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. "Go an' get the bloke love.."

Freddie Flintoff & Jamie Redknapp interview

Freddie Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp were a bundle of nerves when they first signed up as team leaders on A League Of Their Own, the Sky1 quiz show hosted by James Corden. But as series two kicks off, the sporting stars are old hands.

Were the Monty Python team starting out today, they might conceivably come up with something like the utterly fabulous Listen Against, supposedly a news round-up with Alice Arnold in the studio and Jon Holmes reporting. It's a glorious mixture of cannibalised cut-ups from the BBC's current affairs output and segments featuring Beeb figures playing themselves (Ed Stourton and Gaby Roslin, for example, on a Children in Need expedition to the centre of the Earth).

Much of it is directed at the BBC itself, and the triumphant stand-out last week was a rolling report from the scene of what Arnold called a "broadcastastrophe". "The pipe that pumps bad TV into the nation's digiboxes" had burst, and "gallons of terrible programmes" were spilling out, contaminating all the decent stuff with BBC3 output. "Awful programmes are threatening wildlife," said Holmes. "I saw a man trying to clean James Corden off a guillemot."

The emergency services were throwing episodes of Dad's Army down the shaft to try to stem the flow. And how much was escaping, Arnold inquired? "It's estimated at up to 3,000 scraped barrels a day," said Holmes.
