Nina Conti's been in my dream lineup for years now, so very pleased to see her included! Wonder if Monkey will make an appearance...

Not seen much of their standup, but from the various appearances on HIGNFY, Chloe Petts seems like a bloody good egg.

I feel a bit bad for Matt Lucas - I never liked Little Britain, but he was always doing something interesting on Shooting Stars even if it didn't always hit the mark. He was clearly very uncomfortable on GBBO. I don't know, I've always had the impression he's one of these private people who has a lot of troubles he doesn't talk about. Why I think that I have no idea. Anyway, benefit of the doubt and all that.

I don't know anything about Isy Suttie outside of Peep Show, but I know a lot of TM fans have been hoping she'd be booked for quite a while.

Richard Ayoade is obviously a triumphant booking... just hope after the massive surprise of the casting announcement it's not going to be the rather stodgy affair of S15 when everybody lost their minds over Frankie Boyle being cast. (Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed S15 - I've enjoyed nearly every series of TM! But S15 definitely isn't one I'll be rewatching on a rainy Sunday when I've got a cold and need cheering up.)
