Further details
Comedian and unexpected ballroom dancing star Bill Bailey, comic Tom Allen and TV presenter AJ Odudu share their embarrassing teenage stories with host Rhod Gilbert.
Who will win the coveted title of Most Embarrassing Teenager - will it be Bill and his ability to make himself sound like a vacuum cleaner, Tom and his obsession with Elton John or AJ and her inappropriate Christina Aguilera tribute?
Rhod reveals one of his own long forgotten hairstyles and an adolescent obsession with video games, as well as uncovering some past pop culture time sadly hasn't forgotten - what were the most baffling trends, worst TV shows and most irritating music while his guests were growing up?
In a surprise for the guests, Rhod has spoken to friends and family who knew them as teenagers and shares some mortifying morsels they would probably rather he hadn't got hold of. And finally, what advice would they give to a teenage them with the benefit of hindsight? And would the teenage them listen, or just reply 'blah blah blah'?
