The game of dinner party jeopardy is set to return with a new group of daring diners.

As before, five famous faces meet at a restaurant and reluctantly surrender their credit cards. They play a series of funny and revealing games with the loser of the games having to pick up the bill for everyone, making it an expensive night for one of the celebrities.

In series one, viewers saw an eclectic mix of personalities meet round the dining table, from Richard Madeley, Rachel Johnson and Dotty, through to Victoria Coren Mitchell, Griff Rhys Jones and Harry Redknapp. This new series sees another group of household names take on the challenge, and run the risk of footing the bill for their fellow diners.

Kate Phillips, Controller Entertainment Commissioning at the BBC, says: “I’ll Get This is a refreshing new take on the panel show format and I‘m looking forward to even more helpings of our dinner party with a twist.”

Paul McGettigan, Head of Comedy Entertainment, 12 Yard Productions, says: “We are delighted to be bringing our unique dining format back to BBC Two. Celebrities better start saving because yes, they really do pay the bill!“

The new 6x30’ episodes, including a Christmas Special, have been ordered by Kate Phillips, Controller Entertainment Commissioning and Patrick Holland, Controller BBC Two and will go out on BBC Two at Christmas, and in 2020. The Commissioning Editor for the BBC is Jo Street.

The Executive Producers for 12 Yard Productions are Paul McGettigan and Zoë Tait, Series Producer is Breid Mcloone. The new format was created by 12 Yard Productions, an ITV Studios owned Indie, and is distributed by ITV Studios Global Entertainment.
