Channel 4's Big Fat Quiz Of The Year. It wasn't just the controversial jokes about the Queen and the boozy antics of those contestants who appeared to be taking part in a Big Fat Ego Of The Year side contest.

No, the biggest shock was that in a line-up that contained Gabby Logan and six men who are (over)paid to be amusing for a living, Logan ended up being the third funniest.

As for Jimmy Carr's question, 'What does YOLO stand for?' Dunno, Jim. But in your case I'm guessing it's You Owe Lots Of...

On Tuesday morning rumours from within the Miranda camp suggested the current third series would be the last.

But I'm more concerned about the fact that the fewer actual belly laughs an episode contains the louder the bullying laughter track becomes.

Yes, I know it's filmed in front of a live studio audience, but having heard some of the out-of-kilter shrieking and hollering lately I cannot believe things are not helped along a little in post-production.

Let's be honest: a) nothing is that funny and, b) no one in the audience can be on that much medication.

Sharon Horgan's effort was the pick of Sky1's latest lot of Little Crackers but honourable mentions must go to Paul O'Grady and Jason Manford.

It was great to see O'Grady back as Lily Savage, while Manford was very brave basing his tale on his own teenage circumcision.

He even got to dress up as a big-breasted blonde nurse. So maybe all that business on Skype was for research after all.

After the success of Chris O'Dowd's Moone Boy and Kathy Burke's Walking And Talking it was hard not to expect big things from Sky1's latest lot of Little Crackers.

But I can't see any of this year's first batch making it to a full series. Joanna Lumley's much-hyped look back at her early modelling days was particularly uninspiring. But with efforts from the likes of Paul O'Grady, Sharon Horgan and Jason Manford still to come this week perhaps we shouldn't give up all hope just yet.

On paper, Channel 4's Friday-night offering Peter Kay: In Conversation with Danny Baker looked to be one of the week's more random pieces of TV. But what a treat for viewers to enjoy one of the funniest men in Britain chatting away in such a relaxed and open manner. With Peter Kay.

Now that BBC2's Never Mind The Buzzcocks is looking well past its best and Channel 4's 8 Out Of 10 Cats is rapidly running out of lives, the 10pm Monday slot is fast becoming an elephants' graveyard for once mighty TV panel shows. And I still don't understand the logic of C4's dim young things moving a quiz about the biggest news stories of the week from its traditional Friday night slot to the beginning of the week. Unless they want it killed off, of course.

If ever there was a cut and dried case of the muck cart following the Lord Mayor's show, last Sunday night on Channel 4 was it. At 10pm we had the return of Peep Show, now into its eighth series and on this evidence still at the very top of its game.

That Channel 4 chose to follow it up with Kookyville, an unscripted and woefully unfunny sketch show featuring members of the public was the most bizarre piece of scheduling I've seen since Channel 5 ran a Fred West documentary immediately after a show called Half Built House. And almost as offensive.

It was heartening to see the arrival of UK Gold's new five-part series Bring Me Morecambe And Wise on Thursday. Mainly because horrifying memories were still fresh in the mind of Chris Moyles's bewilderingly egocentric Children In Need routine in which he gurned his way between those Eric and Ernie holograms during Bring Me Sunshine.

Fortunately, ten minutes of this series would surely have been enough to convince even Moyles himself of this stark truth: he is not even fit to play the 'And' in Morecambe And Wise.

Step forward Kerry Howard. Her character, Laura, in BBC3's Him And Her is the most grotesque sitcom creature I've seen in some time. And having watched The Jeremy Kyle Show the most terrifying thing is, I'm sure people like Laura exist in real life. If exist is the right word.

It's fair to say Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse have overmined the black-and-white movie seam in the latest series of Harry & Paul. But I'll happily forgive them that particular obsession. Because their gutting of Ricky Gervais last Sunday was as merciless as their On The Buses meets Sherlock sketch was inspired. If you're quick you might still catch them on iPlayer.
