15 episodes

Episodes
Episode 1: Ricky Hatton, Daniel Radcliffe, Thandie Newton, The Good, The Bad & The Queen.
2007-03-23

Ladies and gentlemen: he's back. The suited, wavy-haired cheeky monkey himself Mr Ross, welcomes us to his new series with the distinct possibility of a punch-up. Boxer Ricky Hatton goes toe-to-toe with Jonathan and Thandie Newton will do well to stay that far away from him and his saucy banter. Daniel Radcliffe, who has gone from boy wizard to horse fondler, returns to the show as does Damon Albarn with yet another new band The Good, The Bad & The Queen. Has he finally formed a good one?

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 2: John Travolta, Gareth Gates, Ricky Gervais, Macy Gray.
2007-03-30

Ricky Gervais? On Jonathan's show? That must have taken some serious negotiating - or maybe just a kiss. I'm amazed to see Gareth Gates on the show; I thought he was happy and comfortable in obscurity. I guess he couldn't say no (that's cruel I know). Completing the guest list are full-time pilot and part-time actor John Travolta and Macy Gray, who is a dead ringer for that bear from The Hair Bear Bunch.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 3: Ursula Andress, Jamie Cullum, Mark Strong, Dynamo, Kings of Leon.
2007-04-13

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 4: Gilbert & George, Patsy Kensit, Alan Carr, Bryan Ferry.
2007-04-20

A curious mix of guests this week. Artists Gilbert & George who began their careers' in performance art, now better known for their brightly coloured photo-montages. Not my cup of tea to be honest, but they did win the Turner Prize in 1986. Liverpool won the League and F.A. Cup double in the same year, which probably explains why I missed their finest hour. Stephen Gerrard in full flow - now that's art.Jonathan's former warm-up man Alan Carr is back as is the woman who's had more rock stars that the green room at Live Aid, Patsy Kensit. Smooth, suited Mackem Bryan Ferry provides the music - hopefully not something by Wagner.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 5: Bill Bailey, Sarah Brightman, Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Jamie T.
2007-04-27

Bill Bailey is a funny guy, a talented musician and a Klingon nonce. He's on tour - go and see him, shout 'weasels' and hear his reply - 'dormice'! Singer, Sarah Brightman, is set to perform at this year's F.A. Cup final - I think she'll lose, which is a pity as I think she'd do well in the U.E.F.A. Cup. Music this week from Jamie T. So that's one talented musician on the programme then...

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 6: Helena Bonham Carter, Rob Brydon, Greg Rusedski,The View.
2007-05-04

Rob Brydon stars in a programme called 'Annually Retentive'. Does that mean he can or can not stand next to the piano? If you are drunk whilst watching this episode, that's Helena Bonham Carter - not Robert Smith from The Cure.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 7: Fern Britton, Phillip Schofield, Sir Alan Sugar, Rufus Wainwright, Kaiser Chiefs.
2007-05-11

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 8: Eddie Izzard, John Barrowman, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Janice Dickinson, Regina Spektor.
2007-05-18

Evita, Cats, Starlight Express - just three of the musicals written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, that I have no intention of ever going to see. John Barrowman has probably seen all of them at least 83 times. Also appearing tonight in a skirt, Janice Dickinson and possibly Eddie Izzard.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 9: Justin Lee Collins, Freema Agyeman, Ozzy Osbourne.
2007-05-25

There was a time when Ozzy liked nothing more than to tuck in to a bat's head for a snack, these days he's far happier with a delicious butter substitute. We all mellow with age. I'm worried that Justin Lee Collins will end up as the latest canine member of Ozzy's family due to his cartoon dog-like appearance. I'm sure he wouldn't get away with using the floor as a toilet as easily as Ozzy's real dogs seem to.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 10: Bear Grylls, Gordon Ramsay, Tori Spelling, Klaxons.
2007-06-01

I was going to make fun of Bear Grylls because of his name, that was until I discovered that he was in the S.A.S. so I thought better of it. If I made fun of Gordon Ramsay on the other hand, he would probably just call me a ****. (He wouldn’t be the first).

