reviews, news & interviews

As Jonathan Ross is an incorrigible tweeter, theartsdesk has decided to review his last stand on the BBC on Twitter. Adam Sweeting and Jasper Rees will watch Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and tweet a joint review live as the programme goes out. The show begins at 10.35pm on BBC One on 16 July.

In order to catch their live review live, you'll need to sign up to Twitter, if you haven't already. Follow SweetingAdam on Twitter here and JasperRees here. (NB don't confuse SweetingAdam with another Adam Sweeting on Twitter. theartsdesk Adam's avatar is a picture of his red sports car being towed away. Jasper's, for the record, is of a bloke playing a French horn.)

They'll be commenting on a valedictory line-up comprising David Beckham, Jackie Chan, Mickey Rourke and Roxy Music. After the show we'll put their combined tweets up on theartsdesk. Of course it could be a train wreck.

If you don't already follow theartsdesk's tweets, do sign up for them here.
