Jon Richardson helps Aylesbury man raise charity funds

A man with a rare muscle-wasting condition has praised the support of a famous comedian, who has put on a charity show in his honour to raise funds.

There are panel shows galore tonight, and Pointless's Richard Osman hosts the most ambitious of all, assessing the best of the decade in the five categories of film, television show, song, celebrity and "new thing". Celebrity guests who will be arguing out their top choices include Jon Richardson, Lorraine Kelly, Alex Brooker and Rhianna Dhillon, while viewers can have their own say via a Twitter poll in the run-up to the show. Will Malala win celebrity of the decade, or will it be Kanye West?

Did you hear about the comics sharing a flat at Fringe?

Performing at the fringe can cost a fortune - little wonder so many comics bunk in together. We drop in on Jon Richardson, Rose Matafeo and Josie Long, among others, to see how they live.

Viewers upset over censorship of Ultimate Worrier

Fans have expressed their frustration that many four-letter words were obscured in Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier when it returned to Dave last night. The show aired after the 10pm watershed - and immediately after Taskmaster, which did not have its language censored.

This whimsical show, built in the neurotic but sharp-witted image of its host, returns for a second series. Given that Richardson has made a career out of being a fusspot, it probably shouldn't be a surprise that the format has been tweaked. The panel discussing their anxieties has expanded from two to three - kicking off with Joe Wilkinson, Kiri Pritchard-McLean and, bravely, Richardson's wife, Lucy Beaumont - and there is a new "Worry Lab" area to allow for extra slapstick.
