(Zoe
Boyle & Kerry Howard)
A second series of the popular comedy/drama
Witless starts on ITV Choice (DStv
123) on December 3, 2019, at 20h30 and continues the story of Leanne (Kerry
Howard) and Rhona (Zoe Boyle), two ordinary flatmates whose lives are thrown
into disarray after accidentally seeing a gangland shooting, and are forced
into witness protection.
The first series was heralded as “sharp,
character comedy” and saw unwitting Leanne and uptight Rhona, given new
identities and left to fend for themselves in a grubby flat in Swindon. If
being in a witness protection programme wasn’t hard enough, the girls were then
faced with two teenage underlings, the self-styled ‘DJ Sound as F***’ and
‘Appraisal’, sent by a criminal gang to track them down.
After becoming deeply entangled in the
criminal world they were trying to escape, Series 1 ended on an out-and-out
cliff-hanger. Series 2 kicks off with the witless wonders facing their biggest
scrape yet: with their “safe house” no longer so safe, and unable to trust the
police, Leanne and Rhona are on the run, again.
