duo&#8217;s co-stars.\u00a0It is set to air later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Joe McVey, UKTV commissioning editor, said: \u201cIf you\u2019ve been at a crossroads in your life or simply trying to work out which sofa cushions to get, <em>Trust Morecambe &amp; Wise<\/em> is what we\u2019ve been waiting for. Every decision you make could be made easier by allowing Eric and Ernie to guide you. Also, it really is a great thrill to claim that I have commissioned Morecambe &amp; Wise at some point in my career and that\u2019s certainly the way I\u2019m going to spin it on my CV.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tom Webber of Mercury Productions added: \u201cIt\u2019s a thrill to bring Gold viewers the brilliance of <em>Morecambe &amp; Wise\u2014<\/em>and to have Lenny Henry fronting the series. Lenny\u2019s not just a huge fan of Eric and Ernie, he knew them both and is the perfect host to lead this celebration of their genius.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stand-up stars Josh Widdicombe and James Acaster will return for a second season of the comedy show <em>Hypothetical<\/em>, which poses tricky questions to a panel of four comic guests that are then awarded points on a seemingly random basis. <em>Hypothetical<\/em> is produced by Hat Trick Productions.<\/p>\n<p>Widdicombe said: \u201cI am absolutely delighted Dave has turned the hypothetical <em>Hypothetical<\/em> second season into a reality. I know no one outside of the industry really reads these quotes so I would like to take this chance to say the success of the show is all down to the team&#8217;s hard work and late nights. Now that&#8217;s done I look forward to James and I publicly taking all the credit for the show when it comes out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Acaster added: \u201cThe second series of <em>Hypothetical<\/em> is going to be bigger, braver and more hypotheticaler than before! Widdicombe called me up and told me to suit up in my finest corduroys because it\u2019s time to ask the questions most folks are too scared to ask to the people most folks are too scared to gaze upon. I\u2019ve been wearing the big hat and the small hat on alternate days in preparation. I\u2019ve got a pocketful of points and I\u2019m keen to dish them out! They\u2019re weighing me down! I\u2019m lugging these points around everywhere with me and I need to lighten the load! I\u2019ll give them to whoever I can! As long as they give me a satisfying answer to a hypothetical question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McVey said: \u201cGreat news for people who want life hacks from comedians, <em>Hypothetical<\/em> is back. This is of no use if you need parenting tips or advice on how to get your tax return done in time, however, it\u2019s more of a \u2018how to live for a year without shoes\u2019 kind of thing. On second thought, this is of no real-world use to any of us. Why have we done this? Because it\u2019s funny. That\u2019s why we did this and I\u2019m happy we did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luke Hales, Dave channel director, commented: \u201cWe are so pleased to be bringing <em>Hypothetical<\/em> back for another hilarious series, not only because it was a massive success for us but on a personal level, as a viewer, it is one of my favorite things on TV. The comedians genuinely have zero prep time and having to improvise on the spot makes for some of the funniest moments I have seen on telly in years. On Dave, we are committed to working with the best comic talent and making the funniest and most original comedy on British TV and this really does deliver on all of those fronts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stu Mather of Hat Trick Productions said: \u201cWe\u2019re absolutely thrilled that <em>Hypothetical<\/em> is back for another series on Dave. It\u2019s been a pleasure developing the show with Joe and the team at UKTV and in exchange for their support, we promise to put more of the country\u2019s best comedians into increasingly stupid hypothetical situations.\u00a0We can\u2019t wait to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UKTV has commissioned the brand-new original series Trust\u00a0Morecambe &amp; Wise\u00a0for its Gold channel and a second season of Hypothetical for Dave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":9420,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2061,2062,81],"class_list":["post-9419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hypothetical","tag-trust-morecambe-wise","tag-uktv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>UKTV Orders Trust\u00a0Morecambe &amp; Wise, More Hypothetical - TVEUROPE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/21\/uktv-orders-trust-morecambe-wise-more-hypothetical\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"UKTV Orders Trust\u00a0Morecambe &amp; Wise, More Hypothetical - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"UKTV has commissioned the brand-new original series Trust\u00a0Morecambe &amp; Wise\u00a0for its Gold channel and a second season of Hypothetical for Dave.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/21\/uktv-orders-trust-morecambe-wise-more-hypothetical\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-06-21T14:33:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-06-21T17:29:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/07\/hypothetical-hat-trick.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"267\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/21\/uktv-orders-trust-morecambe-wise-more-hypothetical\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/21\/uktv-orders-trust-morecambe-wise-more-hypothetical\/\",\"name\":\"UKTV Orders Trust\u00a0Morecambe &amp; Wise, More Hypothetical - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-06-21T14:33:46+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-06-21T17:29:50+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/21\/uktv-orders-trust-morecambe-wise-more-hypothetical\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/21\/uktv-orders-trust-morecambe-wise-more-hypothetical\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/21\/uktv-orders-trust-morecambe-wise-more-hypothetical\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"UKTV Orders Trust\u00a0Morecambe &amp; Wise, More Hypothetical\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
