Greg Rusedski and Russell Tovey? Gregg Wallace and Russell Grant? Greggs the Bakers and Russell & Bromley? Of all the Greg(g)s and Russells in the world, it's Radio 1 DJ Greg James and comedian Russell Kane who team up to present this new spin on the irreverent chat show theme. The bromantic banter is sprinkled with a selection of celeb guests - tonight the featured talent includes Brit hip-hoppers Rizzle Kicks and the Haitian-American chart-topper, dirty talkin' Jason Derulo.

The inexplicable cult of Russell Kane continues to find a refuge on BBC Three, as the stand-up and his R1 DJ chum Greg James follow Unzipped and How to Win Eurovision with their first chat show.

Staying In is apparently filmed in a mock-up of the 'man den' they would live in if their tiresomely overemphasised bromance was ever consummated.

So celebrity guests including Tinie Tempah, Nicole Scherzinger and Chris 'Thor' Hemsworth can expect to be interviewed in anywhere from the kitchen to the broom cupboard. Sounds unmissable, eh? Poor old BBC Three. While its documentaries, dramas and even comedies have improved stratospherically over time, its entertainment shows are stuck in creative quicksand (Russell Howard's Good News is as wretched as it is popular), trying harder and harder while sinking faster and faster.
