The first series started on 17 September 2010 and consists of six regular episodes, a [[Clip show|compilation]] episode and a [[Christmas]] [[Television special|special]]. The second series had six regular episodes, a Christmas special and a compilation episode. The third and final series had six regular episodes.
==Format== Each week, Brydon asks his [[Twitter]] followers to provide questions for his guests, which he asks after the comedian segment. Brydon interviews two guests, who sit on his sofa while they chat; the musical guest performs at the end of the show (as well as possibly singing with Brydon during their segment). A comedian performs a short stint, with a short interview afterwards by Brydon.
The compilation episodes consist of previously unseen material. The first series compilation was set in the future, hosted by Brydon. The second series clips were hosted by Dai Young, a performer/publican from Wales and Brydon's alleged former comedy partner (in reality Brydon himself in costume).<ref name=Season1Comp>{{cite web|url=http://www.comedy.co.uk/guide/tv/the_rob_brydon_show/episodes/1/6/ |title=The Rob Brydon Show – Episode 1.6 |publisher=Comedy.co.uk |access-date=2011-08-19}}</ref><ref name=Series2Comp>{{cite web|url=http://www.comedy.co.uk/guide/tv/the_rob_brydon_show/episodes/2/7/ |title=The Rob Brydon Show – Highlights Special |publisher=Comedy.co.uk |access-date=2011-08-19}}</ref>
