Smash hit BBC series reveals line up for live show with massive comedian and TV star – here’s how fans can get tickets
HIT BBC show Uncanny has announced its star-studded line-up for a live recorded episode.
The TV series was born out of Danny Robins‘ love of investigating paranormal stories on his hit BBC Radio 4 podcast series.
The ‘UK’s go-to ghost guy’, who also penned the hit play 2.22 – A Ghost Story, turned the podcast into a television series which became a runaway success for BBC Two last October.
It managed to trounce Big Brother’s big comeback in the ratings with Danny’s show comfortably achieving a higher rating than the reality juggernaut.
On the back of its success, the show landed a second series earlier this year.
Danny is now giving fans the opportunity to meet its stars at UncannyCon on December 8 in London’s Royal Festival Hall.
Tickets are on sale for the spine-tingling show from the Southbank Centre‘s website.
The event allows fans to meet Robins, experts and witnesses, and special guests including actors Reece Shearsmith, Jon Culshaw, and Parapsychologist Evelyn Hollow.
Eslewhere, there’s plenty more content to dive into, with comedian Stewart Lee joining Robins for three new episodes of Uncanny, titled The Trilogy Of Terror.
Two further episodes looked at the case of Meadow Cottage in the Lake District – a haunting that lasted 18 years, with all episodes available on BBC Sounds.
Speaking to The Sun in an exclusive interview backstage at his recent performance at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, Danny said: ” I’m allowed to tell you it’s officially announced.
“Yeah, a second series – it’s coming back.
“We started filming it this week and I think the response to the first one was lovely.
“The podcast has built this great audience and at one point, one of the top ten most popular pods in the country, which was just kind of mind blowing for a show about the paranormal and that’s grown and grown and grown.
“I think the TV series took us to an even wider audience, which is lovely.
“I’ve had my book out the tour. You know, I think all of these things kind of take Uncanny in different directions and in each thing we are doing, it is brand new cases, we’re not just repeating stuff.
“I can’t wait to share more telly with people.”
With the next series of the TV show already underway, Danny also has his sights set on Hollywood in the future.
As the creator of sell-out West End play, 2.22: A Ghost Story, Danny was left mingling with LA’s finest when the show enjoyed a run Stateside.
It saw him with some of Tinseltown’s top film bosses which sparked conversation that his projects could be making it to the big screen.
Danny told us: “We went and did that play in Los Angeles at one point and we had lots of Hollywood producers coming down.
“I think we’d love to do films at some point but it’ll be at the moment where it feels right.”
