New Series. Yes, a new series just twenty days after the last one ended, the BBC is getting its moneys worth out of Jonathan. In return, he provides a guest straight from the top of the A List - Tom Hanks. Chris Rock, who some people might find funny, whilst others will just regard him as loud, American and not funny.

Big, butch funny bloke Alan Carr returns to the Ross sofa. Alan wears glasses... and shoes... and has the requisite number of ears for a standard human. Yes, you've guessed it - I don't know anything about the other guests.

Season 14Episode 960 min
Goldie Hawn, Jean-Christophe Novelli, Michelle Ryan, The Temptations
Michelle Ryan managed to star in several episodes of the Bionic Woman before it was axed. Who knows; maybe The Bill has the technology to rebuild her (career), as it has done for so many other former soap stars.
Music comes from the Temptations, star-spangled blondness comes from Goldie Hawn and something French for the ladies comes from Jean-Christophe Novelli.

Season 14Episode 1160 min
Donald Sutherland, Trevor Eve, Natasha Kaplinsky, The Kooks
Natasha Kaplinsky is one of those people who you either really, really like, or really, really loathe. Which camp are you in? This week's 'Hollywood royalty' is Donald Sutherland, while Trevor Eve is this week's 'Brummie royalty'.

Apr 4, 2008
Season 14Episode 1360 min
Mackenzie Crook, Patsy Palmer, Ian Wright, Kirsty Gallagher, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Mackenzie Crook's latest film is Three and Out, in which he plays a Tube driver on London's Underground. The title refers to the rule that if a driver witnesses three accidental deaths on the line, he is pensioned off with a large lump sum. It is understandable to think from the title, that the film is actually about the career of cricketer Andrew Strauss.

Season 14Episode 1860 min
Ray Winstone, The Osmonds, Neil Diamond
Chirpy Cockney geezer, Ray Winstone, does the Lambeth walk into the studio to discuss jellied eels, Doodlebugs and boxing grannies from the east end. Gawd bless 'em. Actually, he'll probably talk about his role in the new Indiana Jones film.
The Osmonds - all 7 of them, give their first British interview in 25 years. 7 Osmonds - that's 224 teeth. Seems like a lot more...
Music to please your Mum - and mine, from golden-tonsilled Neil Diamond.

Recently Updated Shows
Recently updated shows that might be of your interest.
EastEnders
Set in the East End of London, the show focuses on the tensions between love and family with stories ranging from hard-hitting social issues, to personal, human tragedies. And there's plenty of funny moments too.
Classic characters old and new across thousands of episodes have shared a drink in The Queen Vic, shed tears of despair or joy, sat on Arthur's bench in the Square... and at some point or other they probably crossed paths with Ian Beale.
GenreDrama
Masters of Illusion
In Masters of Illusion, the world's greatest magicians and illusionists perform magic in front of a live studio audience. There are no camera or computer tricks involved and you'll see tricks such as women turning into tigers, birds appearing from nowhere and sleight of hands in the blink of an eye! From one amazing trick to another, the performances are shown to you non-stop in a spectacular show filled with reality-twisting, mind-blowing magic.
A League of Their Own
A League of Their Own is a British sports-based comedy panel game that was first broadcast on Sky 1 on 11 March 2010. It is hosted by Gavin and Stacey star James Corden and features Andrew Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp as team captains.
