David Walliams has announced that the second series of Big School will begin later this month.

The actor confirmed the air date on Twitter today that Series 2 will start at 9.30pm on Friday 29 August on BBC One.

Guest stars in the comedy’s new series include Morgana Robinson as children’s author Fenella Forbes, Jimmy Akingbola as new geography teacher Dr Dalton, Jack Caroll as new pupil Dean, Sylvestra le Touzel as a School Inspector, Michele Dotrice as the mother of Mr Gunn and Karen Taylor as a parent of one of the Greybridge pupils.

Episode 1 sees Miss Postern (Catherine Tate) and Mr Church’s (David Walliams) relationship taking a downward turn after a misunderstanding over a date, while the woefully underqualified Mr Gunn (Philip Glenister) is now teaching geography as Mr Barber’s (Steve Spiers) got a new job as the school caretaker.
