Jonathan Ross walks the tight rope on TV return
But in last night's comeback Tonight With Jonathan Ross, Ross showed some of the chops that got him that much-mentioned £18.5m contract with the BBC in the first place. After the most high-profile spell on the naughty stair in recent broadcasting history - a three month suspension, £1.1m in lost wages and all the peevish umbrage the Daily Mail could throw at him - Ross picked up his broadcasting career with a rueful yet resilient, "Now - where were we?"
