Craig Revel Horwood

Frank Skinner's role as judge and jury seems inconsequential in tonight's final show of the series - its all about the verbal sparring that breaks out between the guests.

Comedian Jon Richardson is in the firing line, declared dull by Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood for wanting to dump dancing into Room 101, who then gets up actress Sheila Hancock's nose by admitting he buys scented candles - one of her pet hates.

It just leaves Skinner to bring the curtain down with a Macarena.

There's a lot of sniping between the guests in this edition and it's this, rather than their arguments for putting scented candles, house guests, wedding speeches and the like into Room 101, that produces the most laughs. It's perhaps inevitable that when Jon Richardson says he never dances, describing it as "arrogant walking", Craig Revel Horwood responds waspishly that Jon is "probably one of the dullest people I've ever sat next to". However, following that up by making joke-telling one of his pet hates is a bit strong. Even Sheila Hancock joins in the teasing, albeit inadvertently, until she gets threatened with being consigned to oblivion herself.

Actress Sheila Hancock, Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood and comedian Jon Richardson are the final celebrities bidding for their bêtes noires to be consigned to oblivion tonight. A sassy Hancock proves good value on subjects such as her aversion to fireworks and scented candles, although Revel Horwood lives up to his mean persona by insulting Richardson throughout, and even puts forward joke-telling as one of his pet hates, which creates a bit of an atmosphere. Although unfunny guests do tend to dampen the fun, host Frank Skinner's impromptu joshing largely makes up for the deficit of laughs.

A new run of the stand-up-plus-chat series sees RT's prim-looking (but don't be fooled) columnist welcome Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood and Spice Girl Melanie C to her show. They should be savvy enough to keep up with Ms Millican's cheeky wit, but how will the cast of Casualty fare?

That's not just a functional title you're reading. Sarah Millican's Television Programme is indeed a programme on television about television, back tonight for a second series. Tonight, Millican turns a twinkling eye on reality-competition shows, approaching her subject with all the bloused causticity you've come to expect. Guests include Craig Revel Horwood of Strictly Come Dancing - who looms giant-headed like the Wizard of Oz from a big screen at centre-stage - and an impeccably coached Mel C (here in her capacity as a former judge on Superstar), who's done this enough to endure Millican's jokes with charm, good grace and an impenetrable wall of stock answers. On an actual chatshow it might be vexing, but The Sarah Millican Television Programme turns out to be a 30-minute stand-up routine, occasionally visited by recognisable faces off which to bounce cue-carded jokes. Too bad for Millican that she shines brightest (competing even with that blinding set) on those rare occasions that she's making it up.

Apologies, Mani-lovers. But I defy anyone to watch this without the words, "Barry, that was all a bit cruise ship for me," echoing round their head.

While Manilow takes to the stage to perform and answer questions from the ­audience of celebs, for us at home that means witnessing some of the most bizarre sights you probably thought you'd never see.

For example, Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood actually grinning as he claps along to Could It Be Magic; Corrie's Dev and EastEnders' Archie grooving to Can't Smile Without You; and fellow Walfordians Christian and Zainab sharing a hug.

"Who are all these people?" poor Bazza must be wondering.

He's written a string of ­timeless pop classics and his name looks great in lights - but will tonight's performance be good enough to keep him out of the bottom two?

Fibbing to their host, fellow panellists and the general public this week are pouty newsreader Kate Silverton, comedian Hugh Dennis, presenter Ben Fogle and Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood. Dennis kicks off the truth and lies session by announcing that he has to touch his nose every time he says "France". Later, Silverton wants the other team to trust that she once presented the news with her foot in an ice bucket. And Fogle claims authorities on a small island interrogated him because they thought he was a spy. Worse still, he was accused - or so he says - of smuggling breadfruit plants. Laughs abound. There's even a tense moment: Revel Horwood over-investigates Silverton's foot story, perhaps failing to grasp that he's in a comedy panel show rather than an audition for a low-rent detective drama.
