There's the obvious danger that Alan Davies's new show could quickly descend into a swaggering knob-measuring contest, featuring as it does four celebrities talking about whatever they want to around a big table in front of a studio audience, until an appropriate show title presents itself. And indeed, the anecdotes come thick and fast in this first instalment, from Noel Fielding, Kerry Godliman, Andrew Maxwell and Jon Ronson. However, it's actually rather charming, Ronson's mistaken identity story in particular.

The LA dream is over, and so Doll and Em return to London in this series finale. In their trademark low-key style they're down to earth with a whimper, as Doll sulks back to her waitressing job and Em offers her brother money to go away. They're keen to avoid each other after the role-stealing incident over in LA, in a scene nearly as awkward as Em's encounter with Ben Chaplin and his stupid hat, where he accuses her of "up-inflecting". Guest star Noel Fielding and his offer of a bath save the day.

British Comedy Guide, 5th January 2014

One of the few festive programmes where the people on screen are normally drunker than the viewers. Jimmy Carr again presides over a panel game that usually attracts a good deal of correspondence from people who like to be offended at Christmas.

The passing of legislation earlier this year forcing Jack Whitehall to be included in all comedy programmes on all channels was controversial, but - perhaps due to some sort of hangover from his competitive days as a public schoolboy - he's well suited to the quiz format.

Whitehall and fellow bellower Jonathan Ross have gentler comic minds to offset them, answering questions about the past 12 months of news: Kristen Schaal is this year's woman, and there's also Richard Ayoade, who's effortlessly defused this gnarly bearpit in past Big Fat Quizzes. Plus, Noel Fielding and Dara O'Briain.

In an inspired piece of scheduling, Channel 4 bins the Come Dine With Me repeats and dedicates the whole of Christmas Eve to Graham Linehan's honkingly funny sitcom. Set in a terrifyingly realistic man cave in the basement of a dysfunctional London company it is, according to those who know their ethernet cables from their elbows, almost a documentary.

Surrounded by empty boxes, unopened manuals, stickers and plastic desk toys, Moss (Richard Ayoade) and Roy (Chris O'Dowd, before he was Bridesmaids famous) skive, snigger, talk about girls and tell anyone with an ailing computer to turn it off and on again. Noel Fielding lives in the cupboard. Their female boss knows nothing of these annoying computer thingies and is preoccupied with her car crash love life.

In honour of this festive extravaganza, fans have voted for their favourite episode and Linehan has nominated his. There is also a repeat of the final one-off show from earlier this year and a documentary featuring interviews with cast and A-list fans.

Opinion: Never Mind The Buzzcocks

Noel Fielding manages to survive by being a permachild, maybe Phill Jupitus has a large mortgage to service or the BBC is holding a member of his family hostage.
