A second series of Mawaan Rizwan’s zany comedy based on his Edinburgh fringe show from 2018 opens with the first two episodes back to back (the second is at 9.25pm). Jamma (Rizwan) is still jobless and sleeping on his mate Winnie’s sofa. He is also not over his therapist ex-boyfriend Guy (Russell Tovey) – so decides to ask him to a party. Can a stranger bring them back together? Cue some surreal storytelling involving said (stained) sofa. Hollie Richardson
The Dog House

Canine camaraderie is an admirable species trait, whether it’s inseparable chihuahuas Rio, Prince and Blue Boy, or the rambunctious tag team of George and Daisy. Still, rehoming a number of dogs at once presents a challenge, even for the experienced team at Woodgreen Pets Charity. Is there a garden in all of England that’s big enough? Ellen E Jones

It’s amazing how this comedy series manages to assemble lineups that continue to be exciting after all these years. But with Reece Shearsmith, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Maisie Adam appearing this time, they’ve done it again. We’re promised an episode of “arresting images” this week, including Shearsmith’s hand emerging from a bag. Intriguing. Alexi Duggins
