Crawley comedian Romesh Ranganathan is to appear on BBC1's Question Time. He will be on the panel next Thursday, February 11, when the programme comes from Llanelli in Wales.

The former maths teacher is the latest in an increasingly long line of comedians to take part in the political discussion series. Irish comedian Grainne Maguire was recently on the show and Russell Brand and Jo Brand (no relation) are among the previous stand-ups to be grilled by an audience.

2016 is shaping to be a busy year for Ranganathan. His TV projects include a new ITV1 series, It's Not Rocket Science, with Ben Miller and Rachel Riley. He also sets out on a major tour, entitled Irrational, on February 6.
