ITV did some strange things last year, but surely none stranger than broadcasting a tacky soap opera called Echo Beach, immediately preceeded each week by a sitcom, Moving Wallpaper, about a gaggle of television producers making a tacky soap opera called Echo Beach. This year, Moving Wallpaper is back; Echo Beach is not. As Moving Wallpaper's lead character Jonathan Pope (Ben Miller) puts it, "We've been cancelled. Echo Beach is no more. The network executive said it was ---- and no one watched it." Which is, it's fair to say, what happened in reality too. Woo, post-modern. Anyway, the task for Pope and his production team now is to dream up a new programme to make; Pope begins the process by bullying a scriptwriter, unwittingly causes his death, then steals his idea. As a satire about television's dearth of originality and integrity, Moving Wallpaper would work better if it weren't itself an inferior version of somebody else's good idea: it's essentially a market-stall knock-off of I'm Alan Partridge.

After 15 years of touring the country as the majestically belligerent Pub Landlord, Al Murray serves up some new characters in this boisterous sketch show. Parts of it may be too crude for some tastes (in particular the man cheerfully obsessed with his daughter's sex life), but there are some winning ideas, such as "The PC PCs", a group of police officers who divide their time between clambering up mountains of paperwork and being tweely polite to criminals. Look out as well for the atypically honest footballer ("I love this club. There's no way I'd ever leave. But if I don't get exactly what I want, I'm ----ing off").
