The programme will feature the Scottish comic at his satirical best with stand-up, review and discussion - all in an attempt to make mincemeat of the last 12 months.

Frankie Boyle says: “I’m so delighted to be doing this show as that little period between Christmas and New Year is something that I’ve always wanted to ruin for everybody.”

Ruth Phillips, Joint Managing Director of Zeppotron, says: “From the Brexit fall-out to Weinstein, Trump to Kim Jong Un, 2017 certainly isn't going to leave Frankie short of things to chew over in his inimitable, provocative, scathingly funny way.”

Alex Moody, Commissioning Editor Comedy at the BBC, says: “After the well-received series run this year it’ll be fascinating - and possibly jaw-dropping - to hear what Frankie and his guests have to say about 2017. His scabrous way of getting beneath the skin of the major stories of the year will be both compelling and hilarious.”
