C4 to air Russell Brand documentary

Channel 4 has commissioned a one-off documentary about Russell Brand.

The hour-long show, titled The Road To Russell Brand: Skinned will combine stand-up performances with an in-depth interview conducted by Frank Skinner.

Earlier this year, Brand completed an international tour which included dates in America and Australia and culminated with a gig at London's O2 arena. Behind-the-scenes footage from the tour will also feature in the show.

The interview is said to focus on his alleged sexual promiscuity and the fallout from his telephone calls to Andrew Sachs.
