Comedy for quitters

A tight 5: October 22

LEE NELSON is to host a live stand-up gig on YouTube to mark the end of Stoptober, the four-week quit smoking challenge. Also performing on the show, which airs from 7pm next Tuesday October 28, are Adam Hess, Katie Mulgrew, Phil Wang and Paul McCaffrey. Watch here.

IAIN STIRLING has been nominated for a children's Bafta for best presenter for his work hosting CBBC quiz The Dog Ate My Homework. In the comedy section, 4 O’Clock Club, Diddy Movies 2, Dnn: Definitely Not Newsround and All At Sea have all been shortlisted.

Russell Howard says America has no interest in taking his Good News show. 'We've tried to get it to like BBC America, but they're not having it,' he told Radio 1's Newsbeat. 'We tried so hard but then oddly, I did a tour of America, and loads of people watch it on YouTube anyway.'

MEL GIEDROYC is to host a new Sky 1 new entertainment show, Relatively Clever, a quiz that pits families against each other in knockout rounds. Seven half-hour episodes are to air in an 8pm slot next year.

PICTURES have been published from the set of the new Dad's Army movie in today's Daily Mirror.
