FIVE THINGS FOR YOUR WEEK...

STREAMING Ratched Netflix, from Friday

Jack Nicholson may have been the star of 1975 movie classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, but one character difficult to forget – even after all these years – is Nurse Ratched, the authoritarian head nurse whose chilly demeanour left you in no doubt where you stood. Louise Fletcher picked up an Oscar for her performance – and now Sarah Paulson is stepping into her shoes in this prequel, produced by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. Set in 1947, it follows asylum nurse Mildred Ratched as she arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital. She presents herself as a dedicated nurse – but already a growing darkness is smouldering within. Also starring Cynthia Nixon, Judy Davis, Sharon Stone, Amanda Plummer and Vincent D’Onofrio.

Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club

ITV, Saturday, 10pm

If you’re tired of seeing the same dozen or so faces propping up game and chat shows every week, then the good news is a new wave of talent gets their chance to shine in this series. Obviously, with you know what affecting chat shows, one of Blighty’s most seasoned presenters has turned his attention to boosting the profiles of up-and-coming talent. Four acts will perform each night under his watchful eye. While more familiar faces will have the opportunity to try out new material, the series will also offer a stage for new comedians on the cusp of their big break. It’s anybody’s guess whether one or more of these acts will become breakout stars after appearing here, but it should be a lot of fun finding out.

FILM

Kingsman: The Golden Circle Channel 4, 9pm, Saturday

Secret agents Eggsy and Merlin join forces with their US counterparts to bring down a psychotic femme fatale. Thankfully, they are assisted by a veteran hero brought back from the dead. Matthew Vaughn’s follow up to the first Kingsman adventure begins with a frantic chase, and doesn’t let up for most of the movie. Taron Egerton is once more superb as Eggsy, and Mark Strong is on top form as Merlin. While Colin Firth’s return as the befuddled Harry cheapens the impact of the first movie’s twist, it matters little. After all, this is a film which features Elton John as himself, along with robot dogs, so credibility is stretched to breaking point throughout. Julianne Moore has a ball as the head psycho, while Jeff Bridges, Halle Berry and Channing Tatum also star.
