If you've been feeling somewhat bereft since the demise of Green Wing, then fret no more.

Campus (Channel 4, 10pm) shares many of the same writers and, following the successful broadcast of a pilot edition last year, has already been described as the natural successor to the hospital-set sitcom's crown as the most surreal comedy on telly.

Campus, however, is set in the hapless surroundings of Kirke University, a mediocre establishment whose vice-chancellor, Jonty de Wolfe, is determined to improve its reputation.

He'll stop at nothing, from faking the names of former alumni to launching a range of perfumes known as Eau de Kirke - and seeing as the place is a crumbling concrete monstrosity, goodness only knows what that smells like!

But Jonty is no ogre; he only has the university's best interests at heart - if only his staff did too...
