James Corden had a triumphant homecoming on Monday night as he taped the “The Late Late Show” in London, U.K., the first date in a week-long residence in Corden’s homeland.
In addition to an enthusiastic local crowd that included Corden’s parents, his wife Julia and his two eldest children, as well as executive producer Ben Winston’s father Lord Robert Winston, Corden was joined in the makeshift studio by guests Billie Eilish and “Stranger Things'” David Harbour as well as Lizzo via a Carpool Karaoke episode pre-recorded in Los Angeles.
It is the first time Corden has brought “The Late Late Show” to British shores since 2019 and it will also be the last time, with the host due to step down from the gig next spring.
Corden’s imminent abdication — and what he plans to do next — came up a number of times during the show. Playing...

Michael Mosley is a name that arguably not many people would know outside of BBC Four or Horizon fans. Which is a shame, because the journalist and presenter has been one of the finest documentary-makers for many years.
The Indian-born producer is back for his latest Horizon special tonight (August 18), so if you have yet to tune in to one of his many scientific journeys, this would be a great time to start.
After producing a number of science programmes for the BBC, including Robert Winston's The Human Face and Jeremy Clarkson's Inventions that Changed the World, Mosley stepped in front of the camera for BBC Four's excellent Medical Mavericks in 2008.
The four-part series delved into the history of the scientists and doctors who went to great lengths to further the world, often in rather grotesque ways.
This has become the benchmark for Mosley's programmes. His shows focus on science,...

Kate Middleton stepped out in London on Monday, looking gorgeous as she made her way to a conference about children's mental health at The Royal Society of Medicine. Prince William reportedly attended as well, and they both listened to professor Robert Winston give a keynote address at the annual Place2Reflect event for the charity Place2Be, of which Kate is a patron. The past couple of months have been quieter for Kate, Prince William, and Prince George, seeing as they made nearly daily appearances on their royal tour of Australia and New Zealand back in April. Most recently, we caught a glimpse of the family when Kate and Will brought Prince George to a polo match over Father's Day weekend. Kate kept her eye on the mobile little prince as he crawled around, while Will competed in the match. We're crossing our fingers for another sighting as the royal...

Tragedy turned Carol Grayson into a campaigner for the truth, on the NHS tainted blood scandal and the Iraq war
Halfway through the Oscars, a triumphant yell could wake light sleepers in Newcastle if the shoestring budget film Incident in New Baghdad walks off with the short documentary award.
Perched in front of the TV at her Tyneside flat, a nurse from Hartlepool will toast her other, very different role: as executive producer of a whistle-blowing production, based on an incident first made public by the WikiLeaks website, which has attracted plaudits around the world.
Carol Grayson's advice and part-financing for the story of collateral killings in Iraq, their cover-up and aftermath, is the latest part of a remarkable modern pilgrim's progress. Driven by personal tragedy to investigate the infected blood scandal of the 1970s and 80s – described by Lord Winston as "the worst treatment disaster in the history of...

Once the famous just fronted charity appeals. Now an increasing number are putting their weight behind political causes. Leo Benedictus investigates the rise of the celebrity activist
These are early days, of course, but it is possible Hugh Grant has changed the world. It was only at the last minute that his former partner, Jemima Khan, recruited him to write for The New Statesman, but now his article turning the tables on the phone hackers has created a sensation around the world, crashing the magazine's website, and being tweeted nearly 10,000 times.
What Grant did was not, in itself, extraordinary. Following a chance encounter with Paul McMullan, a former News of the World journalist and self-confessed phone-hacker, the actor arranged to visit him again in the pub he now owns. What McMullan did not realise was that Grant, himself a victim of the phone-hackers, planned to record their conversation secretly. Though mildly brave,...

His school project only proved that most of the pupils didn't deserve the attention they got
Thank the Lord, Jamie's Dream School has finished. That programme was bad for the blood pressure. Can it have been the dodgiest, most dangerous TV series ever broadcast?
I know: we've had Ibiza Uncovered, The James Whale Show and that one where Rebecca Loos whacked off a pig. But at least those programmes never pretended to be anything but awful. This one claimed to be useful and well-meaning. It was a mugger dressed like a man from the gas board.
Here is the evil genius of Jamie's Dream School. It was perfectly devised to attract sappy, middle-class liberals like me. It was a Channel 4 documentary about education. It had Andrew Motion and Robert Winston in it. It had a biosphere and a scene at the Globe. It promised to help unlucky, underprivileged teenagers...

Cherie Blair has revealed how students in Jamie's Dream School tried to embarrass her when she stepped into the role of their teacher. A number of personalities including Rolf Harris, Alastair Campbell and Professor Robert Winston will appear in the new Channel 4 series, in which Jamie Oliver has set up a school for teenagers who have struggled in the education system. "I liked the idea," Blair told ITV's This Morning. "I like Jamie Oliver - I think he does some fantastic work and when he approached me to do this, I thought it is a fantastic idea. Because I'm a judge and I've worked in my legal career with young mums or youths that have been excluded from school, I knew a little bit about what it was like."

King's Speech stars join Stephen Fry and Joanna Lumley in urging public to back reform at May poll
Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter have injected some glamour into what had been the preserve of political anoraks by announcing they will support the yes campaign for the alternative vote.
Firth, feted for his role as the stammering George VI in The King's Speech, said: "The referendum is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change our clapped-out politics for good. I'll be voting yes."
Bonham Carter, a cousin of the Liberal Democrat peer Baroness Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury and a friend of Samantha Cameron, also came out in support of the campaign. She won a Bafta on Sunday night as best supporting actress for her role as Queen Elizabeth alongside Firth in The King's Speech.
Firth recently withdrew his support for the Liberal Democrats, admitting he had been disappointed by their role in the coalition government.
