Forget the Watchdog team, comic Joe Lycett has fast-established himself as the best person to come to with our consumer queries and commercial woes over the past two seasons of his playful show, taking corporations to task at our behest.

The Story of Late Night

The US culture of rival late-night talkshows is so insular that the UK has missed out on a decades-long saga of banter, boundary-pushing and backstabbing.
