When does the new series start? and is Gene Simmons really going to be in it?

December after Saturday Night Takeaway has finished and I hope so.

Edit - Thread below says November.

It will be November. Can't see them leaving it as late as December (it usually ends during the first few days of December) - Takeaway won't be running for three months.

Yeah November seems about right, usually start to here more about it in october/early novemeber!

Mid November. It runs until beginning of December.

Ant and Dec are heading down under after Saturday Night Takeaway ends next week.
