Jack Dee: Sent to Siberia, 8.00pm, BBC Two
This is not your typical Saturday night show. Siberia with Jack Dee? Surely worth a look though.
The dead-pan funnyman travels to Russia s most inhospitable environment, where he journeys through the frozen wastelands accompanied by a herd of reindeer.
He begins by learning the basic survival skills needed to set off on the 100km journey, withstanding extreme weather conditions.
A famous comedian is the latest big name to bring his show to Cumbria. Popular TV comic Alan Carr is to appear at The Sands Centre on May 1, 2022. It’s been four years since Alan last went on tour, and in that time he’s managed to find himself in all sorts of dramas. Between his star-studded wedding day and becoming an accidental anarchist, from fearing for his life at border control to becoming a reluctant farmer, three words spring to mind… Not again, Alan. Join Alan on tour as he muses upon the things that make his life weird and wonderful.

During a segment detailing where the covid vaccine had been rolled out in England last night, eagle-eyed viewers noticed a map on a television screen next to presenter Mishal Husain appeared to contain errors. The map showed Bristol located in the south of Wales, while Manchester was pinpointed to be in the sea. Newcastle was also placed on the south-west border of Scotland, rather than the north-east of England.
2020 was a tough year for everyone, but it was particularly devastating for our theatres. Hundreds of shows were cancelled and events at Wycombe Swan that were scheduled to take place before and including January 31 continue to be suspended. But with the roll-out of a coronavirus vaccine underway, these are some of the productions that you can enjoy in 2021 - all being well. Jack Dee: Off The Telly kicks things off at the Wycombe Swan with his much-anticipated stand-up tour coming to town on March 16. Star of TV sitcoms Bad Move, Lead Balloon and Josh, Jack also hosts the legendary Radio 4 show I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue. Additional credits include presenting Jack Dee’s Helpdesk on BBC Two, C4’s The Jack Dee Show, ITV’s Jack Dee’s Saturday Night, BBC’s Jack Dee’s Happy Hour and Jack Dee Live at the Apollo. “In fact,” explains Jack, “I’ve probably appeared in every TV show with my name in the title.”
