One-off film inspired by the teenage years of Premier Inn doyen Lenny Henry who - in a meta twist - plays the father of main protagonist Danny Fearon. In 1970s Dudley, the would-be impressionist persuades his strict Jamaican parents to let him pursue a showbiz career, but a family secret and a greedy manager mean that Danny's 15 minutes could soon be over. Warm and poignant with comic touches, this feature-length drama showcases the talents of a multi-racial cast headed up by newcomer Kascion Franklin.

There are lots of great things about this boisterous new comedy based around a failing fried chicken shop. For one, manager Mary (Katy Wix) spends most of this opening episode doing an impression of a fictitious Spaniard named Carlos, complete with 70s specs and tache. Mandeep Dhillon, Matthew Cottle and co are also on fine form as her colleagues, battling against inebriated customers at "drunk o'clock". Some gags are a little by-the-numbers but this series still looks to be more sizzling than half-baked.

Have you been watching The Javone Prince Show?

This new comedy sketch show offers parodies, cringe-inducing moments about matters of race in middle England - and the opportunity to dance to Cameo.

The first episode in the second series for the hit, west London-based mockumentary following pirate radio proprietors and all-round incompetents MC Grindah and DJ Beats (Allan Mustafa and Hugo Chegwin). Idiocy ensues as Grindah prepares for daughter Angel's "christianing", enlisting the help of jack-of-all-trades Chabuddy G and the drug-addled Steves. Meanwhile, Beats is on a mission to prove that he would make the ideal godfather. Fresh, farcical comedy with a soft spot for suburban loserdom.

The second series of Greg Davies's crude, clever comedy continues to deliver, despite the hole left by Rik Mayall. This week, Davies's world-worn protagonist Dan is horrified to discover that his former school bully has the lead role in a play that he is attending with his students. Cue group therapy and a lesson in resilience from Aunt Nesta (Stephanie Cole). As per, disaster-prone pals Jo (Roisin Conaty) and Brian (Mike Wozniak) get into a variety of scrapes, too.

Episode four of the homicide-themed comedy with an improv edge. Each week, DI Sleet (Tom Davis) investigates crimes perpetrated by phony celebrities, with the help of a real-life famous face. This week it's Dermot O'Leary, who must decide who was responsible for the death of "Amanda Holden" and the kidnap of "Mayor Simon Cowell": care home proprietor "Miley Cyrus", sweet shop magnate "Alan Sugar" or "Jessie J", apparently a martial arts champ. Complete and utter nonsense, cleverly done.

New kids' series following three socially awkward Year 8 girls as they navigate the trials and tribulations of teenage life. Lily (Cleo Demetriou), Martha (Sophia Dall'Aglio) and Jas (Ameerah Falzon-Ojo) prefer chess club and documentaries to parties and netball practice. They're not eager to please, however, and prefer to stick together rather than fighting to fit in. This opener sees them deal with embarrassing parents, while in episode two - after Blue Peter - they're keen to look their best for non-uniform day.

If you think that endless analysis, swingometers and flashy graphics of Churchill and Thatcher superimposed on to Westminster are so 2010, this night of sideways election coverage might be for you. Jeremy Paxman and David Mitchell host, with guests including Kayvan Novak and Richard Osman joining the pair, plus themed editions of The Last Leg and Gogglebox during the evening. Lest the election itself be forgotten, Gary Gibbon and Cathy Newman will relay the results throughout the night.

Series one of Caitlin and Caz Moran's loosely autobiographical sitcom about the unorthodox Garry brood bows out. Desperate to corner newly single Lee, Germaine (Helen Monks) enlists her sisters - misanthropic Aretha (Alexa Davies) and meek Yoko (Molly Risker) - for a night out at an infamous Wolverhampton club. Cue fake incest, silly scheming and a boy-themed revelation for Germaine. Elsewhere, mum Della (Rebekah Staton) has an unconventional date with the suitor she met at Uncle Natie's barbecue.

With 12 series already under its belt, you most likely know the drill when it comes to Keith Lemon's puerile panel show, packed with racy games and jibes at everyone from Katie Hopkins to Kim Kardashian. This new run sees Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby return as team captains, alongside guests including Jimmy Carr and former fill-in captain Gino D'Acampo. Here's hoping that the phonic charades of "Don't Show Keith Your Teeth" and toilet-based Chinese whispers "Shouting One Out" are slated for a reappearance.
