Panel show about comic's 'strong ideas'

Jon Richardson is being lined up to host a new panel show for Radio 4.

The comic – and 6 Music presenter – is to record a pilot episode of It’s Debatable next month, in which he has to persuade the audience that an apparently far-fetch idea is, in fact, only sensible.

A spokesman for the show said: ‘Being an OCD sufferer Jon has strong views about life’

The show is being made by Open Mike Productions, the sister company to agents Off The Kerb, who represent Richardson.

See our free tickets page to be in the audience for the London recording.
