A strange sensation nagged at tvBite as, tears of bitter rage trickling down its cheeks, it sat down to the opening stanzas of the symphony of smug that is Sky's take on They Think It's All Over. Dear old Andrew Flintoff was there, making jokes about his drink issues. Top Top Jamie was there, being chummy. And there was the host, popular Gavin And Stacey actor James Corden. Several minutes passed, with tvBite eyeing the kitchen knives lasciviously and wondering what was amiss.
And then it hit! Fully four minutes had gone by without Corden making an amusing self-deprecating reference to his weight! Alarmed, tvBite began calling the Trading Standards Office, but they were out. Offcom were no more use. Just as tvBite was considering a cab to Isleworth or wherever to plead at the door of the TV studio for one, just one, "I am fat" quip, normal service was resumed. Corden then done five jokes about his own physical appearance in the next seven minutes, and all was right with the world once more. Phew! Banter!
TV Bite, 11th March 2010League Of Their Own Review
What A League Of Their Own is lacking in sports it makes up for in laughs and, if you can stand an hour of Cordon, ALOTO is well worth a watch. For fans still mourning the loss of They Think It's All Over this could become a worthy replacement. It beats Matt Dawson (now there's a thought) and his banal Question Of Sport antics any day.

Alex Fletcher, Digital Spy, 10th March 2010James Corden hosts an hour-long comedy sports-based panel show. I don't know any more, as that first sentence contains at least three reasons why I will never, ever watch it.
Scott Matthewman, The Stage, 8th March 2010James Corden's latest strip
This Sky1 promo looks like a paean to a football champion, as normally seen in commercials for the likes of Nike and Adidas. But look closer, isn't that TV's James Corden? Being a bit rubbish?
