Rob
will be making a few appearances on TV and Radio during the
Christmas period. Here's what we have to look forward to.
Oliver
Twist 18th
- 21st December - 8pm (8:30 on 21st)- BBC 1 Drama
adaptation of Charles Dickens' much-loved tale of a young orphan
boy. Having endured a miserable and brutal childhood, Oliver is sold
to a local undertaker where his mistreatment forces him to escape to
London. Once in the capital, he is welcomed into the seductive world
of pick-pocketing by the criminal underworld and, before long, is in
deep trouble with the law.
Heston
Blumenthal's Perfect Christmas 19th
December - 8pm - BBC 2 Heston
makes a Christmas feast for Terry Wogan, Kirsty Wark, Dara O'Briain,
Rob Brydon, Richard E Grant and Sue Perkins. The guests are given
hot/cold mulled wine and 'Christmas baubles' filled with salmon
mousse. His guests have no idea what to expect: when a panel is
removed to display the dining table, nestled within a Narnian
Christmas tree forest. Humph
In Wonderland 25th
December - Midday - BBC Radio 2 The
team from I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue present their own unique take
on Lewis Carroll's most famous work, casting their reluctant
chairman Humphrey Lyttelton in the title role. Featuring Tony Hawks,
Sandi Toksvig, Tim Brooke- Taylor, Graeme Garden, Barry Cryer, Andy
Hamilton, Rob Brydon, Jeremy Hardy, Jack Dee and Colin Sell on the
piano.
The
Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2007 30th
December 2007 - 9pm - Channel 4 It's
the return of Channel 4's legendary annual star-studded
entertainment fest, the Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2007 hosted by
Jimmy Carr, with celebrity teams including Jonathan Ross, Rob Brydon,
Russell Brand, Noel Fielding, David Mitchell and Lily Allen. Each of the celebrities will battle
it out to see who knows the most about what hit the headlines this
year, tackling questions such as "Can you name the famous
scientist who defied gravity this year?", "Which London
landmark met with a fiery end?" and "Who starred in an
advert from beyond the grave?". It's
quite early in the month, so some of these dates and times might
change.

Corrected the date and time for the Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2007.
