It's gentle, it's cosy, it's very British, and above all, it's a sketch show that's funny. Hurrah for Armstrong and Miller!

Channel 4 embarks on another exercise in looking for a new comedy series by commissioning a series of pilots, starting with Campus, from the team that brought you Green Wing. There will be some comparison to the much-missed Green Wing, and that would be fair. But there is a lot here that gives cause to think this is a shoe-in for series treatment.

Does the world really need a new impressions show? Probably not, but this new vehicle for Jon Culshaw, along with Corrie refugee Debra Stephenson isn't too bad on the whole. Katy Brand and Kevin Bishop could learn a thing or two from this.

More lovely gentle and very British comedy from Armstrong and Miller, building on the strong start last week. There are some great new characters here, with accident-prone historian Dennis Lincoln-Park being a real gem. Good show, good comedy.

As Peep Show comes to an end, so the other gem of the British comedy landscape returns for a very welcome news series. Yes, The Thick of It is back, and so is the sublime and sweary Malcolm Tucker played with relish by Peter Capaldi. There's a new minister for social affairs and citizenship (Rebecca Front) for Malcolm to deal with, and no doubt Olly, Glenn and Terri will conspire to make Malcolm's life one giant migraine. It's as creatively foul-mouthed as ever, and one can't help feel you are watching true genius at work here.

It's Friday, it's 10pm, it's Peep Show. Another effortless visit to the blackly comic lives of Mark and Jez, who this week are planning a party - mainly so Mark can get it on with Dobby again. There are so many effortless one-liners in any episode of Peep Show, it's practically obscene.

If you watch only one thing on television all weekend, make it TV Burp. You know the drill by now - it's wacky, it's fun, and it's for all the family. What would we do without you, Mr Hill?

It's series six, but Peep Show remains as fresh and wonderful as ever. It's one of those rare shows where writing and casting work together in tuneful harmony and the results are never then less than superb.

Saints be praised, Harry's back! The best show ITV has in its arsenal returns to poke fun at this mad world we call telly, and is guaranteed to bring smiles, a giggle and belly laughs aplenty. Hill has a unique view of the world, and you never quite know where he's going to go with things. Expect a few comedy grenades lobbed in the direction of Strictly and The X Factor along the way. Harry, we've missed you!

Benidorm returns for a third series of broad comedy shenanigans around the pool. It's an acquired taste and lacks anything approaching subtlety, but there is enjoyment to be had here if you look hard enough.
