An affectionate tribute to a man described as 'one of those actors who worked all the time but never became a big star', whose knack of stealing the show playing detached authority figures made him the perfect choice for Sergeant Wilson in Dad's Army. Family, friends and Dad's Army cohorts Clive Dunn and Ian Lavender recall not only Le Mesurier's charm but also his remarkable relationships with Hattie Jacques (who left him for a younger man) and actress Joan Malin, who cheated on him with best friend Tony Hancock.

Homeland's Damian Lewis takes to the host chair of this long-running panel show once again - but don't expect Paul Merton nor Ian Hislop to be any kinder to him now that's he's starring in one of the hottest shows on TV. Meanwhile Glasgow comic Susan Calman will be seeking to prove her quick-fire mettle among the guests.

The quartet do head out tonight, into the great outdoors, on a camping trip that quickly descends into the usual silly farce that you'll enjoy against your better judgement. Don't miss dopey Daisy (Katy Wix) showing Tim Vine what she's made of.

Jimmy Carr is truly a workaholic: not only is he currently touring his latest stand-up show, he's also popping up on Alan Carr's Chatty Man at 10pm and is back hosting another round of the noisy panel show that makes fun of polls, surveys and stats.

Bobby Ball returns tonight to stir up more trouble as Lee's dad. This time he's in a wheelchair, covered head to toe with plaster, and in possession of some pain relief that can only be administered where the sun don't shine. That's the source of some obvious gags, but Lee Mack and Tim Vine play out the farce with their usual, splendid verve.

In case you hadn't noticed, we've dipped under 100 days to go to the Olympics - so here's hoping this thoroughly amusing satire set in the office of the Olympics Deliverance Team isn't too close to the truth. Once again Jessica Hynes's horrifyingly stupid PR woman Siobhan Sharpe steals the show: in this final episode her efforts to look cool in front of a rapper has echoes of Ab Fab's Eddie, but the highlight is when she's flummoxed by guest star Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On), who turns about to be a hilariously forthright adviser for Sharpe's Olympics village sexual health campaign.

Simon Amstell's brilliant, excruciating, quasi-autobiographical sitcom returns in fine fettle with our vulnerable hero being offered an acting job - and mum Tanya (Rebecca Front) responding with a shrill: 'You're not a failed nuffin' nobody any more - you're like a real-life Paula Abdul.' There's plenty of annoyances to offset the good news though: notably the permanently grumpy Auntie Liz (a fab Sam Spiro), Tanya's ex-lover, Clive, and Amstell's one-night stand, who forms the basis of some priceless scenes.

Dara O'Briain is actually a dab hand at maths: he has a degree in it (and theoretical physics) from University College Dublin. And he wastes no time in showing off his flair in this new series, which sees numbers genius Marcus du Sautoy set him and another guest comic problems that can be solved by the tricky, seemingly pointless bits of maths we never bothered to learn properly in school. Tonight it's all about 'positioning', which takes in 3D planes and angles, with O'Briain's fellow Irishman David O'Doherty playing the guest doofus. Heart-cheering TV with brains.
