10 O'Clock Live to return for third run

The first two series struggled both critically and to establish a large audience, but discussions with all four presenters – David Mitchell, Lauren Laverne, Jimmy Carr and Charlie Brooker – are underway for them to return.

 

The second series was moved from Thursday to Wednesday to avoid clashing with Question Time, and saw episode length cut, and the size of the run fall from 15 to 10. 

 

While the satirical show managed to boost its audience slightly for its second run, it is likely to be tweaked more to raise the show above the all-important 1 million viewer mark.

 

The new run will start in early 2013.
