This good-natured new comedy, the UK's first ever Muslim sitcom, is set in the capital of British Pakistan, Sparkhill in Birmingham. It follows self-appointed community leader Mr Khan - played and created by Adil Ray, the character has already appeared on Radio 4's Down the Line and its TV incarnation Bellamy's People. First up, one of Mr Khan's feisty daughters is about to get married and his wife's on the warpath because he has forgotten to book a venue. Can he call in a favour from mosque manager Dave (Kris Marshall)?

An appearance by the much-loved plasticine pair is always a pleasure. Here, hapless inventor Wallace and his long-suffering dog Gromit make their Proms debut. In between the Aurora Orchestra, violinist Tasmin Little and conductor Nicholas Collon performing popular family classics, specially filmed animations show Wallace and Gromit backstage, preparing for the first performance of Wallace's brand new work, "My Concerto In Ee Lad".

Comedy fans, prepare to be excited. This new pilot has impeccable pedigree, being written by Peep Show's Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong and starring three of our funniest actresses: Olivia Colman (Rev.), Julia Davis (Nighty Night) and Sharon Horgan (Pulling). It's a soapy spoof melodrama - think Dallas done by French and Saunders - about a rich, dysfunctional mining dynasty. Cue face-slapping, bitching and deliberately clumsy exposition.

This cockle-warming film follows 90-year-old Jack Woodward, who dreams of reviving his comedy career for one last gig at the Hammersmith Apollo. Woodward performed to troops during the Second World War and was a BBC warm-up man in the Sixties. He's now a Chelsea pensioner who hasn't been on stage for half a century and his jokes are, to put it kindly, showing signs of age. Can he update them, then remember the new material? Most importantly, can this frail gent make an audience of 3,000 youngsters laugh?

Twenty Twelve, BBC Two, review

This was a typically subtle finale to what's been a perfectly played and painfully close-to-home satire. It's been funny because it's true.

With a certain sporting event looming, it's the last ever episode of this marvellous mockumentary. As the Olympic Deliverance Team prepare to hand over to the Live Team, last-minute panics still need resolving. The fireworks planned by Danny Boyle for the opening ceremony will trigger the Army's ground-to-air missiles. Charging stations for the official Olympic electric cars work so slowly, the entire fleet will soon be stationary. And the special "Big Bong" peal of church bells, supposed to ring nationwide, has so far attracted only two entries. Cue BlackBerry-addicted "branding guru" Siobhan (Jessica Hynes) salvaging the crisis by roping in a celebrity. Will she land Sting or settle for Aled Jones?

Just to add tension, three colleagues have applied for the same post-Games job, with the shortlist about to be announced. Come handover day, Lord Coe isn't around to make his planned speech, having been "called away to argue with animal rights groups about a sheep", so Ian (Hugh Bonneville) steps in. Can he make it a rousing send-off? And will his excruciating but rather moving romantic tension with PA Sally (Olivia Colman) be resolved? Smart, superbly played and painfully close-to-the-bone.

Absolutely Fabulous: A unholy mess

This unholy mess was all agonising enough anyway, but seriously suffers in comparison with another Olympic-themed BBC comedy, Twenty Twelve, which airs 24 hours later. That show is prescient, subtle and satirical. This one used a sledgehammer yet still kept missing its target.

Ab Fab's best Olympic jokes

Tonight's new episode of Absolutely Fabulous has an Olympic theme - we preview some of the funniest moments.

Just when you thought no more Olympics-themed programming could be squeezed into the schedules, the "sweedie darling" sitcom returns to give its own raucous spin on events. Edina Monsoon (Jennifer Saunders) feels past her sell-by date (rather like this show, cynics might suggest). Party invitations are no longer plopping onto her designer doormat and she can't even get into her favourite fashion stores anymore. Age has also caught up with best friend Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley), the former glamour puss is reduced to wearing incontinence pads and cripplingly tight control underwear. For the duration of the Games, Eddy has rented out her house to a Hollywood A-lister and London 2012 is passing the pair by, until daughter Saffy (Julia Sawalha) returns home and exhorts them to embrace the Olympic spirit. Cue celebrity cameos from Dame Kelly Holmes, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson and Stella McCartney, plus a sequence filmed inside the Olympic Stadium. This is the last of three 20th anniversary specials, the first two of which were shown over Christmas. It delivers the odd laugh but feels distinctly dated and should probably be laid to rest - at least until next year's mooted movie spin-off.

The sitcom about "boomerang children" - adults who move back in with their parents - continues. When Jenny (Sally Phillips) stumbles across an old diary from her school days, feelings of resentment towards her mother Alma (Susie Blake) resurface. In a fit of 25-year-late teenage rebellion, she smokes a fossilised cigarette she finds inside the diary. Elsewhere, there are suspicions of an extra-marital affair.
