Going Out with Alan Carr was the incarnation of the Saturday evening show on BBC Radio 2 between 25 April 2009 and 31 March 2012, produced by Open Mike Productions, which also produced Carr's TV series Chatty Man. It was hosted by British comedian Alan Carr, first with Emma Forbes and then with Melanie Sykes.
The final show was broadcast on 31 March 2012, after Carr announced his departure from the network earlier that month, stating that he wanted to reclaim his weekends. They were replaced by Liza Tarbuck on 12 May that year, who remains in the slot today.[1]
