Dee to front new consumer show

Jack Dee is to front a new form of consumer show.

In the planned Radio 2 programme, the deadpan stand-up will take up the case of wronged customers.

But he will also berate those who were ripped off because of their own stupidity.

A BBC spokesman said: "Jack feels your pain, shares your outrage, and really cares that batteries weren’t included. Mind you, if you’ve been a prat, he’ll tell you that too."

A pilot edition of Tell Jack is being recorded in London on June 25. To get free audience tickets, visit the BBC ticket unit website.

Before then, Jack is recording a TV series in London's Hammersmith Apollo featuring stand-up stars such as Jo Brand, Joan Rivers and Ross Noble. See our Free Tickets page for details of those shows.
