Micky Flanagan

Host Jimmy Carr and regular team captains Jon Richardson and Sean Lock present the latest edition of the 13th series of this irreverent comedy panel show based on statistics and opinion polls. Tonight the guests trying to predict the public's responses to the topical issues of the moment are television presenter Tess Daley, newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy, and comedians Micky Flanagan and Hari Kondabolu.

Micky Flanagan: "Thailand's nice - until you chat to a woman who might have a willy".

Comedian Micky Flanagan turns up in The Secret Policeman's Ball (Channel 4, 10pm).

Recorded on Sunday in New York, this latest Amnesty International fundraiser boasts a huge line-up including Russell Brand, Eddie Izzard, Jimmy Carr and stacks of Americans I should probably have heard of.

Coldplay are on it as well, although they tend to only make me laugh if Chris Martin accidentally slams the piano lid on his fingers.

John Prescott was once so rude to me when I was a reporter on a local newspaper that, even 25 years later, I can still hear him screaming. He will definitely go into my Room 101.

Lord Prescott, as he is now, of course, wants to dispose of gurning press pictures of himself that make him look stupid, and footballers' silly goal-celebration dances. Oh, and the title "Lord".

Rebecca Front doubtless speaks for good-mannered people across the land when she says she would banish other people's music (leaky headphones, cab drivers playing power-ballad music stations), while Micky Flanagan can't stand celebrity chefs and Americanisms.

Harry Hill, Kirsty Wark and Noel Edmonds equal laughter, lust and guilt for the comedian and Mad Bad Ad Show panellist.

There's all sorts of weirdness lurking in the depths of the ad industry, and this new panel show exploits it to the full via quiz questions, challenges and banter. Cheeky cockney Micky Flanagan and self-deprecating Mark Watson are team captains and they're joined by Holly Walsh and Joe Wilkinson in an opening episode themed around confectionery.

Mark Dolan presents this ambitious new comedy panel show about the world of advertising. The set-up is as follows: each week, the two team captains - comedians Micky Flanagan and Mark Watson - are joined by an advertising industry insider and a celebrity guest. The teams are then quizzed about adverts from past and present, as well as being challenged to film their own advert, with the studio audience voting for the best. This first edition focuses on public information films, with ITV's bubbly daytime host Lorraine Kelly and the award-winning stand-up Josh Widdicombe as guests. Sadly, no preview discs were available.

New comedy panel show based entirely around commercials. Old ones. New ones. Funneee foreign ones! No previews were available, but we're hazarding a guess that the glory days of 80s advertising will be thoroughly mined (the washing powder ad with the Daily Mail mum and her skinhead son - "Aowww, mum!"). The hilarity will be leavened by pairing Micky Flanagan and Mark Watson's teams with advertising industry insiders who, we're promised, will provide "genuine insight" into the satanic world of marketing.

A quick chat with Micky Flanagan

In his pre-comedy career, Micky Flanagan worked, among other things, as a fish porter and furniture maker. Now the Cockney stand-up is lifting the lid on the world of advertising in a new Channel 4 comedy panel show...
