Gregg Wallace

Greg Rusedski and Russell Tovey? Gregg Wallace and Russell Grant? Greggs the Bakers and Russell & Bromley? Of all the Greg(g)s and Russells in the world, it's Radio 1 DJ Greg James and comedian Russell Kane who team up to present this new spin on the irreverent chat show theme. The bromantic banter is sprinkled with a selection of celeb guests - tonight the featured talent includes Brit hip-hoppers Rizzle Kicks and the Haitian-American chart-topper, dirty talkin' Jason Derulo.

It's ten years since Angus Deayton made his hurried departure from the HIGNFY host's chair, since when 84 different bottoms have perched there, including those of MasterChef's Gregg Wallace and John Torode, the only double act to share the job, two knights (Sir Bruce Forsyth and Sir Trevor McDonald), two OBEs (Joan Collins and Moira Stuart) and one intergalactic space traveller.

In this anniversary edition, Homeland's Damian Lewis takes the hot seat for the fifth time - obviously hoping to challenge Alexander Armstrong's record of 20 - and, judging by his earlier outings, he'll deliver the scripted lines with exquisite timing and charm. Tonight's guests are Harry Shearer and Nigel Farage.

Gregg Wallace, Sarah Millican and Gabby Roslin compete to convince Frank Skinner to consign their bêtes noires to oblivion. But Wallace brings a curmudgeonly, grumpy-old-man air to his nominations for the imaginary vault-of-loathing beneath the stage. His pet hates involve "old people in front of you at cash machines" and "all live music concerts": both ideas that tip over from admirably controversial to downright mean.

Millican rails against experts who befuddle her, Roslin trashes Olympics moaners, and there's a guest appearance from the London Vegetable Orchestra - people in bow ties playing a tune on pumpkins. It's better than you'd think.

After a five-year hiatus, this light-hearted comedy series has returned with a new format (it's now a panel show) and a new host (quick-witted Frank Skinner). Three celebrities compete to have their pet peeves consigned to the dumper. Tonight MasterChef's Gregg Wallace, comedian Sarah Millican and sports presenter Gabby Logan go head-to-head. Wallace wages war on barbecues ("I've seen a man with a sausage on fire, turning it"), Millican complains about cats who ignoreher (she mews at them to get their attention), and a worthy Logan gets on her high horse about anti-Olympic attitudes ("you don't have to love sport, you have to love... the human spirit").

Masterchef's Gregg Wallace wants to ban barbecues

Masterchef's host Gregg Wallace has launched an attack on outdoor cooking - and wants to ban barbecues and put them into Room 101.

It's back, with shiny new titles, Frank Skinner in place of Paul Merton and not one but three guests competing to have pet hates banished for ever. Robert Webb, Danny Baker and Fern Britton select peeves such as homework, sci-fi, PE and punk, but it has all the awkwardness of a bad dinner party and little of the easy, intimate wit and banter of the original show; the best fun to be had is Webb's seeming disdain for the rather tedious Britton, who seems to think she's on Grumpy Old Women. Maybe future contestants - among them Alistair McGowan, Josh Groban, Sarah Millican and Alice Cooper - will make this more likeable, though they'll have a job getting laughs from the likes of Gregg Wallace, Gabby Logan and Mark Lawrenson.

Jon Culshaw and Debra Stephenson offer up another 30 minutes of pretending to be other people. When the show hits home, as in a MasterChef skit where John Torode and Gregg Wallace reckon the contestants are "like cows at an abattoir", there's much fun to be had. Paul McCartney reforming the Fab Four with "all of the surviving Beatles except Ringo" and the Gok Wan wok gun also hit the mark. At other times, though, don't be surprised if your attention drifts: the show is consistently inventive without necessarily being consistently funny.

For the first time in its 21-year-history, Have I Got News for You has not one but two hosts. Taking the chair - or maybe a nice two-seater - this week are MasterChef's double act, John Torode and Gregg Wallace. Bucking the trend of booking comedians or actors for the job is an interesting decision. Whether it's a stroke of genius or a bad move remains to be seen. There are bound to be lots of food-related gags along the lines of Torode expecting perfectly seasoned answers from Paul Merton and Ian Hislop and their charges. But the big question is, will Wallace be able to restrain himself from booming, "Quizzes don't get tougher than this!"

There are two guest hosts for tonight's show and they're not comics - they're MasterChef mavens Gregg Wallace and John Torode. How they'll fare on laughs is anyone's guess. Happily, the reliably brilliant Richard Herring, who last turned up on HIGNFY sporting a Hitler moustache and
is a panellist again tonight, should do well in that department.

HIGNFY: will the MasterChef duo cook up a storm?

John Torode and Gregg Wallace will take over as HIGNFY hosts tonight - who else would you like as guest presenter?
