Tom Jones (II)

It's not the first time Rob Brydon has fronted his own chat show. Back in 2004, he hosted a spoof version under his alias of Keith Barret. Now he's playing it straight - so you can forgive his first guests for some confusion - especially after Brydon opens by treating his audience to his bizarre impression of Pingu.

"Is it meant to be a comedy show?" asks David Walliams as he considers the best way to reply to a question about his marriage. Pre-recorded on a stage that's been dressed to resemble a gentlemen's club (the traditional kind with bookcases, not lapdancers, I hasten to add) this is a tame, low-wattage affair compared to The Paul O'Grady Show over on ITV1. But Brydon's talent for impersonation also leads to an unusual duet with his other guest, his hero Sir Tom Jones.

Here's a fun game to play while watching Rob Brydon's new chat and variety show featuring David Walliams and Tom Jones - impression bingo! Tick them off as he does them to win a fabulous prize! Ronnie Corbett, Terry Wogan, Alec Guinness and, best of all, Tiny Man In A Box. Got them all? You win! Your prize is that you have just watched Rob Brydon's new chat and variety show featuring David Walliams and Tom Jones. And if you watched it after the new Paul O'Grady chat and variety show, may God have mercy on your soul.
