U2, Take That, Steve Coogan, Slaves, Saoirse Ronan

Chris Evans follows up his one-off edition aired in June, with the first of a brand new series of the lively entertainment show mixing music and chat with stunts and skits, featuring U2, Take That, Steve Coogan, Slaves and Saoirse Ronan in its opening line-up. Despite ongoing commitments to Radio 2 and now BBC Two's Top Gear, the host has managed to find time to schedule this new set of programmes into his busy diary, and it will be interesting to see whether the unpredictable, wild nature of the former incarnation can be replicated on an ongoing basis.
