Katherine Ryan

Confrontational comic Frankie will be joined by regulars Katherine Ryan and Sara Pascoe plus a couple of as-yet-unnamed guests as he continues to explore, in his customarily barbed style, the bewildering election aftermath. Conversation and poetic monologues (witness Boyle's takedown of May the other week) will revolve round the continuing nightmare that is Brexit, and whatever other horrific flashpoints spring up in between.

Boyle's shift into socio-political commentary hasn't blunted his tongue, and these days he's on far more entertaining form than when he was merely shocking for shock's sake. With a recent election and ever-obliging Donald Trump in the mix, there will be ample news-based chaos for him - and guests Katherine Ryan and Sara Pascoe, plus an interactive audience - to comb through for darkly comic common sense.

Jimmy Carr and Katherine Ryan are the hosts in this vacuous couples' challenge. While Ryan is warm and funny, Carr showcases his superior attitude, as if he has forgotten why he agreed to present the show. After the audience rank both celebrities and civilians from "hottest to nottest", the couple in question must try to guess who they think is better looking. Even the most devoted watcher of shallow telly will find it uncomfortable.

Your Face Or Mine: a dating show that's rotten

Jimmy Carr and Katherine Ryan's revived gameshow could easily be mistaken for an episode of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror.

Preview - Your Face or Mine?

You may ask yourself why Comedy Central thought it was a good idea to revive a somewhat forgotten E4 comedy game show that ended nearly 15 years ago. To be honest, I haven't got an answer.

Was anyone really demanding a reboot of the early-2000s E4 gameshow inspired by the Am I Hot Or Not internet craze? Here it is anyway, with Katherine Ryan and original host Jimmy Carr inviting couples to nuke their relationship by rating the relative sex appeal of celebs, strangers and each other for cash prizes. Judging by the fun opening double bill, it's funnier and more spontaneous than the similarly looks-obsessed Take Me Out.

Your Face Or Mine preview

Jimmy Carr and Katherine Ryan have good chemistry together and Your Face Or Mine gives them plenty of scope to show off off their comic chops. I certainly enjoyed it. Please don't judge me.

Following a one-off episode as part of Channel 4's Fake News Week (it even managed to seed some of its own fake news, many outlets picking up its made-up story about Kanye West planning an appearance on Pointless), The Fake News Show gets a proper series. Stephen Mangan hosts the panel show that aims to separate the alternative facts from the alternative fiction, with help from captains Katherine Ryan and Richard Osman.
