Romesh Ranganathan is to join Ben Miller and Countdown's Rachel Riley for a new ITV1 series entitled It's Not Rocket Science.

A pilot was shot earlier this year and Ben Miller confirmed that a full series was being made at an ITV event in late 2015. 

The original one-off was described by ITV as "a brand new entertaining, exciting science series which sets out to answer some of the biggest questions in the world like... How do you blow things up in space? Will genetics ever bring back the dinosaurs? Why do we only find certain people attractive? Why are we not all frightened of the same thing?"

Miller is the author of a book called It's Not Rocket Science, not to be confused with the live show and R4 show by Helen Keen called It Is Rocket Science.

It's Not Rocket Science goes out on ITV1 on Tuesdays at 8pm from February 16.
