ITV chiefs could be nervously gnawing their fingernails tonight as Noel Gallagher takes a seat on Wossy's sofa. The outspoken rocker was practically a fixture on Russell Brand's Radio 2 show before Sachsgate, so let's hope his presence doesn't inspire Ross to descend to that puerile level again. This series has seen him back to near his best, gently ribbing guests and eliciting decent stories. Also on the sofa will be Michael Sheen and Miranda Hart.

Comedian, voice actor and Steve Coogan's perfect foil, Rob Brydon chats about his much-garlanded career, from Marion & Geoff to Gavin And Stacey, and all points inbetween. Preceding an interview is a repeat showing for the superb and painfully accurate 2002 comedy-drama Cruise Of The Gods, starring Brydon and Coogan as former actors from a 1980s kids' sci-fi show enduring a fan convention aboard an ocean liner. Watch out for a cameo from Russell Brand, infamously booted off the shoot for drugs'n'strippers-style shenanigans.
