The BBC's efforts to persuade Jonathan Ross's super-agent to follow his most famous client on to the small screen have come to nothing. BBC entertainment types wanted Addison Cresswell to be their answer to Simon Cowell as a judge on a ground-breaking new Saturday night talent show hosted by Graham Norton. Alas Cresswell, who negotiated Ross's £18m contract with the corporation, has had to turn them down because of other commitments. Monkey hears Cresswell has recommended rival agent Michael Foster, "who as we all know is charm personified".
