James Corden

'Turkey' is too noble a word for a cinematic abomination that should have slunk straight to DVD, or ideally, straight to bin. Now more overexposed than Lindsay Lohan's lady parts, James Corden and Mathew Horne take time out from being unfunny on TV to do the same in this gaggingly desperateto-be-a-cult horror/comedy. Shot in digital soft-focus à la 300, it's basically a tribute (in the sense of lazy, utterly irony-free rip-off) to ye olde Hammer Horror movies, that sees heart-broken Jimmy (Horne) and his loveable fat friend Fletch (Corden) go hiking to a remote village, only to stumble across a coven of gay girl vamps. Boasting bare boobies galore, this might appeal to Nuts readers (if they're drunk), while women viewers will be universally repelled by the horrific levels of female-fear-and-loathing. Shaun Of The Dead this most certainly ain't - in fact, it makes Ant and Dec's feeble sci-fi effort Alien Autopsy a masterpiece to rival Aliens.

You can't blame BBC3 for constantly repeating its best-ever programme. Here's yet another chance to laugh along with a long-distance relationship conducted in Billericay (his home) and Barry Island (hers), complicated by the young lovers' ditsiness and their weird families and friends. The starry supporting cast (Alison Steadman, Rob Brydon, plus writers Ruth Jones and James Corden) provide the vulgar belly laughs, all as larger-than-life loons who never quite tip over into caricature, thanks to the earthy, affectionate script.

Not for Kevin Bishop the diplomatic approach: his sketch show puts the boot into the foibles of the entertainment industry he's intrinsically a part of. Impersonations - a staple of Bishop's comedy - are pretty thin fare on their own, but this rapid-fire sketch show also hits some worthy targets. In tonight's show, we are shown the tragedy of Derren Brown's cab-driving brother, Darren, see Hugh Laurie's out-takes from House, and - most enjoyably - observe TV comedy's boom-and-bust duo James Corden and Mathew Horne in a remake of On the Buses.

Just hours after her 10-year run on This Morning comes to a tearful end today (we predict), Fern Britton is back on our screens as a team captain (together with Jason Manford) on a new TV trivia quiz hosted by Steve Jones.

Not quite as leftfield as Charlie Brooker's You Have Been Watching, on C4 - this is actually good fun with some cleverly inventive rounds in which the panellists show off their telly knowledge.

Bonus points tonight go to Laurence Llewellyn Bowen, for pointing out that their studio desk looks like a giant red toilet bowl. "We're like germs under the rim," he grumbles, accurately. And a prize to the wag responsible for providing us with a (possibly unintentional) shot of Steve Jones posed neatly between the nipples of a bare-chested James Corden.

Bafflingly, this has made the move to BBC2, so in case you didn't see the first run of the sketch show that earned the ever-present Mathew Horne and James Corden such a mauling, here's a second chance. It's hard to know what's more bleak about it - how witlessly crude it is, the air of nastiness that comes with characters like gay reporter Tim Woodall (in a war zone! In tiny shorts!) or, crucially, the lack of anything even resembling humour - unless the repeated sight of a jiggling belly is your thing.

The golden boys of Gavin and Stacey, Mathew Horne and James Corden, were rewarded with their own sketch show on BBC Three, which attracted a record audience of 817,000 for the first episode. After that, it was downhill all the way. Directed by Kathy Burke, the show was roundly slated for being amateurish, crude and aggressively unfunny. Viewing figures collapsed, with only 434,000 bothering with the final episode. In one sketch, two teachers give a joint lesson to a class on how to draw penises; in another, James Corden keeps shouting "I'm going to come!" while having sex. Elsewhere, he pulls up his shirt and rolls his stomach in front of a burger bar as a form of consumer complaint. The acting is accomplished enough, but that's as far it goes. Viewers on terrestrial television can now find out what they haven't been missing.

Horne & Corden BBC3's most successful comedy launch

Horne And Corden, the sketch show written by and starring Mat Horne and James Corden, was the most successful first series of a comedy on BBC Three.
