he pending referendum on Scottish independence is currently on the minds of millions, including four of the UK’s top comedians.The quartet is brought together by Kevin Bridges for this tongue-in-cheek look at one of the hottest political potatoes of the year. Glasgow’s Theatre Royal is the venue for Kevin Bridges: Live at the Referendum, Saturday, BBC1, 10.20pm as Kevin welcomes Hal Cruttenden, a veteran of Mock the Week who picked up a Best Newcomer nomination at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2002 . He’s joined by deadpan funnyman Jack Dee; one of Glasgow’s most successful, and controversial comedians, Frankie

Boyle, and Kerry Godliman.The latter, who is better known as Hannah in Ricky Gervais sitcom Derek, has been a TV regular for more than a decade. Some may remember her from Channel 4’s 2005 series Spoons, a show which deserved a second run, but as the market was saturated with similar shows, that idea was cut short.“BBC Three was doing Man Stroke Woman and Channel 5 was doing a thing called Swinging, or Swingers or something, and we were doing Spoons, thinking how weird is this?” she smiles.“Three channels are doing relationshipbased sketch shows, and some thought, ‘Like the world needs another one of these,’ but I loved Spoons.

DON’T MISS… The X Factor, Saturday, ITV, 8pm.

Doctor Who Doctor Who BBC1, 7.30pm You may believe a police box can travel in time and space, or that a renegade alien can regenerate several times into different people, but the fact he has never encountered Robin Hood in the show’s 51-year history? Well that’s a more difficult pill to swallow. However, all that changes this week when the Doctor and Clara pay a visit to Sherwood and try to save Nottingham from intergalactic forces of evil. Tom Riley and the ever reliable Ben Miller guest star in a Mark Gatissscripted adventure, while Clara’s dress should leave a few fans’ hearts racing that bit faster.

PICK OF THE WEEK

Charlie Brooker.What became of him, eh?,” she laughs. Kerry admits she was fascinated by comedy from an early age.“I did watch quite a lot of stand-up as a kid,” she explains.“I’m always quite fascinated by these articles by other comics who say, ‘They didn’t come to it ‘til they were adults’, whereas I did. I even went to gigs with my mum and dad when I was a kid. I remember seeing Billy Connolly and Victoria Wood.“Mum and dad took me to shows when… I wasn’t even a teenager. I always liked it and knew what it was, but I didn’t know

how to get into it.” Kerry went to drama school, which gave her “the guts to admit that I wanted to do stand-up and had a crack at that. And it’s quite nice now that I’m fortunate enough to be able to do both.” Of course it remains to be seen how she fares at this event, but one comedian who is bound to generate plenty of sparks is Boyle. Once described by Dara O Briain as ‘The dark heart of Mock the Week,’ he used his stint on that panel game as a springboard for his own series, Tramadol Nights. That met with a mixed reception from the critics, while one alleged gag left Ofcom’s switchboard lit up like a Christmas tree.The controversy didn’t seem to affect ticket sales.
