Max Clifford

Bobby Davro on being tarred with the Yewtree brush

Comedian Bobby Davro says he is tarred with the same brush as disgraced celebrities such as Jimmy Savile and Max Clifford despite being innocent.

The stark truth of Peter Sellers' sidekick Graham Stark

As Max Clifford is jailed for indecent assaults, another celebrity has evaded justice: comic actor Graham Stark, whose abuse of children in the 1960s was hushed up - until now.

A year is a long time in comedy. When this standup was recorded, back in 2011, Max Clifford ("A parasite on a leech on a slug" as Parsons puts it) hadn't been arrested yet, and Gaddafi was still alive, furious at the west for "bombing all the equipment we previously sold him". While the likable Parsons is happiest chatting about politics, you suspect he knows there's an element of his Mock The Week-loving audience who would really rather he didn't; hence lighter riffs on Innocent Smoothies and finding underpants in a jar of Hellman's. Good fun, in any case.

The Krankies tipped for pay day after sex revelations

Swinging panto stars The Krankies yesterday basked in the limelight sparked by their kinky sex revelations. PR guru Max Clifford said the two 64-year-olds could be set for the biggest year of their career.

In the style of Mock The Week, with guests straight off Have I Got News For You and a format borrowed from that other topical debut of the week, 10 O'Clock Live, this new panel show has launched itself in an already overcrowded genre.

And with in-depth discussion of Jordan's latest failed marriage and in-depth handling of some stress-ball breasts, That Sunday Night Show clearly had its brows aimed significantly lower than any of the aforementioned shows.

In this episode, Kevin Bridges, Catherine Tate and John Prescott joined host Adrian Chiles to discuss everything from Ricky Gervais' performance at the Golden Globes to the suspension of the Education Maintenance Allowance for young people, as the emollient Max Clifford and Piers Morgan were wheeled on to comment.

But if the range of topics covered was impressive, the profundity with which they were discussed was something else, as the time constraints of the show allowed only for a cursory glance to be cast over each of the subjects.

So, with the comedy already covered on 10 O'Clock Live, interviews carried out competently on Piers Morgan's latest venture and the serious stuff sorted by Have I Got News For You, can there really be any place for this slapdash and skin-deep attempt from ITV? Unless it changes its tack, this show will find itself superfluous to requirements pretty quickly.
