List of Horne & Corden episodes

Horne & Corden is a British sketch show written by, and starring, Mathew Horne and James Corden (Gavin and Stacey) and aired on BBC television. The first episode was broadcast on 10 March 2009 on BBC Three. It is presented by Mathew Horne and James Corden in front of a live audience, in a style reminiscent of Morecambe and Wise, featuring pre-recorded sketches (often on location) and vignettes filmed in a studio with an audience. The first episode even had a song and dance routine as the final piece of the episode, still in keeping with a Morecambe and Wise tradition of variety/comedy show.[1] The first episode attracted the highest ratings for a comedy show debut on BBC Three.[2]

While there were talks of a second series,[3] declining ratings and negative reviews prompted the show's cancellation, with Corden himself calling the sketch show a "mistake".[4]
