Further details
Kate and Wills are away, so it is up to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to look after Princess Charlotte for the day. But Camilla is better with boys - they just need food and exercise. Meanwhile, a top team from GCHQ are staking out a couple in a pub, but even a spy's son should be able to make his own decisions.
Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch pose for a family photo, Mabel the health nut tries the caveman diet, and a masseuse is juggling her work and her baby, who has woken up from his nap too soon.
Elsewhere, the dance troupe from Top of the Pops are reunited after 40 years, and Dame Judi is receiving the first award at the start of a long award ceremony - what will she do with the rest of her evening?

Press
Although as mixed as you'd expect from a sketch show, Tracey Ullman's return to UK screens for her second series has been better than cynics might have expected. Her character acting makes up for some occasionally off-beam sketches. Tonight, we see her star in the world's worst show 30 Years In A Morgue, her Camilla Parker-Bowles does a spot of babysitting while her uncanny Judi Dench is bored at an awards ceremony.
David Stubbs, The Guardian, 3rd March 2017Preview: Tracey Ullman's Show
It was a bit of a surprise to see Tracey Ullman back on British TV with her own show after so many years in the US and this series has had its moments with some superbly iconoclastic send ups including Dame Maggie Smith, German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
