Jonathan Ross is Back!!

So, tonight saw the return of Jonathan Ross to our screens. Although he deserved his ban, hopefully he will still be as irreverent as he was before. He's not everyone's cup of tea, but he does earn his money - a chat show, a radio show and film reviews - its not as though he just does a half-hour show each week!! And then he'll be presenting the BAFTA's next month. No peace for the wicked!
