Son of erstwhile Catchphrase host Roy, Phil's routine a slick, high-energy barrage of gags and observations.

While there is little distinctive about his style, except perhaps his appalling shirt, his pacey routine was expertly executed.

Others have done gags about Britain's curling gold medal, or the pitfalls of hosting a Commonwealth Games in Manchester, but few with such assured pizzazz.

However, it's somewhat of a triumph of style over unmemorable content.
