Sara Cox Interviews Joe Lycett
±«Óãtv Radio and TV presenter Sara Cox talks to comedian and TV host Joe Lycett in the talk tag show. From February 2017.
Return of the hostless chat show - as presenter Sara Cox interviews comedian Joe Lycett.
Chain Reaction is the talk show with a twist where one week's interviewee becomes the next week's interviewer.
John Cleese was first in the hot seat back in 1991 and since then, a procession of big names from the world of comedy and entertainment including Jennifer Saunders, Jarvis Cocker and Eddie Izzard have helped continue the chain.
Since the early days of The Girlie Show on Channel 4, Sara Cox has gone on to become one of the UK's best loved presenters. She is perhaps most well-known for her radio work as former Radio 1 Breakfast Show presenter and currently in her Drivetime show on ±«Óãtv Radio 2.
Her regular TV and radio appearances have included hosting ±«Óãtv 2's Great Pottery Throw Down, appearing on myriad panel shows, pressing the nation's collective nostalgia button every Friday night as one time presenter Radio 2 Sounds of the 80s show, Morning Live and Sara now also has two novels and a memoir published.
Sara's interview pick is Joe Lycett because "he makes me happy" and because someone needed to finally chart his much discussed journey "from Birmingham to 10th hottest man in the world".
Joe is a stand-up comedian who some know as "the parking fine man" from 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown while others celebrate him for any number of acclaimed live tours and festival shows that have delighted the British comedy viewing public in recent years.
This programme not only confirms that Joe is a man who can famously write a show title - "That's the Way A Ha A Ha, Joe Lycett" and "If Joe Lycett Then You Should Have Put a Ring On It" to name just two - but also hints at a addictive fondness for baths.
