Did Strictly make a mistake by casting three presenters? Who would Richard cast as the next Traitors? Is the BBC erasing comedy history?

Strictly Come Dancing’s new presenting setup has seen headlines claiming the show is in ‘crisis’. Does the new hosting trio have a fundamental flaw, or is the real crisis elsewhere?

The BBC has upheld complaints against Katherine Ryan's racy joke about Victoria Beckham on Have I Got News For You. Where should the BBC draw the line on comedy censorship?

A new flock of Celebrity Traitors enters the castle this week. Richard and Marina reveal their picks for a turret trio.
