Jonathan Ross

When the Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand "Sachsgate" mini-drama fizzled away, the world in which I work was changed for ever by the c-word - compliance. I can no longer listen to programmes for reviewing purposes without them having been signed off by multiple layers of managers, especially and primarily at Radio 2. So I have not been able to enjoy the first of the returning series of one of my favourite radio comedies. I hope and imagine that this tale of a 38-year-old gamer, entirely at the mercy of his ruthless mother, will be as funny as the past two series. But whatever the content, we can, at least, be assured that it's ticked all the correct boxes.

Lock up your granddaughters: Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross are reunited for the first time since Sachsgate as one of the teams on this annual topical ding-dong. Expect edgy banter from the controversial pair, alongside fellow panellists David Mitchell, Claudia Winkleman, Rob Brydon and Newswipe's Charlie Brooker. Jimmy Carr keeps score.

Andrew Sachs probably won't be tuning in for this one. Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand are reunited on television for the first time since Sachsgate. However, this being Channel 4, don't expect a grovelling apology at the beginning but plenty of jokes about telephone calls, Spanish waiters and Satanic Sluts. Jimmy Carr is in the chair for what has become an annual festive highlight, poking fun at the biggest stories of the year. Ross and Brand have been cheekily paired together and up against them will be Claudia Winkleman and Rob Brydon and David Mitchell and the TV critic Charlie Brooker, making his first appearance. Peter Andre is among the celebrity questioners, but rumours that Tiger Woods will be appearing are wide of the mark.
