Pick of the Day
This Time with Alan Partridge, 9.30pm, BBC Two
Fresh from his exploits as Stan Laurel in the Stan & Ollie biopic, Steve Coogan returns once more as the inept broadcaster with an inflated ego.
Alan is handed a career lifeline - the chance to stand in temporarily as co-host on This Time, a weekday magazine show on BBC One. But can he capitalise on the opportunity?
Due to the sudden illness of its regular host, it's a chance for the indefatigable Partridge to flit effortlessly between seal pups, hand washing and cyber-terrorism.
As if that's ever going to happen . . .

Warren, 9.00pm, BBC One
Martin Clunes stars as Warren Thompson, a man who, through family circumstances, is obliged in his mid-50s to move from the south of England up to Preston when his partner Anne’s father falls ill.
Warren’s living in an area he doesn’t like, doing a job he’s not emotionally cut out for, and looking after two teenage stepsons, Charlie and Danny, that he never wanted.
Never blessed with any sort of patience or a paternal instinct, Warren just wants an easy life. But thanks to his naturally difficult personality, Warren is constantly finding himself in sticky situations.
