Jon Richardson hosting new Radio 4 pilot

Jon Richardson is to take the host's chair for the pilot of a new Radio 4 panel show.

In the show, It's Debateable, Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Richardson will have to convince the audience that seemingly far-fetched or badly thought-out ideas are actually sensible.

The pilot will be recorded at the Drill Hall in central London next month and marks another step up in the broadcast world for the Lancashire-born comic, who currently presents The Jon Richardson Show on BBC 6 Music every Sunday between 10am and 1pm.

The show is being produced by Open Mike Productions, the sister company of Richardson's agents Off The Kerb.

The OCD-suffering comic was nominated for the main Edinburgh Comedy Award last month for his show This Guy At Night.
