John-Paul Stephenson, Giggle Beats, 25th February 2014It's three years since Jason Manford resigned unceremoniously from The One Show, after alleged personal indiscretions made the headlines.

Here he takes a night off to poke fun at the gaffes and fads of 2013. Judging by his current show, the gags will be slick but gentle - unlikely to offend the sensibilities of even the prissiest great-aunt.
