EMBATTLED parliamentarian John Woodcock is to make an appearance on TV this evening as he makes his debut in the world of political comedy.

The Labour parliamentary hopeful - who is fighting to retain his Barrow and Furness seat - will appear on Unspun which is broadcast on Dave.

The show is described as a 'cross-party comedy with in-the-know funnyman Matt Forde, who wittily dissects the latest headlines from Westminster and beyond.'

The programme airs on Dave at 10pm tonight and again on Sunday at 10pm.