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 11: Myleene Klass, Nick Frost, Andy Roddick, My Chemical Romance.
2007-06-08

It's that time of year when the British pretend we like tennis again. Andy Roddick's appearance can only mean the EVIL that is Wimbledon is upon us. Fat women of Britain rejoice and pay £97.32p for two strawberries (you'll need to re-mortgage your house if you want cream with them). Myleene Klass who is heavily pregnant and Nick Frost who's a natural fatty also appear.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 12: Shilpa Shetty, Alex James, Rob Lowe, CSS.
2007-06-15

Shilpa Shetty; Bollywood superstar and the recipient of verbal bullying from the Bermondsey Beast, Jade Goody. Funny that, why would a fat, ignorant talentless pig pick on a beautiful, successful actress? Weird. Alex James has lead the typical rock star lifestyle: gigs, women, drinking and cheese-making. They want it all don't they?

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 13: Russell Brand, Serena Williams, Iggy & The Stooges.
2007-06-22

Serena Williams is an impressive looking woman: big and strong - all muscle and buttocks. She could easily have puny Russell Brand in a fight. Actually, I reckon she could have him, Iggy Pop and the rest of the Stooges. Jonathan, the audience, the Poofs, the piano...

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 14: Bruce Willis, Fearne Cotton, Pete Doherty, Arcade Fire.
2007-06-29

The combined weight of Fearne Cotton and Pete Doherty tops the scales at a porky 42 kilograms - 43 if they are wet. I doubt they could overpower a fractious kitten or contain an angry wasp. Bruce Willis and I share a birthday; that's about all we have in common as I have hair and a natural aversion to Demi Moore (and all her films).

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 15: J.K. Rowling, Bob Hoskins, Gok Wan, Paul Weller & Graham Coxon, The Arctic Monkeys.
2007-07-06

Rarity is the common factor this week; a TV appearance by the Arctic Monkeys which is as rare as a woman who understands the off-side rule, and something that's as rare as hen's toothpaste; an interview with Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling. Also rare - possibly unique - is a London-born Norwegian sailor - step forward Bob Hoskins. The programme is scheduled to return in September 2007.

16 episodes

Episodes
Episode 1: Keira Knightley, Simon Pegg, Adam Sandler, The Polyphonic Spree.
2007-09-07

It seems like just 63 days since Jonathan was talking to J.K. Rowling. Either that, or I can't count. However long it was, the wait is over - he's back. To kick things off, there is a rare interview with Keira Knightley who, incidentally, weighs less than Jonathan's hair. Funny man Simon Pegg and man Adam Sandler also appear on the first show. Music comes from Dallas-based twenty-three-piece band The Polyphonic Spree, who, incidentally, weigh less than Jonathan's hair.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 2: Trinny & Susannah, Samuel L. Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, KT Tunstall.
2007-09-14

This week's guests: a director who's films I don't really like; an actor who's films I don't watch; two women who make television programmes for badly dressed frumpy lasses and some Scottish warbler who's music gives me the staggers. Apart from that, I am really looking forward to it.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 3: Dame Helen Mirren, Richard Hammond Christian Slater, The Hives.
2007-09-21

There's a 'Hair Off' this week: Richard Hammond - the indestructible one from Top Gear, brings his new, flowing locks to compete with Jonathan's luscious mane. Dame Helen Mirren's naturally girly hair might not be enough to secure victory, but Christian Slater is in with a chance. If it's decided by facial hair, Dr. Matt Destruction from The Hives will walk it, even though he's bald. Bring it on!

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 4: Michael Ball, Jamie Foxx, Beth Ditto, Peter Björn & John.
2007-09-28

Four weeks into the new series and the guest list shows signs of strain, and that's not just down to Beth Ditto's bulk. Peter Björn & John are described as "Swedish folk rockers" - is it just me, or does that sound like a cue to stuff your ears with broken glass?

