Celebs design their ideal tropical getaway
Tom Allen is to front a new Dave panel show in which comedians will devise their dream desert island.
In The Island, Allen will be joined by fellow comedians Kemah Bob and Jason Forbes to bring reports from the islands the guests are describing to ensure there are no unforeseen circumstances.

The format for the shows, which will run for eight hour-long episodes later this year, was devised by comics James Acaster, Ed Gamble, Lloyd Langford and John Robins.

Cars come and go from the Village Fuel Depot across the road, where an attendant moves in and out servicing those in need of a refill.
