Preview: Live At The Apollo, BBC2
When a show is on its thirteenth series it would be understandable if it was starting to look a bit tired and ragged around the edges. But Live at the Apollo has survived a move - some might say relegation - from BBC1 to BBC2 and established a format that works well and could last for some time yet.

There is none of that in episode one, just wall-to-wall all killer no filler genuine laughs.
