A maverick filmmaker isn't too happy with the decision to stage the equestrian events in Greenwich Park in tonight's final episode of the amusing sitcom which spoofs the organisation of the 2012 Olympics. Tim McInnerny plays the protesting filmmaker - who voices his concerns by dumping a large pile of horse manure outside the Deliverance team's offices. Meanwhile Ian Fletcher's (Hugh Bonneville) marriage unravels further and he finds himself locked out of his house.

The fourth series of the amusingly crass comedy series comes to an end tonight. As the Solana Resort begins to wind down, chaos still reigns among its holidaymakers. Donald (Kenny Ireland) heads off to a nudist beach, Pauline (Selina Griffiths) drowns her sorrows as she awaits news of her divorce and Jacqueline (Janine Duvitski) is involved in an unusual waterskiing accident. Business as usual then.

This simple, but seemingly effective, comedy/current affairs series is now into its fourth series. Russell Howard is an award-winning comedian who has been on the panel show circuit for years, regularly popping up on Mock the Week and the like. His humour is best described as straightforward - few of his jokes tax the brains of his viewers too much and they're often easy to predict. However, he certainly has his moments and last year Good News's ratings reached 3.5 million viewers, which is huge for a digital channel like BBC Three. Tonight he returns to give his take on the week's news stories.

The educational history series for children offers an insight into Christmas that even adults will enjoy. When William the Conqueror was crowned on Christmas Day in 1066, his soldiers mistook the congregation's cheering for a riot and burned down Westminster Abbey. Indeed, something else viewers may not know: apparently King Henry II's jester's job was solely to break wind on Christmas Day for the monarch's amusement. We can't imagine our current Queen being quite so amused, somehow.
