Radio Times review

Will James Corden ever live down the moment he was forced to cut Adele off mid-acceptance speech during the Brit Awards in 2012? And, with Corden's last appearance as host of the music extravaganza just days away, will Jonathan Ross be able to refrain from mentioning it?

We'll find out tonight as the star of The Wrong Mans and Gavin & Stacey takes his turn to be interviewed, along with the perennially glamorous actress Uma Thurman and Strictly Come Dancing winner Abbey Clancey.

Iain Stirling review

At times there were awkward pauses and overdone topics (apparently Scottish people like to swear) but on the whole, his confidence, accents and impressions mixed with ludicrous anecdotes made the whole show enjoyable and, I'll go for it, a Stirling performance.

Why we're excited for the return of My Mad Fat Diary

The first series of the E4 comedy-drama, My Mad Fat Diary was an unexpected pleasure. Anchored by a sledgehammer emotional performance from Sharon Rooney and with the delightful Claire Rushbrook and Ian Hart providing support, it was just a joy to watch. Painful, candid and unashamedly honest in its portrayal of adolescence, My Mad Fat Diary was one of my highlights of 2013. Going simply by this series two opener, I can predict a positive future for the wonderful show.
