During the two year, seven months run of "Gavin & Stacey", Corden's professional endeavours outside the successful series proved somewhat chequered. He guest hosted "Big Brother's Big Mouth", with "Gavin & Stacey" co-star Mathew Horne, in August 2007. In 2008, he appeared in the film of Toby Young's 2001 autobiography "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People". He collaborated again with Horne on a 2009 sketch show named "Horne & Corden", described by the BBC as a "traditional comedy entertainment show in the style of Morecambe and Wise". The show ran for only one series and was poorly received by the critics, with Corden later admitting "the absolute truth is I wasn't good enough."
