Some chat show interviews don't go anywhere, but that can't be said of Robert Llewellyn's new talk show. That's because he picks up his interviewees and gives them a lift to wherever they want. How we didn't want to label this Robert Llewellyn's new vehicle. Alas, we're just not that strong. What is fresh, though, is Robert's approach to the chat show, as he gives his guests - who include Jason Manford, Rob Brydon and David Baddiel - a ride to wherever they fancy in return for a natter along the way.

David Baddiel: from stand-up to Saul Bellow

He's traded the one-liners for novels and screenplays, but while he can't stop telling jokes - about being a Jew or a bloke - writing has helped him find peace.

David Baddiel will give you goosebumps as he delivers a scary yet comical story in this entertaining show. Today, his character, Vincenzo Larfoff, reveals the secrets of the Victorian Freak Show - a nice contrast with the TV spoofs. News at 1066, for instance, reports live by Bayeux Tapestry, although presenter Dagbert Broadaxe has to apologise for the delay in the pictures. Plus some miserable troubadour songs and a Georgian pinching competition.

David Baddiel, The Guardian, 22nd April 2010

A well-deserved second series for Charlie Brooker's vitriolic panel show, which vents its spleen on the best and worst of the week's crop of telly. It's essentially a more mainstream format of Brooker's show Screenwipe - although not as mainstream as the BBC's similar effort, As Seen On TV - which was more of a projectile vomit than a TV burp.

YHBW is usually a good place to catch up with all those digital TV oddities that might have escaped your attention while you were watching Countryfile.

On this week's show Liza Tarbuck, David Baddiel and Scottish comedian Kevin Bridges will be trying to score points and attempting to work up the same head of amusing, free-flowing rage that Brooker manages so effortlessly.
