Not content with hosting many an antique sitcom, Gold now plays home to an antiques sitcom. Leathery lothario Rupert Bull (Robert Lindsay) runs an antique shop alongside laconic chain-smoking sister Beverley (Maureen Lipman), his lofty ambitions counterweighted by his staggering ineptitude. Following confusion between eggs of the free-range and Fabergé variety, a plan must be hastily concocted in order to placate moneyed customer Mr Richards. A primo cast deserve better than what is an underbaked script.

Review - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Savoy Theatre)

The first thing to say is: it's a dream partnership. Robert Lindsay and Rufus Hound as a pair of vulgar, deceitful, skirt-chasing conmen on the French Riviera tear up the stage, and the good taste rulebook, in this effervescent Broadway musical comedy.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels heads for London's stage

Frank Oz's classic film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was first adapted for the Broadway stage in 2005, picking up a clutch of awards and nominations. Now it's scamming its way to the West End, and stars Rufus Hound and Robert Lindsay.

Radio Times review

Actors Robert Lindsay and Rufus Hound appear as a duo tonight to discuss their upcoming performance in the West End version of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - no doubt Ross will be quizzing them on how scheming they can be in real life. Stand-up comedian Seann Walsh, who is about to embark on his Lie-in-King tour, has kindly got out of bed to share some banter on the sofa as well.

It'll be interesting to see if Ross can rap along in time to Tinie Tempah, who will be performing live. Let's hope Tinie doesn't completely overshadow fresh-off-the-production-line X Factor winner Sam Bailey, who will also be taking the stage.

The first series of Alistair Beaton's Electric Ink, originally broadcast in 2009, gets a welcome airing on Radio 4 Extra, with Robert Lindsay as the curmudgeonly Maddox Bradley, an ageing broadsheet journalist with an aversion to the technological revolution bearing down on him like an unstoppable avalanche.

His editor (Alex Jennings) insists he should contribute a blog to the paper's website, and launch his own podcast. "You must embrace the digital age," Jennings orders him. Maddox replies, "Couldn't I just wave to it from the other side of the room?"

A Bafta winner and nominated for (but didn't win) an International Emmy last month, this espionage comedy caper certainly has its admirers even if some may find it overly silly. That said, the cast cannot be faulted, chief among them are the excellent Darren Boyd as the hapless, accidental spy Tim, and Robert Lindsay as his maniac boss, "The Examiner". In tonight's episode Tim gets just the required push needed to try to rekindle his romance with fellow spook Caitlin (Rebekah Staton) after he discovers he's on an assassin's hit list. Meanwhile, the precocious Marcus (the often scene-stealing Jude Wright), finds the perfect moment to humiliate a rival at school as he again seeks the affections of Justine (Ellie Hopkins).
