"We've been trying to get Bill Bailey to kick off our comedy Sessions for the past five years.

Bill is a long running, critically acclaimed, satirical comedian who should bring an air of respectability to the bewildered, babbling, bearded news quiz. Or something like that. It's on BBC1 at 9pm, and as usual there is an extended version on BBC2 at 9pm on Saturday. And in case you didn't know, 2008 is in fact the Year of Reading, and Bill has appeared in an advert for a government campaign to promote more reading. I could tell you more, but you don't want to read about it in a load of boring old words do you? Just watch the video, which has pictures and noises and stuff. You can see the advert here, and a making of which also features Bill here. Don't forget to check out Bill's 'My Favourite Place' on The History Channel tonight.]]> http://www.billbailey.co.uk/latestnews/2008/05/have_i_got_news_for_you_yes_actually.html http://www.billbailey.co.uk/latestnews/2008/05/have_i_got_news_for_you_yes_actually.html Television Thu, 08 May 2008 12:28:11 +0000 Grand Designs Live tomorrow night, as Bill will be popping in for a chat.

Later in the week, Bill will be exploring the myths around one of the grandest, and most mysterious designs of all, when he visits his spiritual (and some might claim actual) home, Stonehenge, in the first episode of new series My Favourite Place which goes out on The History Channel at 8pm on Thursday.
