Never knowingly underexposed, James Corden returns to host the sport quiz that you don't necessarily need to know a huge amount about sport to watch. Corden will have his work cut out to hog the limelight on this first show of the series, probably being confined to the long shadows cast by his Olympian guests. Chief among these will be the beaming Mo Farah, while gymnast Louis Smith ups the medal count still further. Among the regular celebs, Claudia Winkleman is onside, while Jack Whitehall continues to successfully balance the amiable and the mildly obnoxious.

After running, rowing and cycling his way from Paris to London in aid of Sport Relief, it's back to the day job for John Bishop tonight as he takes a guest turn on the opening episode of Sky's popular panel show. Alongside master of ceremonies James Corden, he's an ever-present source of the type of free-flowing sporting banter that's made the show one of the broadcaster's top performers.

The addition of Jack Whitehall, who replaces F1-bound Georgie Thompson as a regular panellist, is another shot in the arm for a series that's fast becoming essential viewing for sports fans and phobics alike.
