Steps

For comedy fans with a flexible quality threshold, here's another hour-sized chunk of chat from Chez Brown. Agnes and family shuffle up the sofa to make way for choirmaster Gareth Malone and singer Peter Andre, Nick Knowles joins Dermot and Buster's Celebrity Boat Tour, while Foley's pub clears out the snug for a performance by Steps. Light entertainment? Light on entertainment, more like.

ITV hasn't nailed the formula for a late-night chat show (although Dermot O'Leary is giving The Nightly Show a pretty good crack), but it's hard to fault its ability to put on a mainstream variety show - if you like that sort of thing. The scheduling feels odd (surely this is one for the weekend?), but the line-up ticks a few boxes. Joining the host, Bradley Walsh, are the Brit award-winning singer Emeli Sande; the magician Pete Firman; the returning pop ensemble Steps, performing their comeback single Scared of the Dark, Ben Forster singing The Music of the Night from The Phantom of the Opera; and talent from the Chinese State Circus, who will leave mouths agape.
