James Corden

Hot on the heels of Gavin and Stacey, two of the sitcom's stars (the male ones, obviously) were given their own sketch show. Much like the recent election, it started off as a safe bet - riding the wave of Gavin and Stacey's astounding popularity - before ending up such a spectacular failure nobody could remember why it ever seemed a good idea in the first place.

It wasn't just because Horne & Corden was bad - although it was. Many of the sketches relied almost exclusively on jokes about Corden's weight, making for an uncomfortable not to mention inane half hour. But when Corden stops jiggling his stomach, the show isn't as heinous as its infamous critical mauling might suggest. What was most objectionable about the pair's below-par japes was that it was such a nightmarishly crap imitation of the friendship between Smithy and Gavin that it threatened to dull the brilliance of Gavin and Stacey itself.

The stars of the Sky1 sports-based panel show return to America for a second road trip, from Los Angeles to New York.

The banter Santas of Sky1 venture across the Atlantic once again for more road-tripping, shoulder-punching, sport-based hilarity. Tonight, Jamie Redknapp injures himself in a hotdog-eating contest and the quartet train with the Californian State Lifeguards. At worst, it's always an interesting study in male group dynamics, but will regular whipping boy James Corden lord it over his old pals now he's officially a big cheese in the States?

The stage of the O2 in Greenwich is the new home for the Comic Relief charity fundraising extravaganza.
