Season 2 has plenty of weird scenes – but this one might take the cake.
*Warning: Spoilers for Extraordinary season 2 episode 1 ahead.*
It only took 12 minutes for Extraordinary season 2 to get real weird real quick with a bizarre Princess Diana scene.
The new season picks up with Jen (Máiréad Tyers) happily in a relationship – but Carrie (Sofia Oxenham) is dealing with her split from Kash (Bilal Hasna).
Carrie is desperate for advice on how to deal with a breakup and, being someone who can talk to the dead, has a whole host of people to choose from to offer guidance.
Chatting away to Jen in the costume shop, Carrie asks: “Do we know anyone who has absolutely smashed a breakup?” with one shining example coming to her – Princess Diana.
As the spirit of the late Princess Diana inhabits Carrie’s body, she adopts the royal’s iconic voice (courtesy of a voice cameo from actress Eve Webster) with ‘Diana’ saying of Kash: “Yes, well he sounds like an absolute little s**t, darling.”
“Ah no, Diana, he’s not that bad,” Jen insists. “He just needs to grow up a bit.”
Shop boss Ange (Darcey Porter-Cassidy) is starstruck and tells Diana: “I closed the shop for a week when you died. Woolworths was open the whole time! Oh, can you sign my plates? Wait here.”
Still eager for advice, Carrie asks: “So, what do you think I should do your highness…? Miss? Mrs? Miss? Princess?”
Diana then advises: “Let’s go total t**t,” before banning Carrie from getting a fringe.
Throughout the series, Carrie also embodies various other deceased figures – prominently, Jen’s father, voiced by comedian Ardal O’Hanlon. However, Princess Diana is certainly the most surprising cameo of the series.

Extraordinary season 2 picks up with Jen on a mission to discover her power after splashing out on sessions at the power clinic. Guided by power coach George (played by The Mighty Boosh’s Julian Barratt), the process is a lot more complicated than she could have imagined.
Meanwhile, Carrie and Kash are grappling with their breakup, while a surprising figure from Jizzlord’s (Luke Rollason) past arrives on the scene.
