Rufus “W1A” Jones writes and stars in a new comedy that is not necessarily the funniest show on TV tonight (that would be Derry Girls) but does stand as a reminder that asylum seekers are human beings who are genuinely in need of help. It tracks what happens when leave-voting bigot Peter Guest (Jones) and his family return from a holiday to find their luggage has been replaced by Syrian English teacher Sami, who has jumped into the boot. Try as he might, Guest can’t dislike Sami, and soon the family’s lives are changed for ever … Mike Bradley
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer

You have to hand it to C4’s celeb bookers: seven years into these charity specials and the lineup is still as tempting as a tray of Teri Hatcher’s savoury muffins. This week, Russell Brand is in the tent, with Big Narstie, Jeremy Paxman and MP Jess Phillips all still to come. Ellen E Jones

David Lynch: The Art Life
9pm, Sky Arts
Before Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks, David Lynch was a painter who was preoccupied with the dark underbelly of the US. This fine doc traces his early years, from picket-fence upbringing to a studio in a Philadelphia slum, and the realisation that film would be the best medium for his nightmarish creations. Gwilym Mumford
Derry Girls
9.15pm, Channel 4
Lisa McGee’s rumbustious rabble return for a second series set against the backdrop of the Troubles. You expect chaos when you hear the words “Outdoor pursuits weekend” and not even Sister Michael can put a stop to the high jinks when the Catholic girls are billeted with a bunch of Protestant boys. Mike Bradley
London: 2,000 Years of History
