Fresh off a stint of selling double glazing in White Gold, James Buckley is returning to our screens for more fantastical adventures tomorrow (October 12).

Specifically, we'll find him inside a jail cell in a parallel universe, as Zapped begins its second series to Dave.

The show, executive-produced by Steve Coogan, follows Buckley's character Brian who is zapped (see what they did there?) into the extremely odd town of Munty.

Billed as a mixture of Red Dwarf, Blackadder and a bit of Game of Thrones, the six-episode second run of the show welcomes back cast members Buckley, Paul Kaye, Sharon Rooney, Louis Emerick and Ken Collard. Have a look at our exclusive clip from the first episode here:

The video shows Brian stuck in prison with an 'interesting' cellmate as he receives a visit from soothsayer Barbara (Sharon Rooney).

Desperate to know his fate, he asks her to do a reading for him, only to be told she's "retrained as a blacksmith".

What to Read Next

Excited at the prospect of a chisel, file, lock pick, crowbar or pliars to help him break out, he's left disappointed by the (rather delicious-looking) Victoria sponge she has brought.

But will Paul Kaye's Howell able to rescue the day and magic Brian out of jail?

We'll have to find out when the show returns.

Series 2 of Zapped starts on Dave on Thursday, October 12 at 9.40pm.
