Not Going Out, the longest running sitcom in Britain still on air, is set to make a comeback for its 14th series. Lee Mack (8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown) stars in and co-writes the show, which he also created. It follows a fictional version of the comedian as he bumbles, lazily, through marriage and parenthood, armed solely with his wits.

Grime Kids: music to our ears

Shanu Hazzan and Tienne Simon as Kai and Bishop in Grime Kids are on stage rapping into microphones

From episode 1’s opening sequence, Grime Kids aims to smash stereotypes. In a heart-thumping black-and-white scene, violence looks inevitable as audiences are dragged into the world of gritty gangland drama.

It’s a powerful introduction to the Technicolour, ­joyous world of Theresa Ikoko’s Grime Kids.