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 5: Michelle Pfeiffer, Ewan McGregor, Charlie Boorman, Chris Moyles, Roisin Murphy.
2007-10-05

Mother Nature is either very creative, or she's got a blinding sense of humour. How else could you explain the effortless beauty of Michelle Pfeiffer and the unconstrained ugliness of Chris Moyles? Maybe she created him with the left-overs from elephants ar**s.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 6: Jools Holland, Jake Gyllenhaal, Katie and Peter, Richard Hawley.
2007-10-12

If Katie Price's self-importance was flammable and caught fire, it would be the Great Fire of London all over again. If her talent was flammable and caught fire, it would be like a damp banger going off. Peter Andre appears tonight - he's married to the damp banger.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 7: Peter Serafinowicz, Terry Wogan, Kelly Smith, Take That.
2007-10-19

Kelly Smith, who is brilliant and will probably be the next Queen of England, appears tonight in all her shimmering glory. She will be talking about Women's Football which is absolutely excellent entertainment.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 8: Heston Blumenthal, Penny Lancaster, Kelly Brook, Cate Blanchett, Duran Duran.
2007-10-26

Heston Blumenthal has been described as a "culinary alchemist". This is a rather grand way of saying he makes porridge from snails. Kelly Brook is the latest celebrity to put her name to a perfume, sadly, the name 'Smelly Brook' was discarded pretty early on. Actress, Cate Blanchett and 'famous for being married to Rod Stewart' Penny Lancaster also appear. Duran Duran - who will perform their new song, will probably be wearing more make-up than Kelly, Cate and Penny - specifically Nick Rhodes.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 9: Gordon Ramsay, Ruth Jones, James Corden, Girls Aloud, Alicia Keys.
2007-11-02

Gordon Ramsay has more Michelin stars than any other chef, most of which have to be used to censor the swear words he uses. ****, for example.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 10: Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jimmy Carr, Katy Brand, Foo Fighters.
2007-11-09

Proud Welshman Sir Anthony Hopkins - who is now an American citizen - makes his first appearance on the show. Jimmy Carr, who just seems to be very proud of himself in general, makes what seems to be his 400th appearance.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 11: Daniel Craig, Jack Dee, Russell Brand, Hard Fi.
2007-11-23

Daniel Craig – the blond Bond; Russell Brand – the pseudo-Dickensian Cockney urchin and Jack Dee – the grumpy one who is second only to Ricky Gervais in appearances on the show.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 12: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, The Mighty Boosh, Boyzone, Kate Nash.
2007-11-30

"Fighting in the Dojo, Miso Miso Oriental Prince in the land of soup". Fans of the Boosh will understand that, other people might just be greatly disturbed. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, a man who has cooked pretty much everything on television from Cephalopoda to placenta makes a welcome début appearance on the show. The music comes from Kate Nash with her mockney stylings and 'cor blimey Mary Poppins, ain't it foggy in Larndon'?

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 13: Jeremy Clarkson, Renée Zellweger, Jerry Seinfeld, Matt Lucas, David Walliams, Adele.
2007-12-07

Quite a line-up this week: Actress Renée Zellweger who made big knickers the talk of England; Jerry Seinfeld who made some people on TV.com unhappy (see the Soup Nazi debates in the forums) and Jeremy Clarkson who makes many people unhappy all over England - particularly Wales, the United States and Bill Oddie.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 14: Will Smith, Len Goodman, Arlene Phillips, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood, Kerry Katona, Editors.
2007-12-14

Never have so many people I have never heard of appeared in the same episode. Will Smith should save the day and Kerry Katona could make it a very long day if she is 'tired and emotional'. Music from Editors, which some viewers might find entertaining.

