Dave's new hospital-based sitcom launches on Dave on Wednesday, with Ed Easton from sketch group Gein's Family Gift Shop, Chewing Gum's Susan Wokoma, Line Of Duty's Claudia Jessie and the legend that is Rutger Hauer.

The political comedy podcast returned yesterday with a panel comprising comedian Grainne Maguire, Mail on Sunday pundit Dan Hodges and the editor of Politics.co.uk Ian Dunt.
