Ricky Wilson

The Nightly Show with Gordon Ramsay review

For a merciful few minutes, it seemed that someone at ITV had pulled the plug.

Having had something of a career hiatus since reaching dizzy heights as 90s icons, the ragga-loving puppets are back with an animated series. The new Zig and Zag have a bouncy Ricky Wilson theme tune and their first adventure finds them eating breakfast-flavoured ice-cream on the hottest day ever. There are laughs and mayhem to make their colourful new incarnation appeal to little brothers and sisters, but nostalgic adults will crave the more irreverent years.

Bernie Clifton moves Ricky Wilson to tears on Voice

He's best known for riding an yellow ostrich, but Crackerjack's Bernie Clifton adds another feather to his cap as he sings on the BBC show.

The blurb for Bring the Noise promises a "hilariously entertaining new music and comedy show" featuring two teams of three waxing wry on pop ephemera. Basically, in the same way League of Their Own showed what happened if you photocopied the premise of They Think It's All Over and then threw a bigger budget at it, Noise takes the well-worn Never Mind the Buzzcocks formula and adds the comic wiles of Nicole Scherzinger, Tinie Tempah and chief Kaiser Ricky Wilson. A tribute act featuring established musicians.

Ricky Wilson interview

The irrepressible Alan Carr returns for a 14th series of his charmingly goofy chat show tonight, in which his guests reveal just as much about themselves by the way they react to his Bombay mix and WKD-style of hospitality as from any of the comic's proper questions. On the sofa and partaking in Carr's eccentrically stocked drinks trolley will be The Voice judges - Will.i.am, Ricky Wilson, Tom Jones and the madcap Rita Ora - joined by Antonio Banderas and Danny Dyer. Ella Henderson provides the music.

What the returning Shooting Stars lacks in novelty, it makes up for in undiminished surrealism. Tonight's guests include Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs and Jack Dee ("Your face is like an abandoned walnut. Like a doomed horse"), but it's the enduring madness of the hosts that entertains. Within mere moments, Vic has arrested a jazz pancake and shot it with a clarinet. Even regulars Ulrika Jonsson and drumming baby George Dawes (Matt Lucas) look surprised.
