PICK OF THE DAY

KATE & KOJI 9PM, ITV

★★★★

People have talked about the death of the traditional sitcom for years, but good writing is good writing – and that’s what makes this returning show work. It’s full of sharp little chats between people at the cafe run by Kate (Brenda Blethyn), who is full of random prejudices.

In series two, he’s played by Okorie Chukwu (right, with Blethyn), after Jimmy Akingbola left for Fresh Prince reboot Bel-air (Sky/ Now). The shift is seamless.

THIS IS MY HOUSE FOR RED NOSE DAY 8PM, BBC1 ★★★★

A celebrity special of this hilariously bizarre show, in which four people pretend to own a house and a panel must deduce who’s telling the truth. The potential pretenders are Ricky Hatton, Claire Richards, Deborah Meaden and Rob Rinder, and the panel includes Chris Eubank and Harry Hill.

INTERIOR DESIGN MASTERS WITH ALAN CARR 9PM, BBC1 ★★★

COUNCIL HOUSE SWAP 9PM, CH5 ★★★

Council tenants swap homes in this inventive new take on property shows. The first two in need of a move are mum-offour Beth in Surrey, who has a lot of space – three double bedrooms – and mum-of-three Charlie in Hertfordshire, who is in great need of space. It feels like a good fit, but they can only switch if both agree…
