BBC Three

Few TV shows are held responsible for blowing apart the genre they belong to, but that was the legacy of The Young Ones. The incendiary BBC Two sitcom redefined the parameters of comedy by making an embarrassment out of elements of the genteel English suburban sitcom, exemplified by The Good Life and Ever Decreasing Circles.

From now on, thanks to The Young Ones, sitcom could sit squarely at the heart of youth culture, while those tuxedoed comics who had built their routines on jokes about mothers-in-law found themselves beyond the pale.

Rap icons Krept & Konan and DJ Target are once again on the hunt for the next big MC to win a £20k cash prize and boost their music career.

For the first time, the series will be filmed in Manchester as the MCs battle it out in various challenges to prove they can make a splash in the industry. 

Hosted by Northern Irish drag queen Blu Hydrangea, who competed in the first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, the series will follow two contributors each week competing to create a different outfit inspired by iconic designs from the worlds of fashion, film, television and cosplay.

Head of Commissioning, Popular Factual and Entertainment, Catherine Catton, commented: "The new commissions I’m announcing today demonstrate the strength of the department, with three new series that celebrate and engage with contemporary British life in a timely and relevant way.

"Factual entertainment at the BBC is all about bringing viewers joy and pleasure, and I hope that these new shows continue to do just that.”

Monday

E4, 10pm

Rick and Morty returns for another series of multiversal escapades.

Creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland have confirmed there will be more continuity this series, and that series four’s Space Beth is set to play a major part.

Each episode of the six-part series will see Mist go behind the wheel and head to head against a celebrity in a driving challenge.

Drift Queen Becky Evans and pro-BMXer Ryan Taylor will support the competitors, while specialists from the scene will mentor and judge.

Mist said: "Cars and driving are a passion of mine and it's a privilege to be working with the BBC on Gassed Up.

DJ Target and Krept and Konan will return to mentor the rapping talent as they search for the next biggest player in the game.

High-profile rappers such as Ms Banks, Wretch 32, Aitch and AJ Tracey have helped mentor in previous series, and the BBC has promised names just as big for the third.

The programme was filmed across new locations in Manchester.

There is also a new £20,000 cash prize up for grabs along with a mentor scheme to aid the winning artist create and launch new music after the competition.

The series will see nine of Britain’s up-and-coming creatives showcase their own streetwear brand in the competition. 

The competition blends together fashion, music, sport, celebrity and business, all taking place in the heart of Manchester and culminating in a life-changing prize. 

Grammy Award-winning artist Miguel is the head judge and will be joined by Marc Jacques Burton, an entrepreneur and high-end designer with his own luxury British label MJB, which has dressed the like of Zayn Malik, Tom Hardy and Gigi Hadid. 

The six-part weekly show will celebrate Black British music artists as they take over the globe. Showcasing the best new acts with live performances, as well as appearances from some of the biggest names in the industry, Tonight With Target will offer an immersive and innovative viewing experience.
