Review: Paul Sinha

He certainly doesn't shy away from his role on popular quiz show The Chase, although his material chiefly comes from his experiences as a comedian, not a quizzer.

Paul Sinha: I am a better comedian than I was a doctor

Paul Sinha is watched by 3,000,000 every day - but the working world might not be aware of his talents, yet. A qualified GP, one of UK's top quizzers and a comedian, that can't be right, can it?

Paul Sinha: I've met Anjem Choudary

Anjem Choudary was simply happy to spew vile hatred, and it wasn't long before the debate had descended to near chaos.

Entering its second series, Dilemma is a Radio 4 panel game hosted by Sue Perkins where the guests are forced to admit what they'd do in various - unlikely - ethical situations.

In this opening episode Paul Sinha was asked what it would take for him to stop supporting Liverpool FC; the poet Lemn Sissay was queried on plastic surgery; actor Margaret Cabourn-Smith was asked how far she would help her daughter if she was involved in a drunken hit-and-run; and Graeme Garden had to decide if would only watch ITV in order to preserve the BBC's future.

Aside from Lemn Sissay, the panellists all had their moments. But my favourite 'bit' was when the show opened out to the audience, and the panel then had to pass judgement on their dilemma - including a man who was at the show with two women and didn't know which one to take back home after. Safe to say he didn't come off well.

Dilemma's basically just a round-table discussion programme with jokes. It's nowhere near as fierce as other panel shows like Mock the Week, and if you like your panel shows to be a bit more relaxing then Dilemma is one to seek out.
