The Masked Singer is back, with fans tuning in every Saturday night to try to guess which celebrity is behind each costume.
Comedian Joel Dommett has returned to host proceedings, with 13 mystery stars singing familiar songs on stage, while dressed up in an outfit obscuring their identity.
Guessing along with the in-studio audience and the viewers at home are the judges: Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross.
One way to help narrow things down is checking out who’s been on the series before – as it seems unlikely they’d return to the show (although not impossible).
So here’s a full list of who appeared on seasons one, two, three and four…
Season one
Winner: Nicola Roberts – Queen Bee
Jason Manford – Hedgehog
Katherine Jenkins – Octopus
CeeLo Green – Monster
Denise van Outen – Fox
Jake Shears – Unicorn
Skin – Duck
Kelis – Daisy
Teddy Sheringham – Tree
Justin Hawkins – Chameleon
Alan Johnson...

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker brought back many notable characters from Sw history, from the grand return of Palpatine to those vocal cameos at its climax. There’s one that even the most hardcore fan would be hard-pressed to pick up on, though. Partly because they’re only briefly on screen in the background of one scene, but mostly because they look nothing like they did the last time we saw them.
The character in question is Dengar, one of the bounty hunters employed by Vader in The Empire Strikes Back (as played by Morris Bush). Inspecting the images below, you wouldn’t think this creepy-looking cyborg with the emaciated inhuman face was the same person as the humanoid hunter from the Original Trilogy. But yup, that’s what’s heavily implied by the movie’s Visual Dictionary.
A crazy Star Wars thing is that a character that briefly...

Paterson Joseph chats to us about Good Omens, Peep Show, being cut from Paddington, and why he'd "never say never" to playing the Doctor...
Where do you begin with Paterson Joseph? Be it on stage or the small screen, he’s popped up everywhere from Shakespeare to Survivors, from Casualty to Green Wing. To some, he’s the suave, sharply dressed and, latterly, lapsed alcoholic Alan Johnson in Peep Show. But to others, this writer included, he’ll always be the mysterious, flamboyant swashbuckler, the Marquis de Carabas, from Neil Gaiman’s rich sub-London fantasy Neverwhere.
Now, he’s appearing on BBC Radio 4 in a festive double bill of prestige productions. First, he’s giving voice to fast-food mogul and horseman of the apocalypse Famine in Good Omens, adapted from the novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Then, on New Year’s Day, he’s Pierre, the passionate protagonist...

Even the most hardened cynic couldn't fail to be moved by Alan Johnson's story of his tough upbringing
• The Essay: The Book that Changed Me
"David Copperfield entered my life at the time my mother left it."
As a series opener, Alan Johnson's first line for The Essay: The Book that Changed Me sets the bar pretty high in the emotive stakes. Not only does the former home secretary construct a portrait of turmoil and grief, drawing parallels between his own childhood and Dickens's, but he manages it in a way that chips away at the cynicism reserved for politicians. It's just all too sincere and heartfelt. "When [Dad] ran off with the barmaid from the village pub in 1958, [Mum] saw it as a defeat. We saw it as a victory; life would be better without him."
Johnson rails against his dad (a drunk, gambler and cheat, in that order...

After 10 years and eight series, Peep Show is expected to bow out in 2014 with a final farewell for the world's worst flatmates, Mark and Jeremy. The El Dude Brothers may well be no more.
Launching the careers of David Mitchell and Robert Webb and making every 30-something loser feel a lot better about themselves, the show is quite rightly considered one of Channel 4's greatest ever comedies. Here are 12 reasons that we're going to miss it terribly.
1. Because Jeremy is the greatest Big Brother contestant that never was
"I'm basically an upmarket Bubble".
2. Super Hans. And everything he's taught us about the music scene.
"The whole industry is run by suits. Sitting behind their big marble desks, ties done up to 11, clicking their fingers to the f**king Lighthouse Family, getting their d**ks sucked by a big Alsatian dog. They're all perverts, mate."
3. Alan Johnson. The Johnson is here.

Life and work of Iain Banks to be honoured at 30th festival, with Salman Rushdie, Margaret Atwood and Neil Gaiman also featuring in two-week event partnered by the Guardian
The life and works of the late Iain Banks will be celebrated by close friends including Ian Rankin and Val McDermid in a special event at this August's Edinburgh international book festival, for which the Guardian is media partner.
"Scotland and the world were rocked by his death last weekend," said Nick Barley, the festival director. "We'd been planning a celebration anyway as we're marking our 30th birthday, and his first novel, The Wasp Factory, was out in 1984. I spoke to him many times about what he'd like to do. He wanted to be there – sadly he can't be."
Instead, the event on the festival's closing Sunday will see Scottish authors including Rankin, McDermid and Ken MacLeod looking back over Banks's 29-year career.

Michael revisits the 1996 incarnation of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, a magical BBC series that was ahead of its time...
Spoiler warning: While this article is about a 17-year old TV programme, it inevitably discusses plot points that are also present in the currently-broadcasting radio drama remake.
“Let me tell you a story. No, wait, one’s not enough. I’ll begin again...”
So reads the back-cover blurb of Neil Gaiman’s 2006 short story anthology Fragile Things, but it’s as apt a beginning as any for an expedition back through the knotted overgrowths of time to the author’s 1996 foray into television: the six-part miniseries Neverwhere.
Now, let’s get this out of the way first: there is no single, true ‘Neverwhere’. Like its signature setting, a semi-mythological, hidden version of London that exists below the streets of Britain’s capital, Neverwhere is a...

The top 10 best Adam Sandler movies. Comedian. Actor. Musician. Singer. Writer. Producer. Swell guy (probably). The sum of all these parts makes Adam Sander who he is today; a much loved and much viewed working entertainer. He makes us laugh. He makes it look easy. There are few comedic actors when have been at the top of the box office for as long as The Sandman, so let’s appreciate this multi-talented dude.
10. 50 First Dates (2004)
50 First Dates (not to be confused with the similar-sounding 51st State starring Samuel L. Jackson) is the 2nd collaboration between the Sandman and Drew Barrymore after The Wedding Singer.
Set in Hawaii, Sandler is Henry Roth, a ladies man (!) who falls for Drew’s character Lucy Whitmore. After managing to romance her, he wakes up the next morning to find she has forgotten who he is and has no prior knowledge of the previous day’s events.

The ban on radio personality Michael Savage to Britain has been lifted. United Kingdom Home Secretary Alan Johnson reportedly has lifted the edict for Mr. Savage, according to Wnd.com. Mr. Savage was lumped in a varied group of Islamic hate preachers, racial bigots and terrorists. With an estimated 8 million listeners and broadcast on 400 radio stations, Mr. Savage hosts the nation's third most popular radio talk show in the U.S. According to the website, Mr. Savage was involved in a lawsuit with previous UK Home Secretary Jacqui Smith for libel, who put Mr. Savage in the ban list described as the "least wanted" visitors to the country. Smith, according to the website, admitted she was not...
