The Good, The Bad And The Unexpected

Series 11, Episode 4

This week Nark Nelson's panel is a group of unlikely newcomers. Sanjeev Kohli describes how he was nominated for an unexpected award aged 51, as well as rising to the challenge of the Wheel of Puns. Dominic Holland has no illusions that he's been eclipsed by his web-slinging son in recent years, and manages to upset one of the country's eldest stateswoman of comedy. Completing the line up is stand-up, actor and writer Susan Riddell, whose exercise regime re-awakens something inside her, and warns against getting a last minute hair appointment on a Saturday morning.
