The fun continues with Back on Channel 4, while two disparate documentaries focus on Pairc Uí Chaoimh and drug company shenanigans

Pick of the Day

Back, 10.00pm, Channel 4

It's no Peep Show but this new comedy starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb is really good fun, with Webb impressive as someone who you'd really like to punch in the face, while Mitchell makes a marvellous figure of pity.

This week, pub co-owners Stephen (Mitchell) and Andrew (Webb) are on a road trip to visit the pub's suppliers and spread the news of father Laurie's death.

Andrew tries to help Stephen along the way with getting over his ex-wife, clarifying a memory from their childhood and making shocking revelations that Stephen's parents' marriage wasn't all that it appeared to be.

While Ray attempts to resolve the Mickey Donovan/Avi situation, Terry is drunkenly going to confession in New York City. He has a secret about Abby's death.
