Armstrong and Miller host proceedings, with the magicians Penn & Teller and Dynamo on the bill. Rowan Atkinson, Sandi Toksvig, Cheryl Tweedy and Kylie also appear.

As befits a sketch show that made its debut online, this takes aim at the internet and gaming culture, beginning with a Facebook morality tale that's as likely to make you wince as guffaw. Appropriately, the comics include YouTube stars Chris Kendall and Jenny Bede, who made a name for herself after spoofing Cheryl Cole, while Peter Serafinowicz supplies a deadpan voiceover. Highlights include a Sherlock sketch in which the investigator's ability to see clues everywhere proves more hindrance than help, and a prime minister who can't tear himself away from his laptop.

The PE teacher's done a runner, so Fraser decides that Alfie should coach the students for the biggest football match of the year. Jack Whitehall's hapless toff teacher's knowledge of the beautiful game is skimpy; he doesn't even know there's a second half. Things get worse when he comes face to face with his old teacher, who's coaching the opposition. Can a Cheryl Cole-inspired pep talk at half time help Alfie's rubbish team win the match? If calling someone a "spineless little tagnut" makes you titter then you'll find much to guffaw at here, especially in the final moments.

If you had to decide which of Jonathan's guests tonight should be showered in glory for entertainment titanhood, much would depend on personal taste. Cheryl Cole is a fashion figurehead, proud guardian of regional accents and singer of countless hits, one of which she'll be performing tonight. Andrew Lloyd Webber is a composer of much-loved musicals, owner of six grand theatres and the perpetrator of TV casting shows like Superstar.

They both do charitable work and have carefully styled hair. Happily, Ross is the kind of chat show host who's got enough bonhomie for both Cheryl and Andrew to leave the sofa having been thoroughly coated.

The student-level pranks continue, with the aim of catching greedy companies, celebrities and politicians bang to rights. Although the targets are well chosen, there's a feeling that the japes don't go far enough to stir up controversy, or indeed, comedy. TV presenter Zam Zmith baffles Cheryl Cole and the Wanted with some big questions on the red carpet, and reporter Dale Maily gets stuck in at the Jubilee celebrations. The pranksters also spring a surprise on Vodafone, test the Lynx effect and find that EDF are not overly bothered by the presence of freezing grannies in their lobby.

Interview: Gráinne Maguire

Witty and original, Gráinne Maguire knows as much about the coalition government as she does Cheryl Cole's hairstyle choices. She just wants two simple things from life - to sing Don't go Breaking my Heart with Peter Mandelson and always to be where the fun times roll. Her guide to happiness is also simple - just don't miss out on anything. Ever. You see? Piss easy. Writer for 8 Out of 10 Cats, Radio 4's Now Show and News Quiz.
