Following the success of Channel 4's Alternative Election Night last year, this 15-part live topical comedy show has now been ordered from the same team: Jimmy Carr, David Mitchell, Charlie Brooker and Lauren Laverne.
This topical comedy show will be broadcast live once-a-week from 10pm to 11pm on Thursday nights.
Each presenter has their own sections, and all four will come together for some parts of the show. Jimmy Carr is the desk-based presenter, with David Mitchell chairing discussions and conducting interviews, Charlie Brooker taking an acerbic and cynical look at the week's media coverage, and Lauren Laverne collecting the views and comments of the audience, both in the studio and from those watching at home via Twitter.
Jimmy Carr says: "It's an hour of live TV once a week on Channel 4. I heard Ofcom have set up a a panic room. It might save everyone a lot of time and energy if I just apologise and resign now."
Commissioner Darren Smith says: "The success of the Alternative Election Night proved that there is an appetite for a show that mixes comedy and the news agenda together in a way that produces genuine insight as well as laugh-out-loud moments. 10 O'Clock Live will provide a fresh and unashamedly intelligent take on current affairs from a young perspective."
Not sure if it'll be upto much but theres nothing else on.....
