Press
Jimmy Carr is your host for this enduring takeover of the afternoon quiz show format by the near-the-knuckle satire show. Alan Carr is the big-name guest, but there should be some good stuff from Cariad Lloyd and Kevin Bridges as well. Joining staunch good sport Susie Dent in the dictionary corner, meanwhile, are Radio X's weekend double act Elis James and John Robins, who seem likely to find just the right tone.

It's two Carrs for the price of one tonight as Alan Carr appears as a guest team captain on a new series of the panel/game show mash-up.
