In a different setting, it's easy to imagine Rob Brydon being persuasive, teasing the most difficult and troubling of secrets away from celeb bosoms.

A lively half-hour chat show is not the place for that, however. So as it returns for a third series, Rob contents himself with comedy talk from Michael McIntyre and festival talk with Alex James, who's about to run a food and music event with Jamie Oliver on his Oxfordshire estate. Lovers of chat-show bingo should fill their game cards with the words "Blur", "farm" and "cheese".

Music comes from the racing car-loving Scottish singer Amy Macdonald.

Rob Brydon's chat show - an engaging mixture of the comfy and the surreal - returns for a third series. Whether Brydon has been persuaded to part with the bright brown shoes he inexplicably wears with his smart blue suit remains to be seen. His guests include comedian Michael McIntyre, and cheese-making Telegraph columnist and Blur bassist, Alex James, with Scottish singer Amy MacDonald performing her new single.
