Matthew Horne and James Corden got a reward from the BBC for the success of their sitcom "Gavin & Stacey" (which is co-written by Corden)--their own sketchcom for digital young-skewing BBC3 (where "G&S" started before moving up to BBC1). "Horne & Corden" premiered last night and the critics were lukewarm at best:
