Brand, Gallagher radio show confirmed

A football-based radio show from Russell Brand and Noel Gallagher has been confirmed for Sunday evening.

The two-hour special will air on TalkSport at 9pm and producers have promised "a heavy dose of cutting-edge comedy, controversial commentary and the odd eye-opening anecdote" from the pair.

Programme director Moz Dee said: "[Brand is] a unique talent who understands the medium brilliantly.

"With Noel Gallagher, it'll be a must-listen. Both are proper football fans who just happen to be two of the most creative minds in popular culture."

Oasis guitarist Gallagher appeared on The Russell Brand Radio Show on BBC Radio 2 on a number of occasions, before Brand's resignation after crude phone calls to actor Andrew Sachs were played on the programme.
