His Friday night chatshow will return to BBC1 on 23 January and his Radio 2 Saturday show the following day. Film 2009, will be back the following Monday.
Also getting a new gig is Manuel himself ... some crap soap based in a fictional suburb of Mankchester; a programme which will continue to dim the brains of all those watching it, and I'm sorry to say, those belonging to some of the fine folks who visit here.
Another group who'll be glad he's back are the moaners, people like - "Disgusted of Royal Tumbridge Wells" and "Outraged of Bedlingtonshire". Just imagine the scene ... coughing and spluttering over their Daily Mails or Telegraphs when reading about his triumphant return to our parlours, then getting-off letters of bile to those hateful organs (or even a spiteful post here).
So in the end all are happy ... Jonny's back, Brand's going down a storm in the States, Max Clifford's got the Granddaughter a ton of work, and old Sachs himself lands a well paid job on the telly. Oh, and the sacked Boss of Radio2 landed a huge job before Xmas.
