Airing next summer, the opening episode of Series 2 will feature Stephen Fry as Dr. Bevelspepp – “a tweedy professor with a floppy quiff, who uses his encyclopaedic knowledge of Jinsy to help save the island from an invasion of rampaging hair” – and Greg Davies as Jennitta Bishard – “a delightfully sinister figure who delivers punishments to residents across the island from the safety of her TV studio”.

Later episodes will see Katy Brand as a flamboyant psychic, Ben Miller as the Chief Accountant of Jinsy, Dame Eileen Atkins a school-mistress, Sir Derek Jacobi as the eldest resident of Jinsy island, Stephen Mangan as the owner of Mr Lovely’s Lovely Jumper Shop, Rob Brydon as Jinsy singing sensation, Rex Camalbeeter, KT Tunstall a folk singer and Phil Davis as ex-Arbiter Roley Jenkins alongside Olivia Colman as his wife Joan.
