Cleese, Walliams, Carr in new John Bishop series

The guests have been announced for the third series of John Bishop: In Conversation With... on the W Channel.

There's something comforting about Sky 1's pleasant dramedy, which is returning for a stand-alone finale. Sally Lindsay holds the whole thing together as Lisa, while the ensemble cast including Paula Wilcox and Samantha Womack buzz around. Now Lisa's been offered a job in Milton Keynes, will she leave her friends and her business behind? Meanwhile, her mother-in-law Pauline is tempted to revisit the past when old rocker Callum rolls into town.

Three girlies and their 'laddish' neighbour all live in St John's Wood. Lamentable ITV sitcom from 1998 starring Karl Howman (the geezer from the Flash ads who was Jacko in equally pathetic 1980s comedy Brush Strokes). The 'babes' included a pre-EastEnders Samantha Janus and Denise Van Outen. It had absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. About as funny as nailing your own foot to the floor.
