Jason Manford is rarely off our TV screens at the moment. After a short hiatus from the telly following his One Show departure (and those tweets), he's fronting ITV1's primetime reality show Show Me The Funny and Saturday night gameshow Odd One In with Peter Andre and Bradley Walsh. We fired some quick Qs at Jason earlier this year to find out his ideas on TV heaven and TV hell.

What's your favourite ever TV gameshow?
Generation Game, You Bet! and Strike it Lucky.

Who were your TV comedy heroes?
"Bill Cosby, Larry David, Peter Kay, Les Dawson and Leonard Rossiter.

What was your favourite children's TV show?
"Cartoons mainly, Tom and Jerry and Wacky Races."

What's your favourite ever sitcom?
"Rising Damp, closely followed by Modern Family."

Would you ever take part in a reality TV show?
"I don't think so, but ask me again once the tax bill comes in."

What TV show gets you reaching for the remote?
"Jeremy Vile."

If you cameo on any TV show, which one would it be?
"I'd like to be a murderer on Columbo."

Peter Andre's The Next Chapter or Bradley Walsh's Wheel Of Fortune  - which is better?
"Oooh that's a toughy, can I say neither, haha!"

Who would you hate to be locked in the Big Brother house with?
"Probably Peter Andre and Bradley Walsh after they read the answer to the last question."

Jason Manford's Show Me The Funny airs tonight on ITV1 at 9pm. Manford, Andre and Walsh also continue on gameshow Odd One In on Saturday nights
