Alan Davies' critically-acclaimed chat show will return to Dave with new guests including Melanie C, Sanjeev Baskhar and Dave Johns, to talk all things comedy and entertainment.

The show has had its share of high-profile guests such as Stephen Fry and Sandi Toksvig, but it has also shone a light on new comedians and up-and-coming talent such as Lou Sanders, James Acaster and Romesh Ranganathan. They have all shared stories from their personal life experiences as well as discussing topics such as royalty and bizarre anecdotes.

Alan Davies said: "In this post-truth era, only Dave would dare run a show in which the guests talk openly about events that actually happened. Many famous comedy faces will appear as well as several talented people I've never heard of. Normally, being 50 now, I can't stand meeting new people but thanks to Dave, I'm overcoming that fear."

Senior commissioning editor Iain Coyle also said: “I love this show, it’s consistently brilliant. The combination of seeing a new side to the biggest names in comedy and the show’s continuing commitment to fresh talent, is a credit to the producers.”

Previous series of this show are available to watch on UKTV Play and the brand-new series will start on Dave in February.
