Watch a video of Tom Cruise doing a really dangerous sky-dive here, and then wipe the sweat from your brow and thank the Heavens (which Tom was quite near) that you have fully entrenched your arse into that office chair of yours and are completely safe and in no danger of death, apart from the small chance that you might die of boredom

Big whoop, I once put an entire pack of Dairy Lunchables in my mouth at a talent show once. I’d like to see you do that, Tom

Richard Madeley is this country’s greatest television presenter, perhaps the world’s

Watch a clip of him being the most Dad version of Alan Partridge that you’ve ever seen here - he’s getting out of control, the man is spiraling into an incomprehensible oblivion and I shall be there every step of the way, regardless of the difficulty involved when trying to survive in a Black Hole
