Currently shooting in Dublin, Series 2 sees Stephens’s character, D.I. Jack Armstrong, joined by Miranda Raison (Spooks, Merlin) as his new “ambitious and highly efficient” partner, D.I. Georgina Dixon.

The six new episodes will air on BBC Two later this year.

Returning from Series 1 are Roger Griffiths (Holby City) and Ronny Jhutti (Survivors). Georgina’s father will be played by Nick Dunning (The Iron Lady).

Executive producer Jill Green commented: “In a recession we need shows that make us laugh, and that’s where Vexed fits in – a perfectly distinctive ‘yin yang’ take on modern day life.”
