There are panel shows galore tonight, and Pointless’s Richard Osman hosts the most ambitious of all, assessing the best of the decade in the five categories of film, television show, song, celebrity and “new thing”. Celebrity guests who will be arguing out their top choices include Jon Richardson, Lorraine Kelly, Alex Brooker and Rhianna Dhillon, while viewers can have their own say via a Twitter poll in the run-up to the show. Will Malala win celebrity of the decade, or will it be Kanye West? Ammar Kalia
