Photograph: 5 Broadcasting Limited\/Frank Films<\/p>\n This attempt to approximate the magic of Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing returns. It is rather lovely in its own right, even if the actors Sam\u00a0West and Ade Edmondson lack Bob and Paul\u2019s comic chemistry. They begin in the Yorkshire Dales, where Sam drags Ade out of bed at 3am for\u00a0the dawn chorus.

Whom will Michael Sheen<\/a> pretend to be in his latest role? How long before James Blunt gets his guitar out? Will Prof Hannah Fry prove to be too clever? And how well do Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan really know each other? Welcome to the TV event of the year! Last year\u2019s inaugural starry series provided dozens of sublime small-screen moments and made the show the hottest celebrity booking in the business. Can this year\u2019s maintain the\u00a0standard<\/a>? Phil Harrison<\/p>\n
A comedy built around the housing crisis was only a matter of time. This series follows Lil and Ben as their move to London goes pear\u2011shaped. In the time it takes Ben to confess to a drunken one-night stand, the couple go from conversations about what colour bedding they\u2019d prefer to labelled sections in the fridge. Unfortunately, they\u2019ve signed a six-month tenancy, so they\u2019re stuck. It\u2019s amusing rather than uproarious, but Lara Ricote<\/a> and Samuel Bottomley are sweetly bewildered leads.

Two more tearjerking searches are shepherded by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell. First comes Anita, who found a photo of a baby in her mother\u2019s wardrobe and is finally searching for the brother who was given up for adoption. Then, Ruth traces her late sister\u2019s son, who was taken into care. Hannah Verdier<\/p>\n
This customarily spicy mixture of comics is dominated by Richard Ayoade and his disdain for the whole enterprise. However, Chloe Petts also causes problems for Alex this week by hiding something in a very awkward place indeed. Somehow, Taskmaster\u2019s formula is sturdy enough to\u00a0accommodate everyone it encounters. PH<\/p>\n
Siegfried works the veterinary practice flat out as he tries to \u201cseize the advantage\u201d from his rival Granville Bennett, while James\u2019s devotion to work leaves Dorothy feeling neglected. It\u2019s time to make\u00a0amends: \u201cDorothy\u00a0\u2026 would you consider making\u00a0things between us more permanent?\u201d Ali Catterall<\/p>\n
