List of ''Horne & Corden'' episodes

Horne & Corden is a British sketch show written by, and starring, Mathew Horne and James Corden (Gavin & 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]
