NEW COMEDY

Here We Go Friday, 8.30pm, BBC1 (box set, BBC iPlayer)

Back in 2020, viewers were introduced to the Jessop family in a pilot comedy that followed hapless Paul (Jim Howick) and longsuffering wife Rachel (Katherine Parkinson) as they navigated lockdown life with their two teenage children, Sam and Amy.

Now, they’re back for a new six-part series that sees the family dealing with everyday challenges including missing pets, career changes and attempts to keep the romance alive within a marriage.
