BBC Radio 2 has unveiled its new programming lineup for this Autumn.

Saturday afternoons will receive a makeover with Chris Evans on the air between 2pm and 5pm followed by Dermot O'Leary until 7pm.

"Saturdays on Radio 2 will be real appointment listening with Jonathan Ross in the morning, comedy for lunch followed by Chris's new show in the afternoon - and then Dermot with a new exciting music show," said Lesley Douglas, controller of Radio 2.

In other changes, a new series of Pick of the Pops with Dale Winton will air on Sunday afternoons at 3:30pm.

Other highlights in the upcoming schedule include documentaries presented by Johnny Depp and Val Kilmer.
