This spoof documentary from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, starring 3ft 6in actor Warwick Davis as a fictionalised, David Brentified version of himself, contains all their tricks: bemused expressions; awkward looks to camera. But it takes no prisoners and is very funny. Davis displays fine comic chops as he hustles for acting work, mismanages his finances and grapples with his failing marriage, plus there's a cracking scene with Liam Neeson failing to grasp the basic concepts of comedy.

Forget the other guests, Lee Mack and David Mitchell are such sharply funny antagonists that they should have a show all to themselves. Still, Dara O'Briain should prove good value as he parachutes in from Mock The Week tonight, while keeping the Amusing Golden Oldie seat warm is the legendary Barry Cryer.

Darren Boyd was super as John Cleese in Holy Flying Circus on Wednesday but he makes less of an impact here as the single dad accidentally recruited by MI5. Today is his first day in the office, but his training mission - retrieve a red bag from some scaffolding - is scuppered by an unexpected source. This is more worth catching for Rebekah 'Pulling' Staton's ambitious secret agent, Caitlin, who is becoming something of a show-stealer.

This lightweight slacker comedy seems a world away from quality thriller The Shadow Line, in which Rafe Spall proved his acting chops as a psychopath. Still, it's a worthwhile watch and for the opening episode of this second series we have Spall's struggling sports journalist, Pete, crash from one ludicrous scenario to another as he tries to impress a Polish cleaner, while commentators Colin and Terry provide accompanying analysis and stats.

Alice, boyfriend Mitch and gay best friend Richie are such a tight-knit group, they (naturally) wind up in bed together. The result is an unplanned pregnancy, prompting the trio to arrive at a big decision: they'll raise the impending baby together and ditch their party lifestyle. So far, so completely unreal - and the 'comedy' here is gentler than a Johnson's baby wipe.

Good to see some of The Comic Strip gang (Jennifer Saunders, Rik Mayall, Nigel Planer) return after a six-year break. They're joined by Stephen Mangan and Inbetweener James Buckley for a cunningly conceived film noir romp featuring Tony Blair as a murderer on the run. Mangan is well-cast as Blair, constantly trying to justify his actions (he's an innocent man, really), while Buckley teams up with Robbie Coltrane's Inspector Hutton in a bid to chase him down.

Darren Boyd, who can do hapless chump in his sleep, stars in this promising comedy espionage caper. Boyd is Tim, a going-nowhere kind of guy saddled with a precocious son, who finds himself fast-tracked into the secret service when his office job application falls into the hands of spooky spymaster Robert Lindsay. Think James Bond rewritten as Uh-Oh7.

Lee Mack and David Mitchell's quick-witted cross examinations are by far the best bits of this show, and tonight they get to bounce off Terry Wogan, who claims, among other things, that he likes to fire a loaded pistol every Christmas. The broadcasting legend also gives Rob Brydon an excuse to roll out his impression.

After last week's entertaining offering from Inbetweeners boys Simon Bird and Joe Thomas, we have this less successful pilot written by Jam And Jerusalem co-writer Abigail Wilson. Three school friends - a breastfeeding mum, a bohemian type and a down-on-her-luck TV presenter - meet on a monthly basis to see fourth friend Lucy, who is in a coma. It's more upbeat than it sounds and, as Lucy becomes more aware of her surroundings, we get whimsical glimpses into her subconscious. But the performances are way better than the pedestrian script deserves.

The contracts are coming at Chris Addison thick and fast these days: Skins; those ubiquitous Direct Line ads; then later this month he's presenting Show & Tell, a new E4 stand-up show in which up-and-coming comics do a short routine on a random object. In addition, to all that comes this six-week stint on Mock The Week - a show he is no stranger to, and which has badly needed a new permanent member since Frankie Boyle and Russell Howard left for pastures new.
