Caz and Caitlin Moran's excellent and highly quotable comedy returns to the Garry household for a second series, and 16-year-old Germaine (Helen Monks) is still banging on about her bodily functions to all and sundry. After mum Della (Rebekah Staton) switches off the wi-fi ("I'm not paying £29.99 a month to beam pixels through the friggin' air"), the Garry children slope off to the library, where Germaine's flirting practice leads to the unimaginable: an actual date. She preps for it by dousing her wrists in her own vaginal fluid.

Raised By Wolves series 2 episode 1: 'fizzingly funny'

Raised By Wolves packs more ideas and invention into one episode than lesser comedies do in an entire series. Besides, any programme where the favoured insult is "wazzock" is fine by me.

Edinburgh preview: Andrew Watts

The title might have a nod to Caitlin Moran, the middle class attitudes might have a whiff of early Miles Jupp, but Watts is growing into a comedian of some stature in his own right.

"Right, let's do some parenting, then," maintains formidable mother-of-six Della in Caroline and Caitlin Moran's perky sitcom, based on the sisters' home-schooled childhood in Wolverhampton. The script is smart and tangy but it's the sprightly acting that makes this Channel 4 comedy zing, especially from the always excellent Rebekah Staton as the straight-talking Della (she's claims to have channelled Clint Eastwood for the role), Helen Monks as quick-witted Germaine and Alexa Davies as cerebral Aretha.
