The show is produced by Avalon Television.\u00a0The third season is set to begin airing on Wednesdays and Sundays on May 17.<\/p>\n<p>Forde remarked: &#8220;I&#8217;m delighted to be returning with <em>Unspun<\/em> during the election campaign. I, for one, welcome Theresa May&#8217;s drive to keep satirists and political comedians in work. It seems to be the only issue which unites her and Jeremy Corbyn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hilary Rosen, the deputy director of commissioning, said: \u201cDave is putting<em> Unspun<\/em> at the heart of its schedule and blazing a trail in the satirical space. Matt Forde is the best in the business\u2014there\u2019s no one else out there who is as funny and knowledgeable about the state of British politics. This will be required viewing in the run-up to June 8. Who better to help us make sense of the forthcoming election campaign?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steve North, Dave&#8217;s general manager, noted: &#8220;We&#8217;re putting our weight behind <em>Unspun<\/em> because we feel there&#8217;s a real need for contemporary and topical programming that unpicks politics and helps our viewers to understand where we are now. We are significantly increasing our coverage of politics in the run-up to the election and it&#8217;s important that it&#8217;s as fresh and up-to-date as it can be given the pace at which politics is playing out, particularly on social media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jon Thoday, Avalon&#8217;s managing director, added: \u201cIt is great for a British broadcaster to be backing a political comedy series in this way, and we are excited to be working with UKTV once again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UKTV has ordered a third and fourth season of the political comedy show Unspun with Matt Forde, which will air twice a week on Dave in the run-up to the general election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":479,"featured_media":10100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1799,309,1898],"class_list":["post-10099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-dave","tag-uktv","tag-unspun-with-matt-forde","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
