Ivo Graham's Obsessions is coming to Radio 4, resurrecting the format previously hosted by Joe Lycett, in which guests share their secret passions.
Joe Lycett's Obsessions ran across two series between 2018 to 2020.
The producers say: "Stand-up comedian Ivo Graham brings back a beloved Radio 4 format for a new audience. Obsessions sees a panel of celebrities sharing their secret obsessions with the listener, and have them celebrated, challenged and dissected by the host.
"Obsessions brings together a panel of unlikely bedfellows with even more unlikely interests, and we find out what hidden passions, knowledge or collections some well-known people hold close to their hearts.
"Each week alongside the panel, Ivo seeks out the VOP (Very Obsessed Person) of the week, to celebrate their truly extraordinary passions. Ivo also quizzes the audience to find out what the Great British public are obsessed with at the moment."
A recording is due to take place on Tuesday 30th April at RADA Studios in London. Free tickets
