Bellamy's People
Bellamy's People reunites Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson for their first television collaboration in 10 years.
After his massively successful BBC Radio 4 debut on Down The Line, hapless radio talk show host Gary Bellamy makes the transition to BBC Two. Jumping into his Triumph Stag "personality vehicle", Gary travels the length and breadth of the land meeting the people of Britain and trying to find out what makes them tick.
Paul and Charlie are joined by a talented ensemble of players, including Rhys Thomas, Lucy Montgomery, Simon Day and Felix Dexter, to take on a gamut of quintessentially British characters, including a 23-stone man who rarely leaves his bed; a pair of aristocratic sisters with an unhealthy love of totalitarian regimes; a barely reformed celebrity criminal; Christians, Muslims; and a host of other characters that make up modern Britain.

Roger & Val Have Just Got In
Alfred Molina and Dawn French star in a brand-new two-hander comedy, focusing on the lives of a middle-aged couple in the first half-hour after they arrive home from work.
Alfred plays botanist Roger and Dawn plays food technology teacher Val in this original comedy examining what happens to a marriage when long-buried emotions are reawakened.
Developed from an original idea by Dawn French, Roger & Val Have Just Got In is written by Emma and Beth Kilcoyne (Dogtown).

The Bubble
Hosted by David Mitchell, The Bubble is a comedy quiz which plays on the fact that some news stories are so hard to believe you'd think they'd been made up for a joke. In this show some of them have.
Three celebrity contestants are locked away in a media-free zone for four days – The Bubble. When they're brought into the studio they are shown a series of news reports or images from TV, newspapers and celebrity gossip magazines. All they have to do is identify the true stories from the fakes. Because they've been away and out of touch – just like when you come back from holiday – they'll believe almost anything.
The contestants are a mixture of comedians, smart celebrities and wild-card bookings.

Mock The Week
As 2010 threatens to gaudily end the millennium's first decade with the gifts of an England World Cup victory, a General Election and maybe even a Katie and Peter reunion album, Dara O'Briain and his crack Mock The Week squad are back for an eighth series.
Returning early next year, the top-rated comedy entertainment programme maintains its unique mix of quiz, stand-up performance and topical discussion.
