Suits

Dave

10pm

Suits is back for a fifth season and a lot has changed since the legal drama first hit our screens back in 2011.

Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) is no longer the suave and arrogant city slicker we first met.

Season five finds the lawyer throwing his toys out of the pram as Donna, his longstanding PA, goes to work for his rival Louis (Rick Hoffman).

Meanwhile,  Specter’s former protégé Mike (Patrick J. Adams) is more focused on his recent engagement to Rachel (Meghan Markle).

Very British Problems

Channel 4

To be British means to tread the awkward minefield of social faux pas,  unspoken rules and conversations about the weather.

Over a million people follow Twitter account @SoVeryBritish, which shares awkward Britishisms such as  “Expressing your complete and utter outrage at a situation by calling it "not on."”

Now the feed, which has already spawned two books, is heading to Channel 4, where celebrities including James Corden, Jonathan Ross and Ruth Jones discuss issues unique to us Brits.

In true British style, the writer behind the Twitter feed, Rob Temple, told the RTS last year that he was surprised that TV had come knocking, believing that it would be “short, punchy and funny, hopefully.”
