THE BBC confirms the return date of a much loved comedy show and the Motherland spin-off new series Amandaland.
It's been two and a half years since we learned the truth of just how Alex died but the comedy thriller is back next month.
The second season of Am I Being Unreasonable? will return to our screens on Wednesday 5th February on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Daisy May Cooper plays Nic, a mum stuck in a depressing marriage grieving a loss she can't share with anyone.
Selin Hizli plays Jen who arrives in Nic's life as a kindred spirit and school mum, but both are concealing secrets
Season 2 will begin where Series 1 ended and the synopsis asks the question: "Has Daisy May Cooper's Nic actually got away with murder, and has she has raised her son Ollie in her own murky footsteps.

It continues: "Kicked out of the family home for brotherly love – loving the wrong brother – Nic is reduced to sharing a caravan with her not so trustworthy best friend Jen.
"Nic’s husband Dan has taken up roller-blading to channel his mid-life crisis.
"Shunned at the school gates and cast as the witch at the school re-enactment, Nic is experiencing hallucinations. Or is someone playing tricks on her?"
Daisy May is reunited with her co-star and co-creator Selin, as well as key cast members including Lenny Rush and Dustin Demri-Burns.
Charlie Cooper, Daisy's real life brother, is also set to make an appearance – although his role is still under wraps.
Also coming in February is the Motherland spin-off show Amandaland which centres around the character of Amanda played by Lucy Punch.
Joining Lucy are Joanna Lumley as Felicity, Philippa Dunne as Anne and Samuel Anderson (Gavin & Stacey) as Mal.
Also appearing are Siobhan McSweeney (Derry Girls) as Della, Rochenda Sandall (Line of Duty) as Fi, Ekow Quartey (Trying) as JJ and Peter Serafinowicz (The Gentlemen) as Johannes.
Tanya Qureshi, Head of Comedy at the BBC says: "We can’t wait for audiences to see Amanda’s new chapter.
"Brought to life by such a talented cast and a wonderfully sharp set of characters. It’s going to be a real treat."
Best BBC comedies
A BBC boss called on the industry to "save our sitcoms", but the corporation has a history of fantastic shows.
We look back at some of the best to ever grace the screen.
Fawlty Towers (1975-1979) - Only two series were made of the beloved institution. However, the cultural impact of the series starring John Cleese and Connie Booth spans decades. It follows rude and intolerant Basil Fawlty (Cleese) as he attempts to improve the reputation of his hotel.
Only Fools and Horses (1981-2003) - The show was crowned by some as the best British sitcom of all time by a TV poll in 2004. Seven series were broadcast on BBC until 1991 with additional sporadic Christmas specials airing until 2003. Sir David Jason starred as ambitious market trader Derek "Del Boy" Trotter whilst Nicholas Lyndhurst played his younger half-brother Rodney. Set in working-class Peckham in south-east London, it follows the highs and lows of the lives of the Trotters', in particular their brazen attempts to get rich.
Blackadder (1983 - 1989) - Four series were made of the iconic show, created by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson. Each series spans a different historical period as anti-hero Edmund Blackadder (Atkinson) tries to better himself in each society. Accompanied by his dogsbody Baldrick (Tony Robinson), trouble always ensues. A TV poll in 2004 found that Blackadder was voted the second-best British sitcom of all time
Absolutely Fabulous (1992 - 2012) - Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley star as failing PR guru Edina 'Eddie' Monsoon and alcoholic fashionista Patsy Stone. The pair embark on heavy-drinking sessions and abuse drugs in a desperate attempt to stay 'hip'. Eddie constantly chases bizarre fads and fails to lose weight whilst her disappointed and neglected daughter Saffy (Julia Sawalha) looks on.
Little Britain (2003 - 2006) - The premise is simple. A sketch show which features different British people from all walks of life that are engaged in all sorts of comical scenarios. Starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams, the pair created iconic pop culture characters. Viewers loved obnoxious council estate teenager Vicky Pollard, morbidly obese scrounger Bubbles Devere, slimming coach Marjorie Dawes, despondent office worker Carol Beer, disgraced politician Sir Norman Fry, of course the iconic Lou and Andy!
The Catherine Tate Show (2004-2015) - A sketch show starring the likes of Catherine Tate. She made iconic characters such as rowdy schoolgirl Lauren Cooper with her line 'Am I bovvered?'. Other characters featured Bernie the nurse, the aga saga woman, complaining couple Janice and Ray, and of course her infamous 'Nan', Joannie Taylor. The last character herself spawned multiple specials and even a movie.
Gavin and Stacey (2007 - Present) The series tells the story of Gavin (Matthew Horne) and Stacey (Joanna Page). The pair embarked on an online and telephone romance for six months. But when they finally decide to be together properly, their friends and family get in the way. Ruth Jones and James Corden created the beloved show, which has been going for over a decade. The 2019 Christmas special was the most-watched comedy in 17 years and the most-viewed non-sporting event in a decade.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety.
Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Amanda’s mother Felicity is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely.
Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
