Brendan O'Carroll's mammy welcomes more guests for japes and single entendre. Tonight's lucky recipients of Mrs Brown's wit are Marvin and Rochelle Humes and Alan Davies, while Wayne Bridge delivers footballing wisdom. Picture This provide musical relief from the panto fun.

Chortling boob McIntyre is joined this week by former Saturday Rochelle Humes and her fella, Marvin. They hand over their phones for the weekly Send to All skit, while Jason Manford turns in a quick snippet of standup and another man, coincidentally also called Marvin - this one's a horse trainer - becomes the "unexpected star of the show", a hidden camera palaver worthy of Noel Edmonds's heyday. Make of that what you will.

Sweat The Small Stuff interview

As the BBC3 panel show returns for a fourth series, Grimmy, Rochelle Humes and Melvin O'Doom talk nightmareish pranks, awkwardness, dream guests and Joan Rivers.

Because what the world needs now is not love, sweet love, as extolled by Burt Bacharach, but another panel show. This one is hosted by Radio 1's breakfast disc jockey Nick "Grimmy" Grimshaw. In an unusual meeting of brands, Kiss FM's Rickie & Melvin and Rochelle Humes from the Saturdays helm the teams, which explore the titular small issues of the day with some special guests. It's already bagged a second series before the commencement of the first, something even Alan Partridge never achieved.

In a light-hearted escape from the bigger picture - global warming, economic meltdown and the like - BBC Radio 1 Breakfast presenter Nick 'Grimmy' Grimshaw steps out from behind his mic to host a weekly panel show designed to shift our focus. He'll be joshing us into fretting over the small things in life that are really worth losing sleep over, such as whether or not to accept your mum's friend request on Facebook. With a couple of team captains - radio rivals Rickie Haywood-Williams and Melvin Odoom from Kiss FM - and an assorted gaggle of guests, including regular fixture Rochelle Humes from The Saturdays, Grimshaw has a ball with the week's less newsworthy items.

Perkily tonsured Radio 1 Breakfast Show host Nick Grimshaw is a busy man these days. Not content with getting up at stupid o'clock every morning to drag the nation's youngsters out of their beds, he's also undertaking this new project. It's filming close to transmission so no preview material was available. But what we're dealing with is, essentially, a new panel show.

Every week, Grimshaw will be joined by Kiss FM DJs and team captains Rickie and Melvin, and regular guest Rochelle Humes from The Saturdays. They'll be exploring pet hates and irrational personal obsessions - in other words, the smallest issues of the day. We suspect this could go either way. Grimshaw's a likeable chap, but there are so many panel shows these days that a new one is going to struggle to really distinguish itself.

Life's daily dilemmas are in the spotlight in a new panel show presented by Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw. "We discuss little worries that take over your life," he explains. "Like whether to accept your mother on Facebook, or can I be drunk at a family function, or go to a Justin Bieber concert as an adult male and legitimately enjoy it?" Episodes are being recorded close to transmission, but we're promised quick-witted silliness from Grimshaw and his team captains Rickie and Melvin from Kiss FM and Rochelle Humes of the Saturdays.
