COMEDY
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.

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.
