Brand Identity

So two comedy tour de forces collide this evening on BBC Three, as Russell Brand guest stars on Rob Brydon's hilarious skit on panel shows, Annually Retentive.

Not caught the show yet? Here's the blurb all about it..
"Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of a TV panel show? Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive gives you the chance to find out.

Rob Brydon plays the reluctant host of a new history based panel show - Annually Retentive. Is he reluctant because he believes all panel shows except QI are beneath him or because it’s the only job he can get in TV since the acting work dried up? It's up to you to decide...

How do the guests keep getting the answers right? Are those brilliant one-liners spur of the moment? What does Rob Brydon really think of his celebrity guests? And which popular quiz shows did the writers 'borrow' all their ideas from?

Witness the bitching, backstabbing, scheming, feuding, anger, tears and vanity that runs rampant when the cameras aren't rolling..."

Should be a top show tonight. Good to watch Russell Brand on the telly. 'citing.
