Frank Skinner

John Prescott is among Frank Skinner's guests tonight in the last of the current series of Room 101 (BBC1, 8.30pm).

"Labour party legend," is how Frank actually introduces him. Bet he's not been called that before.

And among the former Deputy Prime Minister's gripes? Footballers' goal celebrations. Especially the whole lifting-the- shirt thing.

Frank, who of course is a West Bromwich Albion nut, warms to this theme, pointing out the problem with those celebrations where players have a pre-planned message scrawled on their T-shirt underneath - ready for the dramatic moment when, having hit the back of the net, they can reveal it to the crowd.

His concern is that for some players this wait can be a tad long. "A bloke scored at the Albion about two months ago," he goes, "and his T-shirt said, 'Who shot JR..?'"

If Friday night panel shows are your thing, then you could do a lot worse than this likeable option hosted by an on-form Frank Skinner. Three celebrities compete to banish their pet hates to the hellish environs of Room 101. Tonight, former EastEnders actor Larry Lamb, comedian David O'Doherty and TV and radio presenter Lauren Laverne square off against each other, the last of whom wants to can fake tan ("We're walking around looking like a nation of Oompa Loompas," she laments).

Frank Skinner can't wait to be a first-time dad at 55

The comic has built a career as a hardened cynic - but he says his softer side is emerging now he's going to become a dad.

Frank Skinner's therapy before Sport Relief challenge

Frank Skinner is having therapy to cure his terror of water - so he can complete a swimming challenge and raise money for Sport Relief.

Frank Skinner is going to regret this episode for the rest of his life. Days after the announcement of the comedian's impending fatherhood, he puts "children" in the bin. OK, so he's aided and abetted by Alistair McGowan, who made the suggestion in the first place, but this is going to become top-class emotional leverage for Skinner Junior later on in life.

McGowan does warn us that he's morphed into a latter-day Victor Meldrew, but it's surprising just how angry he seems (perhaps the wind changed when he was filming Grumpy Old Men). Skinner's other guests are Dragon Hilary Devey and singer/songwriter Josh Groban, who can't compete with McGowan's glower.

Gruff-voiced businesswoman and Dragons' Den regular Hilary Devey, impressionist Alistair McGowan and American singer Josh Groban are Frank Skinner's guests on tonight's edition of the comedy panel show. As ever, there are no shortage of pet hates to be discussed, with particular vitriol reserved for supermarkets, the smoking ban and Valentine's Day.

Germaine Greer takes a pop at computer pop-ups (she has no idea what they are) and fun runs, but reveals she's so out of touch with public opinion she gets heckled. Just as well comedian Ross Noble and pop star turned businesswoman Jamelia have more of a common touch as they aim health & safety and txt spk at Frank Skinner's sparkly chute of oblivion. But they're all upstaged by a stonking turn from folk street dancers Time Gentlemen Please!

Four episodes in and the panel format is working so well it's hard to remember Room 101 in its previous incarnation. Frank Skinner's consummate ease with a one-liner helps. And it's Skinner's quick-witted to-and-fro with Ross Noble that propels the show as the panel discuss Noble's beefs with folk dancing and health and safety measures: "The reason we have danger is to get rid of idiots," claims Noble.

Also up for dissection are Jamelia's dislike of text speak and Germaine Greer's hatred of computer pop-ups and fun runs: "Why don't they just write a cheque?" she asks. We think she has a point, but will Skinner agree?

Free-wheeling Geordie comic Ross Noble, award-winning R&B singer Jamelia and the academic and journalist Germaine Greer are Frank Skinner's guests on tonight'' edition of this long-running comedy show. They give good value for money, campaigning for a wide range of items to be sent to their doom in Room 101 - including health and safety, actors, text speak and folk dancing.

The celebrity booker's net trawls and catches Ross Noble, Jamelia and Germaine Greer - who might just be the first recipient of a Room 101 audience heckle. A bland heckle, but for a couple of vaguely seditious seconds it wobbles the cosy carapace. As does host Frank Skinner's unexpectedly serious and prolonged defence of English folk dancing in the face of Noble's lame and obvious put-downs. That said, Noble's observation of recumbent cycling seems pretty spot-on: "Handy, cos you're already in the coffin position."
