Humans Channel 4, 9pm
You’ve probably seen the trailers – including that deliciously creepy mockadvert for your very own robot housekeeper, Sally – but now the eight-part drama has finally arrived. Humans is set in a parallel present, where the musthave gadget is a “Synth”, a lifelike android that can carry out all manner of domestic tasks. Joe Hawkins (Tom GoodmanHill) thinks acquiring one will take some of the pressure off his marriage, but his wife Laura (Katherine Parkinson) isn’t quite so comfortable with having Anita (Gemma Chan) in her home.
