This Time presents a special show dedicated to the memory of a much-cherished broadcaster. With viewers in shock, it falls to Alan to handle this delicate situation as only he can.

With exciting news on the show’s presenting lineup, Alan and Jennie get stuck into the issues of the day: Scottishness, vegetarianism and a harrowing look at corporal punishment.

A special programme focusing on the #MeToo movement and a chance for Alan to show off his broadcasting chops. Alan’s very own mixed vocal harmony group The Quavers perform live.

Faced with some of live TV’s toughest challenges - rancour behind the scenes, a viewer in danger, a ladies fashion segment - Alan calls on ‘Sidekick’ Simon to step up to the plate.
