James Corden

It was only a matter of time before James Corden got his own celebrity panel show and here it is... basically, A Question Of Sport for idiots. Celeb guests include Freddie Flintoff, Neil Morrissey, David Haye and Jamie Redknapp, who spend the first half bantering loudly with their larger-than-life host about tattoos and booze - it's the televisual equivalent of Nuts magazine.

A new comedy quiz, hosted by James Corden, which draws on sports fans' love of lists. Team captains are England cricket monster Andrew Flintoff and Sky football pundit Jamie Redknapp, here to try to shake off the national embarrassment of those holiday advertisements. Regular panellists are comedian John Bishop and Sky Sports News presenter Georgie Thompson. Show one - an hour-long special with guests David Haye and Neil Morrissey was still in the edit suite as we went to press.

A strange sensation nagged at tvBite as, tears of bitter rage trickling down its cheeks, it sat down to the opening stanzas of the symphony of smug that is Sky's take on They Think It's All Over. Dear old Andrew Flintoff was there, making jokes about his drink issues. Top Top Jamie was there, being chummy. And there was the host, popular Gavin And Stacey actor James Corden. Several minutes passed, with tvBite eyeing the kitchen knives lasciviously and wondering what was amiss.

And then it hit! Fully four minutes had gone by without Corden making an amusing self-deprecating reference to his weight! Alarmed, tvBite began calling the Trading Standards Office, but they were out. Offcom were no more use. Just as tvBite was considering a cab to Isleworth or wherever to plead at the door of the TV studio for one, just one, "I am fat" quip, normal service was resumed. Corden then done five jokes about his own physical appearance in the next seven minutes, and all was right with the world once more. Phew! Banter!
