Better Things
comedy / 10pm / BBC2
episode two of this ‘funny because it’s true’ us sitcom sees Sam, a jobbing actor and unmellow lone mum to three girls, at the gynaecologist’s. She hopes to hear she’s hitting the menopause… Meanwhile, at home, Sam’s 16-year-old seems to have discovered sex and drugs, and Sam’s batty mum (Celia Imrie, making no attempt to change her accent, thankfully) is focused more on vodka than the woes of her daughter.
