Each week, celebrity guests will battle through a series of competitive, chaotic rounds to determine who knows the most about TV... these famous faces might be ON TV, but how much do they actually know about the shows on telly?

Speaking of the show returning for a second season, Rob Beckett said: “I'm delighted to be back hosting the best TV quiz show about TV on TV at the time of writing. Alison and Josh are on excellent form as per usual and the guests this year are absolute legends at the top of the game. It was one of the highlights of my year making this show and I can't wait for everyone to see it.”
