James Corden signs multi-million pound book deal

Comedian James Corden has signed a mega money deal to publish his autobiography, it was announced today.

Time to forget all your troubles, kick back, relax and laugh at a show you probably saw back in April. The O2 Arena plays host to literally quite a few comedians in a show put on to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity; so even if the likes of Jack Whitehall, Jason Manford, Michael McIntyre and James Corden aren't funny then at least some good will come from this. There are plenty of good turns here as well from David Mitchell, Jo Brand, Sean Lock and Kevin Eldon.

This is how sketch comedy should be done, James Corden and Mathew Horne please please please take note. Actually forget that, just please stick to Gavin & Stacey.

Like every show of this kind, Harry and Paul has it's hits and misses, but you won't get a better ratio than with these old collaborators. There are a few original pieces in the second helping of their latest series, including an opening take-down of bed-hopping Silvio Berlusconi, but much of this material is similar to other stuff we have seen before in one form or another. The two old aristocrats denouncing the entire TV community (even David Attenborough?!) as 'quares', remind us of the perpetually pickled Rowley Birkin QC and the whole potato skit reminds us the hilarious Mr Cholmondley-Warner, but the Enfield and Whitehouse have a sense of timing and a panaché that makes that seem irrelevant.

For me, watching Enfield as the reserved English gent encouraging his son's potato hobby is just as rewarding as listening to the faux-Public Information programmes which lampooned the early days of television. Parking Patewayo, the traffic warden whose prolific exploits are potrayed as children's educational programming is another sure-fire hit, as are the pair's stick-in-the-mud ex footballers.
