It's pretty much a Bake Off special this week as Ross quizzes judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith and presenter Noel Fielding about the current series of the cookery show. OK, so there's no Sandi Toksvig, but comedy awaits courtesy of Mo Gilligan and music is supplied by Olly Murs.

British Comedy Guide, 22nd August 2018Channel 4 orders new series hosted by Mo Gilligan
Channel 4 has ordered Mo's Show, a new comedy entertainment series hosted by stand-up comedian Mo Gilligan.
British Comedy Guide, 22nd August 2018Less a chatshow, more a vehicle for its host's outsized personality, The Big Narstie Show has been a qualified success. Given that comparable programmes often feel like little more than a parade of promotional messages, it has been refreshing to see guests treated as props rather than flattered. Narstie is a winningly unpredictable presence, while his wingman, Mo Gilligan, keeps proceedings roughly anchored to convention. The series concludes with Narstie hitting the road.

In the run-up to the Edinburgh Festival our comedy critic Dominic Maxwell ranks the funniest comics working now.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 21st July 2018Big Narstie and Mo Gilligan's anarchic chemistry continues to grow as the late-night chatshow continues. Narstie's charm means he gets away with more than most and guests hoping for an easy time promoting their latest gig get more than they bargained for. So far, they've been good-humoured in the face of this onslaught.
Hannah Verdier, The Guardian, 20th July 2018Mo Gilligan at Latitude
If you're looking for someone to follow in the footsteps of observational comics such as Lee Mack or Peter Kay, you need not look much further than Gilligan. And you probably won't have to wait much longer until he's as famous as those forebears, either.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 14th July 2018Craig David's wingman Big Narstie and his charismatic co-host Mo Gilligan present another slice of post-pub TV. Narstie heads out on the road to spread his own unique brand of joy to the nation, while big name guests join him and Gilligan in the studio. Who needs Graham Norton and his starry sofa when these two huge personalities are in action?
