Unless the Mock the Week is vaguely similar to the most recent series it could well be .
The rest of the output means I'm as likely to watch TLC as I was to watch HGTV - not at all.

If true* that could be one programme I'll watch.

* There is a lot of AI generated, bot and lies on Facebook so it may be rubbish.

Edit: Story confirmed in Radio Times.

I am quite partial to travel shows with comedians so I might give Zero Stars a look. I just finished watching a 6 part one with Bill Bailey in Vietnam that was quite good.

Bill Bailey

I missed the proms last year. Over Christmas there was a BBC Four classical highlights of the year and I saw BB playing a typewriter on Last night of the Proms - and later the Royal Albert Hall organ. Not seen him in a travel show. Is there anything BB isn't good at?

I think he may become the new Palin. It was not Bill's fist, he also did Perfect Pub walks with Bill Bailey and Bill Bailey's Australian adventure. I enjoyed both and both are still available on Channel 4 catch up along with several of his stand up shows. If the coffin dodging David Attenborough (100 in May) ever retires he might even get that gig as he is a known conservationist, bird watcher with a menagerie of pets and also did a series about baboons in South Africa some years ago. " Is there anything BB isn't good at? " Maybe not though I do not remember seeing him on bake off or other cooking shows but that may be down to there already being A Bill Bailey's US cooking brand so harder for him to monetise .

Especially at the Proms where it was shorter than my avatar's hair.

Playing the typewriter. His performance at the proms was considerably worse than last time I saw that piece performed, with a percussionist doing duties much better on the typewriter.
