It's about time that someone devised a lighthearted panel show involving a bunch of British comedians - and, thankfully, Channel 4 have stepped in to fill the gaping void with this new series. Hosted by Griff Rhys Jones, with Marcus Brigstocke and Charlie Baker as regular captains, it is, as Jones admits, a "nostalgia fest", in which the teams are presented with clips of archive news footage from decades past, with all their attendant horrors of industrial strife and terrible haircuts, and attempt to show off their memories of current affairs past - both momentous and trivial.

Lee Nelson, whose thunderously unfunny Well Good Show sank on BBC3 last year, gets another shot at the big time, acting as compere for gaggle of up and coming British comedians in the BBC's specially designed Edinburgh auditorium. Regular BBC3 viewers will recognise a fair few of the wide-eyed, hyperactive standups on show here, including Charlie Baker, David O'Doherty and Russell Kane, who seems to be on just about everything at the moment.

And the wedding band play - Charlie Baker

What's great about the Fringe is when people use it to try their hands at something new. Stand-up Charlie Baker is no stranger to acting, but this is the first time he's dabbled with writing a play, taking his short career in a wedding band as inspiration. We caught up with Charlie to discuss the show, what its like to be a playwright, and how his comedy career has helped his theatrical projects.
