The Ranganation - Season 2

Season 2

The Isolation Edition

Romesh Ranganathan's topical comedy show returns to BBC Two for a second series. However, in tune with the current climate, this series is a little different. Dubbed the ‘isolation edition', Romesh's new studio will be from home, his man den, also known as his garage.

Romesh will be joined virtually by two special 'isolating' guests and together with the help of his hand-picked focus group, The Ranganation, they will mull over the lighter end of the news spectrum, offering much needed respite from a world upended by a pandemic.

Also in isolation, The Ranganation will be beaming in to Romesh's makeshift studio from the comfort of their own homes. Representing a wide cross section of modern Britain, The Ranganation are 20 loveable, gregarious characters, including Romesh's lovely mum, (who would like all to know she is just fine, isolating alone, not far from Romesh, and cooking up a storm).

Renowned for their funny anecdotes and refreshingly real insights, The Ranganation will undoubtedly shed an illuminating light and shared perspective on life in lockdown.

Using the news as a starting point, past discussions with members of The Ranganation such as ‘Privileged', ‘Small Town Girl', ‘Never Voted' and ‘Wheeler Dealer', have covered such disparate areas as the Tory leadership candidates' domestic appliances, potentially losing a finger for one's phone, the sightings of UFOs in Scotland, and the surprisingly divisive subject of washing one's legs in the shower.

Formany of us there are many uncertainties in life right now, but at least Romesh and his gang will undoubtedly offer a bit of light relief from the world outside.

Beyond the Gates

Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
