Sitcom Does...

It's a new four-part series from UKTV Gold which looks at the ingredients of sitcom. There's the usual classic clips, but the USP making it worth a watch is that this series also reunites cast from old sitcoms, and goes behind-the-scenes on current shows. The opening episode, presented by Hugh Dennis, looks at family - there's a big chunk about his current hit Outnumbered, including a look around the house they film in. GOLD, 10pm. Guide

Also today: Mongrels; Buzzcocks; and Threesome. Plus Radio 4 favourite I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue returns. Schedule
