Sandi Toksvig tackles ageing

It is one of the most talked-about problems facing the acting profession: the dearth of parts for once-lauded actresses as they get older. While in wider society, the ageing population is left overlooked and underestimated in a country not famed for its respect towards the elderly. But both issues could find an unexpected solution, it appears, as comedian Sandi Toksvig announces a new play starring a troupe of elderly ladies and a life-and-death rescue mission.

Sandi Toksvig opens up about her sexuality

"I didn't want my kids to grow up thinking there was anything to be ashamed of having two mums."

Return of the unscripted show in which comic guests tell anecdotes and generally wibble on. First up, Stephen Fry, Sandi Toksvig, Sara Pascoe and Alex Edelman swap stories. Even if you''e minded to be cynical about letting comedians chatter so, the format works, principally because the intimate everyone-sitting-at-a-table setup makes it a kind of anti-Mock The Week - reflective rather than competitive. Continues all week.

Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled - series 4 review

The best thing about As Yet Untitled is the relaxed atmosphere. It is not a show about who has the best story to tell. It is a show that is about conversation.

Sandi Toksvig: Live! Politically Incorrect - review

Those hoping for a jolly night out with a national treasure will certainly not be disappointed however, do be prepared to have your political fibres twanged. Toksvig makes many compelling arguments and clearly has such faith in her cause. Though, if you just want to ask her about Whose Line is it Anyway?, that's okay too.

Sandi Toksvig on coming out

The presenter talked of "very dark times" when she went public with her sexuality in 1994.

The nation's favourite national treasure, Stephen Fry, has finally called time on QI (BBC Two).

Where would we have been without Fry's QI? The quirky quiz has been correcting our misconceptions for 13 years and over 180 episodes. How else would we have known that Darwin ate owls, the moon smells of gunpowder, Cinderella's slippers were made of squirrel fur and that Henry VIII had two wives (or four if you're Catholic)?

QI has been a pedant's paradise and has probably been the cause of more pub fights on 'quiz night' than any of the beer served. It will continue with Sandi Toksvig in the chair, but only time will tell whether the chemistry of Fry and Alan Davies will be replicated. My guess is Davies will give it a go to the end of the series and then bow out himself. Only time - and ratings - will tell.
