What a fragrant and lovely Graham Norton couch this week as pop songstrels Katy Perry and Cheryl Cole take their dainty places. Ubiquitous comedian Ross Noble is also a guest, the thorn between two roses.

And if we can't tell, don't do the impression. Like so much that has gone before, VIP falls into the "sometimes clever but not that funny" category.
