Hee hee.

The Sooty Christmas Show, Garrick Theatre, WC2, to New Year's Eve

4 suggestions for The X Factor 2012, by Marvin JLS

1 Bring back Simon Cowell

It would be a crime if Simon doesn't return next year. He should sit on a hydraulic chair above the other judges with the power to overrule everyone.

2 Force Dermot to dance

Dermot should have to do a dance routine at the end of each show, and the judges decide whether he stays to present next week, or is replaced by Phillip Schofield.

3 Give the judges a buzzer

I miss when Simon used to put his hand in his air. Everyone just shouts these days. They should buzz if they want to speak.

4 Introduce I'm A Celebrity-style bushtucker challenges

The finalists should have to eat witchetty grubs while they're waiting to sing. They should also have to do the course from Total Wipeout.

JLS' new single Do You Feel What I Feel? is out on New Year's Day

10 top Joneses, chosen by Milton Jones

1 Indiana Jones

2 James Earl Jones

3 Norah Jones

4 Tom Jones

5 Bridget Jones

6 Davy Jones

7 Corporal Jones

8 Terry Jones

9 The Dow Jones Index

10 Catherine Zeta-Jones

Milton Jones: The Lion Whisperer is out on DVD now

Dynamo's must-have watches

1 Rolex Matte Black Submariner

I always saw Rolexes as old man's watches until I saw this one.

2 Hublot Big Bang

If you're not a high-flying rapper or a Premier League footballer then you probably won't ever own one. But we can all dream!

3 Meccaniche Veloci Quattro Valvole

This was the watch I got for myself when I signed the deal for my first TV series. It has four clock faces so you can keep track of four different time zones at the same time. I had to get it!

4 Audemars Piguet Prestige Sports Royal Oak Offshore Navy Chronograph

If you want to really show your watch credentials, it's all about this baby, but at �18,490 you might need to bring security!

5 Jacob & Co Epic II E15 Ferrari Red Dial Limited Edition

One of the only Jacob watches that isn't covered in diamonds. I'm not really into all the bling.

6 Chanel J12 Black Ceramic

Chanel watches have a quality to them that makes them timeless ? no pun intended!

7 Casio Military Spec G-Shock With Night Vision

This is the watch I wear most days. It's practically indestructible.

8 Classic Casio CMD 40-1ZT Remote Control

If conversation runs dry, you can always use it to turn on the TV.

Dynamo: Magician Impossible is out on DVD now


THE UNAVOIDABLES

The people who defined the year by being all over it

Ryan Gosling

Blue Valentine, Drive, Crazy Stupid Love, The Ides of March

Women went crazy for him, men went gay for him, even puppies admitted Ryan was the cutest of them all.

Jessie J

Conquering UK & America, understanding people with no legs

Octave-abuser Jessie J went from new artist to queen of pop to talent-show judge in 12 months. Next year, it'll be panto.

Jessica Chastain

The Tree of Life, The Debt, Texas Killing Fields, The Help, Take Shelter

Everyone wanted a piece of the classy new redhead on the block, and whaddya know? Everyone got one!

Professor Green

Rapping, guest-rapping, services to T4

He released his own album, and guested on others, but Pro G's real achievement was being ubiquitous on youth TV, from his own reality show to Hollyoaks.

Stephen Graham

Boardwalk Empire, This Is England 88, Pirates ?, Tinker...

He used to be Britain's go-to psycho, now he's everyone's go-to psycho.

Olivia Colman

Rev, Twenty Twelve, Exile, The Iron Lady, Arrietty, Tyrannosaur

From long-suffering to long-suffering and not about to take it any more, Colman was mustard.

Tom Hiddleston

Archipelago, Thor, Midnight In Paris, The Deep Blue Sea

Eton, Cambridge, Rada, Asgard: say hello to Britain's new toff at the top.

Daniel Craig

Cowboys & Aliens, The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn, Dream House, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

With Bond temporarily out of action, Craig took what quanta of solace he could find.


5 PUKES THAT SHAPED OUR YEAR

Perhaps it was caused by disgust at the state of the world, or maybe there was a lot of uncooked seafood about; either way you were never far from a pool of vomit in 2011.

Rihanna

At the climax of We Found Love, the Daily Mail's least-favourite pop diva puked ribbons. It could have been a comment on Broken Britain (the vid's set on a council estate, oddly) but more likely she confused party poppers with the pick'n'mix.

The Inbetweeners

You don't get to be the most successful British comedy movie of all time with just puke gags, but Will's boat party boking binge certainly didn't hurt.

Bridesmaids

You don't get to be the most successful etc etc ? but the girls outdid the boys when a dodgy Brazilian buffet erupted everywhere.

Contagion

In order to convey the seriousness of his global epidemic, Steven Soderbergh had to show Kate Winslet hacking her guts up. It worked.

Frankie Cocozza

May well have up-chucked during his "wild night out". He made us sick, anyway.
