It is presumably a source of great satisfaction to Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe that this chatshow - which began with a focus on disability issues - has completely transcended its original brief to become a sparky and engaging Friday night fixture with universal appeal.

It's the motor-mouthed host's last show this year and a bumper cast squeezes onto his banquette of banter for the occasion. Ross welcomes arena-filling stand-up Michael McIntyre, actresses Sheridan Smith and Sienna Miller, plus Paralympic gold medallists Ellie Simmonds and Jonnie Peacock. Chef Jamie Oliver cooks festive food, while there's music from Charlotte Church and clowning from Broadway-wowing Russian troupe Slava's Snow Show.
