Press

There must have been times in the past few weeks when Mathew Horne and James Corden have felt like bulls being chased around by banderilla-wielding critics. With savage reviews, talk of burnout and collapses on stage, the crash and burn has been spectacular. This is no time to stick any more knives in.

Indeed, in their defence, the omission of Gavin & Stacey from the Bafta nominations is a ridiculous snub that smacked of a petty attempt to cut Corden down to size. But that's not to say I'm not mightily glad to see the back of Horne & Corden, a show which started poised on the rim and ended up diving headlong down the toilet. At least the two of them finally had a big snog. Now please boys, move on.
