The grime MC-turned-TV host returns for another series of his hit talkshow, alongside Mo "The Comedian" Gilligan. Described by its producers as "Graham Norton on acid", but probably akin to a more diverse Celebrity Juice, the show hits the sweet spot between current and nostalgic - with guests ranging from Pamela Anderson to Not3s - via Narstie and Mo's daft/straight dynamic. "The thing I like about this show is it doesn't always have to work," joked series one guest Richard Ayoade, but more often than not, it does.

Following YouTube antics and the odd presenting gig, the grime MC landed his own Channel 4 series earlier this year. Having been well received, he returns for a special, once again alongside comic Mo Gilligan. Expect starry cameos, although hopefully no further screen time for his buddy Ed Sheeran.

Interview: Mo Gilligan

Modesty even bleeds into his fashion: he can accept dirty Nikes. But, "when you get high-end creps, don't let them touch the rain," he jests. I'm not too sure he's actually ever been to Manchester in that case.

It's pretty much a Bake Off special this week as Ross quizzes judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith and presenter Noel Fielding about the current series of the cookery show. OK, so there's no Sandi Toksvig, but comedy awaits courtesy of Mo Gilligan and music is supplied by Olly Murs.
