Description
Jonathan Ross kicks off in HD by blending a phone. Then he welcomes Kelly Brook, The Mighty Boosh and a medal-heavy lineup of Team GB Olympic heroes.
The new series opens in crystal clear-o-vision as Jonathan jokes about the perils of high definition and unveils a beastly 1500W blender. Inspired by Will it blend?, he pulverizes his old mobile phone and whirls up some questionable smoothies from a CD, perfume and more. Do not try this at home.
Kelly Brook is first on the sofa, fresh from a summer in Greece and happily single. She introduces her new perfume, Vivacious, and dives into her role judging Dirty Dancing: Time of Your Life on Living, where young dancers recreate iconic moments like the lake lift for a life-changing LA agency contract. Kelly also previews stepping into the West End in Fat Pig at the Comedy Theatre, and reflects on the graft behind Strictly Come Dancing and returning for the Christmas Special.
Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt of The Mighty Boosh arrive with festival tales. At Boosh Fest, Gary Numan stormed the stage and even invited Noel to do Cars, but stage fright hit. Bono wanted to drop by too, though timing made it impossible. The pair show off a lavish Boosh book packed with comics, artwork and a tongue-in-cheek psychological profile of Vince and Howard, and tease a new live tour with a band.
Finally, the couch fills with Team GB heroes from Beijing 2008: cyclists Jason, Jamie and Chris; sailors including Paul Goodison; the famed three blondes in a boat; rowers, a canoeist and boxer James DeGale. There are stories of power thighs and aero suits, funding transforming their sports, an opponent’s bite in the boxing ring, and a canoeist who balanced medical shifts with training. We hear about free McDonald’s in the Village, a near-arrest after a celebratory taxi bonnet slide, medals kept on bedside tables and thoughts on 2012, with one athlete even announcing retirement. A feel-good celebration of British sport and big laughs throughout.
