Stephen Mangan can do no wrong with his hilarious adaptation of Lisa Kudrow's US comedy Web Therapy. Tonight, put-upon therapist Richard Pitt's mother tries to move in, loan shark Neil rants about his grim past and Kevin Eldon joins the cast as a mean lottery winner. No wonder Pitt feels "like a cock in a blender".

TV reviews: Hang Ups

In TV world, the only profession more troubled than a police detective is a therapist. From the outset, Hang Ups was a tense, nervous headache of a sitcom, a visible pulse in its temple, muscles a neurotic knot.

If the jokes are just the right side of inappropriate, so is the form.
