Charlie Brooker returns for a second series of this wryly amusing panel show, in which he goes through a selection of topical TV clips with three guests, quizzing them on the content and generally being a cynical wit: think Harry Hill's TV Burp meets Have I Got News for You, with minimal emphasis on actual point-scoring. Tonight, Brooker's guests are David Baddiel, Liza Tarbuck and comedian Kevin Bridges.

This strange sketch show - featuring ex-Fast Show actors Paul Whitehouse, Charlie Higson and Simon Day being "interviewed" in a variety of different personas - continues. There is rather a lot of forgettable material with one or two edgily funny gems, such as a vociferous argument between a nationalistic British plasterer called Martin Hole (Whitehouse) and an African traffic warden (Felix Dexter) who wants him to move his van.

Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash's wonderful observational sitcom about a working-class Manchester family who seem never to leave their sitting room is now going the way Only Fools and Horses did, with an eagerly awaited one-off episode each Christmas. Tonight's instalment, for which no preview discs were available, is deliberately unfestive, with Jim (Ricky Tomlinson) and Barbara (Sue Johnston) wondering whether to spend a cash gift from their children on a satellite HD box or their first trip out of the UK. Afterwards, at 10.00pm, the final series of Gavin & Stacey - a sitcom which owes more than a nod to the Royles - begins to wind down, as the Essex crowd go on an eventful trip to the beach.

Having debuted, as Fresh, on the BBC's Switch website last year, this surprisingly funny youth-oriented sitcom about a group of university freshers makes its transition from internet to terrestrial television this afternoon (it's also being shown on BBC Three on Thursday evenings). Episode one introduces us to Danny (Jonathan Bailey), a new student full to the brim with the promise of romantic, social and academic success - and about to be sent reeling by the arrival, via clearing, of his freeloading best friend Shane (Danny Morgan).

Michael McIntyre continues his stand-up roadshow with a stop at the Birmingham Hippodrome. There's the usual fast-paced introduction from McIntyre, followed by sets from a wry Canadian called Tom Stade, a wild-haired Australian called Steve Hughes and an energetic Yorkshireman called Paul Tonkinson. The evening ends with a set by Shappi Khorsandi, a female Iranian stand-up who, she confesses, would rather have been a horse.

Created by two of the stars of cult hit The League of Gentlemen & exhibiting the same kind of dark, left-field humour, this new comedy-thriller is skilfully made but certainly not for the faint-hearted. Its begins with a mystery, as five weird characters - among them a deranged midwife, an embittered clown, and a blind millionaire - each receive a card containing the anonymous message 'I know what you did'. The ensuing narrative involves blood, bad language & Christopher Biggins and is, in its own macabre way, highly entertaining.

Filmed entirely in Mumbai, this refreshingly original new sitcom stars Sanjeev Bhaskar as a British Asian called Kenny who is sent out (or "home", as his boss puts it) to India to help improve the fortunes of a failing call centre.

"I am not a sheep; and there are thousands of people out there who feel exactly the same way!" So, with finely tuned impotence, protests frustrated office worker Reggie Perrin (Martin Clunes) in the second episode of this underwhelming sitcom remake. Perrin's daydreams about a different life get more and more outlandish until, with a fateful kiss, they spill over into the real world.

Here's a turn-up for the books: a new ITV comedy miniseries that is both funnier and more original than its plot description - a woman and a man swapping bodies after being struck by lightning - suggests. Much of the credit for that goes to the leads, Martin Freeman and Rachael Stirling, both of whom play their alter-ego roles with enough aplomb to keep the plot afloat - he as a successful fashion journalist called Veronica trapped inside the body of a lazy conspiracy theorist called Danny; she as the reverse. The focus in this opening episode is more on Stirling's character (female body, male mind) as she attempts to use her new journalistic contacts to find Danny, while simultaneously fending off the advances of her boyfriend Jay (Paterson Joseph).

Stewart Lee's amusing stand-up show, with accompanying (and, unfortunately, less amusing) sketches, continues tonight with a concerted examination of political correctness. Well, concerted in as much as it gives Lee an excuse to wave a child's ballet shoe over the audience and make jokes about the Finsbury Park branch of Weight Watchers.
