Motherland
10pm, BBC Two
Middle-class mums are in the not-so-flattering spotlight for a second season of Sharon Horgan, Holly Walsh and Helen Linehan’s comedy on parenthood at the school gates. As term starts up, there is fresh blood in the form of high-flying mum of four Meg (straight-talking Tanya Moodie); she has conspicuously moved in opposite Julia (Anna Maxwell Martin), who continues to juggle a hectic career with the efforts of keeping up with the other parents. A gleeful takedown of competitive parenting culture. Ammar Kalia

Following four would-be jihadis as they prepare for martyrdom in a northern city, Chris Morris’s 2010 portrait of dysfunctional masculinity, inveigled into terrorism, makes serious observations about religion and society while trading in slapstick humour.
