For BBC Radio Scotland

Clive Anderson is to host a new comedy panel show for BBC Radio Scotland.

Guests on The Guessing Game will be asked a series of bizarre, impossible-to-answer questions, to which they will have indulge in some 'outlandish' speculation.

Comics lined up to appear on the six-part series include Rory Bremner, Phill Jupitus, Zoe Lyons, Jo Caulfield, Susan Calman and Des Clarke.

Anderson said: 'I am very much looking forward to making The Guessing Game in Glasgow. My father was a Glaswegian and I think I inherited my sense of humour from him, and quite a lot of my jokes. I would also like to catch up with Scottish football as I have got a little out of touch. How are things going…?'

Jeff Zycinski, head of BBC Radio Scotland, added: 'I have always been a huge admirer of Clive’s easy, yet formidable, wit.'

The show will be recorded in BBC Scotland Pacific Quay on March 21 and 22 as part of the Glasgow Comedy Festival and aired from April 4.
