Romesh Ranganathan’s parents’ evening set to second series on ITV

On By Littum

Romesh Rangnatn’s parents’ evening is ready to return to ITV later in the year for another series, understands TV Zone. The production company Ranga Bee is currently occupying for potential filming this summer.

Every episode of ITV Primetime Quiz sees celebrities join forces with their daughters, sons, mothers or dad in the show where it doesn’t matter what you know, that’s what your mom and dad think you know.

Packed full of huge laughs and tremendous embarrassment lies the wealth of the participants in the hands of those who should know them best … their parents. Likewise, Romesh will do her best to keep her own mother, Shanthi happy as she helps oversee the procedure and team results as well as keep Romesh in chess!

In each round it is down to the parents to decide what they think their (adult) children know, but how well do they really know them? With a mixture of list and image questions plus spumber rounds, the adult children will have to answer the questions correctly, but it is their parents who will choose their questions – put them in the firing line and play on how many they can get right.

If they meet their parents’ expectations, they get the money but fall short and the cash is divided between the other teams. Whoever pockets most cash will earn the right to play with their parent in the final round for a chance to double their money to charity.

In a game where parents decide everything, will their offspring meet their expectations? Who knows, but what we can promise is an evening of entertainment, where, like the parents’ evening you remember, our celebrities will suffer embarrassment, vicious classification and a strict word in the parking lot after.

Celebrities participating in the first series last year were: Alison Hammond and son Aidan; Tony Bellew and Son Corey; Joel Dommett and Mum Penny; Mel B and Daughter Phoenix; Jonathan Ross and daughter Honey; Carol Vorderman and son Cameron; Iain Stirling and his mother Alison; Richard Madeley and daughter Chloe Plus Vicky Pattison and Mum Caroll.

Romesh Ranganathan’s parents’ evening is available on ITVX.
