Matt Lucas

Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer are back with their rather tired celebrity gameshow. Still, there are some enjoyably silly "true or false?" questions and the score-keeper, Angelos Epithemiou's dishevelled dimwit, is a funny replacement for Matt Lucas's "George Dawes". Guests tonight are pop star Example, Hairy Biker Si King, former Strictly dancer Camilla Dallerup and EastEnders actress Linda Henry.

Anyone who remembers the joyously strange experience of watching Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's quiz show when it first appeared in the early 1990s can forgive it almost anything. And they've needed to: it grew tired and staggered on past its natural life span. Then BBC2 revived it for a Christmas special in 2008 and what should have been a museum piece worked better than expected. Now George Dawes, the "big baby" drummer/scorer created by Matt Lucas has gone, to be replaced by shambling burger van owner Angelos Epithemiou (the excellent Renton Skinner). But the blend of surreal sight gags - at one stage a pair of disembodied legs walks across the set unremarked - and daft questions remains the same. Highlights tonight include panellist Jack Dee (with "a face like a scalded sea cadet", according to Vic) having to play a toy drum every time he wants to speak and a brilliant parody of Kerry Katona's TV ads for Iceland. Look out for the sticky potato pistols.

PG Wodehouse's rollicking Summer Lightning arrived with a cast to die for, including Matt Lucas' turn as a portentous PI and Charles Dance as a wayward aristo, mouth stuffed as full of cake as his lordship's prize-winning pigs.

Lord Emsworth (Martin Jarvis) is getting Empress of Blandings, his prize pig, ready for the Shropshire Agricultural Show. He's worried about possible nobbling by rival breeder Sir Gregory Parsloe (Michael Jayston). Meanwhile scandal looms if Emsworth's brother Galahad (Charles Dance) publishes his memoirs so Parsloe hires private detective Percy Pilbeam (Matt Lucas) to nick the manuscript. And love, as ever in a PG Wodehouse comedy, is making life very complicated for the younger set. Dramatised in two star-studded episodes by Archie Scottney, made by glamorous independents Jarvis and Ayres Productions.
