Peter Kay adds another Car Share date

A tight 5: March 3

PETER KAY has added a second advance screening of his BBC One series Car Share after selling out the first. He will now introduce all six episodes of the sitcom at the Blackpool Opera House on March 27 and 28, in aid of Derian House Children's Hospice. TED ROBBINS has left hospital following his collapse on stage at the first night of Phoenix Nights Live at Manchester Arena on January 31. In his first interview since leaving the ward, the 59-year-old comic, who suffered a cardiac arrest, told BBC Radio Lancashire's Graham Liver: 'It makes you appreciate life absolutely. Every little thing from the snowdrops coming through to your family.' CRAIG FERGUSON is to star in an American comedy pilot The King Of 7B. In the show for the ABC network, the Scottish-born former talk show host plays Prentiss Porter, an agoraphobe who takes his first steps into the outside world in 11 years. DAVID O'DOHERTY, Katherine Ryan, Nick Helm, Luisa Omielan and Alex Edelman have been added to the comedy line-up at the Latitude Festival, in addition to the 50 names Chortle revealed yesterday. Giacinto Palmieri won the £100 for the best Chortle Correspondents submission in February for his article about international comedy. Click here to find out how you could contribute.
