Damned is back for series 2. Can you give us any hints as to what to expect?
I suppose I should say first of all that we’ve got a new character, who’s quite an annoying, know-it-all student called Mimi, who’s on work experience from her social work training. To some extent, she’s a kind of reminder to the time-servers that they’re not quite as great as they think they are. And they’re not quite as efficient, and they’re not quite as up-to-date with life as they thought they were.
Channel 4 has confirmed that Damned, the black comedy based around the lives of two jaded social workers played by Jo Brand and Alan Davies, is returning to the channel for a new six-part series in 2018.
