Former Bake Off participants will fight for the name Christmas Star Baker with judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood and presenters Matt Lucas and Tom Allen

Let’s hope that now that his first series is over, Matt Lucas really feels at home in the tent because he won’t have Noel Fielding to lead him for this Christmas special. Instead, Bake Off is: The professional moderator and Extra Slice regular Tom Allen is presenting tasks together. They will be joined by Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, as well as four former candidates, Jamie and Rosie from 2019, Ruby from 2018 and James from 2017, who will compete for the title of Christmas Star Baker. There will be a guest appearance by Alexandra Burke performing her version of Silent Night.

ROB Brydon takes on another edition of the hilarious panel show. Regular team captains Lee Mack and David Mitchell are also in attendance and are accompanied by Jo Brand, Joe Lycett, Joe Swash and Ruth Madeley. Highlights include Lycett’s efforts to convince everyone he fell out with his family of the famous « doof-doofs » at the end of EastEnders.

After a three-year absence from our screens, Linda Robson and Lesley Joseph are back as Tracey and Dorien, but all is not well. The last time we saw her, Tracey had reluctantly sold the house they all shared to Dorien, but now they’re getting on each other’s nerves.

It doesn’t help that Sharon is stuck on the other side of the world trapped on an endless cruise during the coronavirus panic. Les Dennis appears as Dorien’s new flame Graeme, while Ami Metcalf appears as Jordan, Tracey’s young friend.

Unfortunately, there’s no sign of her sitcom returning anytime soon, but it’s good to see Miranda Hart back on the box. A few years ago she interviewed her hero Bruce Forsyth for the When Miranda Met Bruce program – and now she’s putting on a one-off show that he would probably have been proud to have featured.

In fact, it has a reference to The Generation Game. She will be escorted by three celebrity couples from the comfort of their homes to take part in a range of incredible challenges.

On the 28th. September 1990 aired a pilot for a new satirical comedy show on BBC Two. Chaired by Angus Deayton with team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton, Sandi Toksvig and Kate Saunders were the panelists on the first episode of Have I Got News For You.

Ian and Paul look back on three decades as the father of all satirical panel shows, with contributions from Germaine Greer, Gary Lineker, Victoria Coren Mitchell, Ken Livingstone and Alexander Armstrong.