Runtime: N/A min

25 episodes

Episodes
Episode 1: Tom Hanks, Hannah Spearritt, Chris Rock, Andrew Lee Potts, Reverend & The Makers.
2008-01-11

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. Music from Reverend & The Makers.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 2: Sir David Attenborough, Ringo Starr, Samantha Janus, Rita Simons, Hot Chip.
2008-01-18

He is a living legend; a man who was a part of the greatest model railway based children's programme of all time. He provided the voices for the fab four: Thomas, Henry Gordon and the Fat Controller � Mr. Ringo Starr. He was also in The Beatles. Also appearing on this week's show, Sir David Attenborough; friend of the Rwandan gorilla, pal of the bat and generally on nodding terms with fish.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 3: Alan Carr, Eva Longoria, Jeff Goldblum, Mary J. Blige.
2008-01-25

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.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 4: Sarah Parish, Sharon Small, Shelley Conn, Orla Brady, Britt Ekland, Naveen Andrews, Morrissey.
2008-02-01

The Cast of Mistresses join Jonathan for an innuendo-laden smut fest; Britt Ekland takes part in a 'I was married to Peter Sellers and danced naked in The Wicker Man' jamboree and Morrissey provides the music - no smut and no dancing naked. Phew.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 5: Philip Glenister, Jamie Bell, Dame Vivienne Westwood, Duffy.
2008-02-08

First it was Life on Mars, now it's Ashes to Ashes. TV cop Gene Hunt, (Philip Glenister) returns to the screen as the Manc detective who likes 'oops. Maybe the next series will be called 'The Laughing Gnome' and will be set in the seedy underworld of Legoland. Starring Tom Cruise.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 6: Nicholas Hoult, Sylvester Stallone, Katherine Jenkins, Guillemots.
2008-02-15

First Blood, Rambo, Tango and Cash. Just three of the films for which Sylvester Stallone was not nominated for an Oscar. Also appearing: Nicholas Hoult from Skins and Katherine Jenkins from Wales. Music from Guillemots.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 7: Bruce Forsyth, Forest Whitaker, Agyness Deyn, Elbow.
2008-02-22

Nice to see him, to see him... Brucie returns to the show, on what will be his 80th birthday. Also on this week's programme: Forest Whitaker, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ugandan despot Idi Amin and model Agyness Deyn, who, and let's be honest about this, is just some model. Music from Elbow.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 8: Keeley Hawes, The Rock, Gillian McKeith, Goldfrapp.
2008-02-29

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 9: Michelle Ryan, Jean-Christophe Novelli, Goldie Hawn, The Temptations.
2008-03-07

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.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 10: Gunther Von Hagens, David Baddiel, Twiggy, Siouxsie.
2008-03-21

Gunther Von Hagens is a German anatomist who likes to perform televised autopsies in front an audience. This could be the last appearance on television for either Twiggy, David Baddiel Siouxsie Soux or Jonathan. Forgo your late-night snack just in case.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 11: Trevor Eve, Donald Sutherland, Natasha Kaplinsky, The Kooks.
2008-03-28

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'. Music from the Kooks.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 12: John Hurt, Catherine Tate, David Tennant, Nigel Marven, Radiohead.
2008-04-04

David Tennant and Catherine Tate, aka, the Doctor and his new companion; John Hurt, who has played the Elephant Man and Quentin Crisp on film, but is yet to play an unconvincing alien in Doctor Who, makes a return appearance. Music from Radiohead.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 13: Mackenzie Crook, Kirsty Gallacher, Patsy Palmer, Ian Wright, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.
2008-04-18

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.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 14: Ronnie Corbett, Russell Brand, Ashton Kutcher, The Courteeners.
2008-04-25

Aston Kutcher joins Jonathan to talk about a new film, or something. Russell Brand returns, possibly trying to break Ricky Gervais' number of appearances and Ronnie Corbett makes a return appearance to the show. A man described by the BBC as a "comedy giant". Music from new band, the Courteeners.

Runtime: N/A min
Episode 15: Robert Downey Jr, Michael Aspel, Gwyneth Paltrow, The Ting Tings.
2008-05-02
