Ed Byrne and Jo Brand for Great Comic Relief Bake Off

16 new celebrities will be feeling the heat of Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry this February, but at least they'll have four presenters in the Bake Off tent to sweeten the deal. Regular Great British Bake Off presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins will be joined by comedians Ed Byrne and Jo Brand.

Radio Times review

Hal Cruttenden is unashamedly middle-class, which makes his humour a perfect match for Radio 4. There's even a telling reference to this in his new sitcom about a stay-at-home dad, where he advises his children that while being middle-class is definitely "the best", they should not tell their school chums because it will make them sound vulgar.

It's tough to make an impact in the first episode of a new sitcom, but I laughed out loud, several times, and the supporting cast, including Ed Byrne and Ronni Ancona, is top-notch.

Ed Byrne interview

Mock the Week regular Ed Byrne talks about comedy on and off the stage.

Radio Times review

We're now a mighty 13 series into the topical panel show, and Dara O'Briain remains adept at shepherding his guests' reactions to the news - part effective quickfire puns, part Radio 4-friendly cleverness and, yes, part borderline offensive nonsense - into a cohesive whole.

For the comedians who stand in front of Mock the Week's lonely microphone, this isn't a bad summer in which to start a new series. As expectant silence falls around them, the World Cup, immigration rows and the build-up to the Commonwealth Games and Scottish referendum are all there to be clutched at. Tonight, regulars Andy Parsons, Hugh Dennis and our cerebral host are joined by Milton Jones, Ed Byrne and Romesh Ranganathan. Katherine Ryan is the solitary woman.
