    couple more to go first I got my Late Late show dates wrong... back this week I think?

    And X-Factor won't be back for another 6 weeks if the rumors are to be believed.

    Ah, the late late show gets a bit of a bad rap, but the odd one isnt bad, depends entirely on the guests of course & if you manage to get the one week in 6 with someone interesting on it it'll do until Graham Norton starts on bbc1.

    Love Graham Norton, always gets great guests and everyone seems to love been on the show and enjoys themselves.

    Is Jonathan Ross coming back? Like him as well and he usually gets good people on.
