WINNER Jake Coates with Dame Joan Collins and Amanda Holden BBC2, 10pm

When this ran as a pilot last year, we hoped the BBC would give us a whole series – and lo, here it is.

Anyone who has encountere­d playground politics, hellish school runs and annoying, fairy cake-baking perfect mums will certainly relate.

Revealing the hidden face of motherhood (not the romantic version everyone posts on Facebook), it’s laugh-out-loud funny.

Anna Maxwell Martin is Julia, who is constantly on the verge of disaster as she juggles work and kids. In this episode, she reluctantl­y invites the entire class to her daughter Ivy’s birthday party – but her Minion cake looks like an angry sweetcorn, Animal Man is racist and poor Ivy starts vomiting.
