What a difference a year can make. Just over 12 months ago, with the Sachsgate row hanging over him, Jonathan Ross announced his departure from the BBC. Now he has been awarded an honorary fellowship from the National Film and Television school, along with Wild At Heart and Life on Mars writer Ashley Pharoah. At the event Ross, who starts his new ITV chatshow later this year, said: "Film has always been a passion of mine, and I have always admired and supported the work done at the National Film and Television school, so being honoured by them is a genuinely flattering and humbling experience. I also would like to take this opportunity to state that I still believe Sex and the City 2 should have been nominated for at least one Bafta." Previous fellowship recipients have included Sir David Attenborough, Sir David Lean, Harry Potter director David Yates. And Andrew Sachs. Actually Monkey just made that last one up.
