Weeks before the release of the first series, a second series was confirmed for release in January 2011. Continual popularity saw a third series begin recording in August 2010 for a June 2011 release, and a fourth and a fifth series were then confirmed for release in 2012 and 2013 respectively.

In July 2012 a sixth and seventh series were confirmed for release in late 2013 and early 2014 respectively.

Details of an eighth series were released on 2nd May., scheduled for an October 2014 release, with a further two series lined up April and October 2015.
