Gilligan's confident comedy chatshow has been unpredictable and fun so far, mixing eclectic lineups with musical and comic set pieces in a way that is fresh without being revolutionary. Interacting with both the host and the audience tonight are Kelis, Joe Lycett and Maya Jama.

BBC, 15th May 2019The breezy, slightly bonkers consumer affairs show finishes, although given successes such as getting Uber Eats to review its safety standards, here's hoping it's back soon.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 8th May 2019Stacey Dooley is the celebrity guest on another edition of Lycett's intensely light-hearted take on consumer affairs.
