Harry Hill’s Tea-Time will return to Sky One for a brand new series on 2nd January 2018, bringing one part chat show and one part cookery spoof show to the dinner table with guests including Sir Trevor McDonald, Jessie Wallace, Twiggy, Jenny Agutter, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Kate Humble.
When a show is on its thirteenth series it would be understandable if it was starting to look a bit tired and ragged around the edges. But Live at the Apollo has survived a move – some might say relegation – from BBC1 to BBC2 and established a format that works well and could last for some time yet. In fact judging by the first episode of the new series it is better than ever. Didn't it once feature grinning celebrities in the audience in the past?
Micky Flanagan has bucked the trend for DVD sales, which are declining this year. He has topped the charts with sales that are up 20% on his last No. 1 DVD four years ago.
Flanagan is currently outselling many Hollywood movies as well as all stand-up DVDs in the UK.

Susan Calman and Kevin Clifton will be banking on the voting public to get through this week's Strictly Come Dancing in Blackpool.
The duo came last on Saturday's show.
Their American Smooth routine and paso doble left them well behind the rest of the celebrity dancers when the judges voted. But the public vote may save them yet. Calman is proving to be one of the most popular dancers on the show.
Matt Berry is not currently writing new episodes of Toast of London, contrary to stories on the internet.
During an interview with Stewart Maconie and Mark Radcliffe on BBC6 Music on Friday Berry was asked if there would be any more of the Channel 4 sitcom about the dissolute, deluded actor and voiceover artiste Steven Toast. Berry said: " 'Yes, there will be."
Iain Lee has joined I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
The broadcaster and comedian was plunged straight into the action and had to compete in a snake-strewn Bushtucker Trial agsinst fellow newbie, politician Kezia Dugdale.
Lee won and as a result was made Prime Minister of the camp, moving into "10 Downing Creek". He chose stand-up comic Shappi Khorsandi as his deputy.
