Danny John-Jules and Ignacio Lopez provide the comedy content on this week's shows alongside consumer campaigner from The One Show Nikki Fox and musical star Ruthie Henshall,
Danny John-Jules will be best known to one set of fans for playing Cat in the long-running space sitcom Red Dwarf since it started in 1988. But to another group of viewers he is best known for playing Dwayne Myers in Death In Paradise, which is ironic (or intentional) because he also famously played another Dwayne in Red Dwarf - the bowl-haired super geek Dwayne Dibbley. I interviewed John-Jules on the set of Red Dwarf a few years ago when it was revived by Dave and he was friendly interviewee. He is also a very good dancer - before being cast as Cat he had been in a stage production of, erm, Cats. He was also in the classic children's hit comedy, Maid Marian and her Merry Men. He also played Chic's Nile Rogers in one of the Brian Pern spoofs starring Simon Day and recently cropped up in The Kemps: All Gold.
Ignacio Lopez is one of the rising stars of stand-up comedy. He is part Spanish and part Welsh and I think it is fair to say that you don't get many of those to the pound. He also has Irish, Moroccan, and German family connections. He says family get-togethers are like a meeting of the U.N. Lopez, who is based in Cardiff, has recently been performing at the Barcelona Comedy Festiva and is a regular on the comedy circuit in the UK, having appeared on television on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Comedy Central Live and more.
