Bill Turnbull’s quiz show, Think Tank, will be returning for a second series.
The BBC One show will be back later this year with the former BBC breakfast host as its presenter.
The new series will consist of 30 episodes, which is up from the 20 featured in the first series.

Turnbull said: “I’m very happy to be going back to the studio for another series of Think Tank. We had a lot of fun first time round, and I’m sure the next series will be even better.”
Commissioning editor, Jo Street, said: “Bill and his highly entertaining colleagues in the Think Tank kept our audiences entertained in the afternoon and we are very pleased to bring the team back together from all across the UK to help even more contestants in the next series.”
The quiz show sees a group of regular contributors from across the nation answering general knowledge questions.

Their answers aim to help contestants through a series of questions, with the aim of gettting to the final round to tackle the ‘Question: Impossible’ – the question the Think Tank hasn’t been able to answer.
He also recently returned to his radio roots to host two new programmes on Classic FM.
He announced he was swapping his weekday early mornings on breakfast television for a more relaxing 10am to 1pm radio slot on Saturdays and Sundays.
In February this year he stepped down from the BBC Breakfast sofa after 15 years on the show to spend more time with his family – and his bees.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
