In a Christmas instalment of Alan Davies's rambling chatshow - the guests just talk at random, the title of the show being decided at the end; so "Christmas" is perhaps a strong contender this time around - the Reverend Richard Coles, EastEnder Jo Joyner and comedians Jason Manford and Joe Lycett get together at the round table.

Jason Manford adapts his Funny Old Year retrospectives for a weekly slot. With topical comedy, it seems the temptation to crack gags that Twitter tired of days ago is hard to shake. While Weekly Wipe prefers trepanning news coverage and seeing what trickles out, and Last Week Tonight explores unheralded topics in depth, many merely crank out weary old Cameron posh/Miliband weird tropes with abandon. It's unlikely Manford will become Britain's Jon Stewart, but here's hoping for more than hackneyed Week Mocking at least.
