17:45 – Only When I Laugh – S04E06 – When Did You Last See Your Father? – A sitcom made by Yorkshire Television for ITV, written by Eric Chappell (Rising Damp, Home to Roost). It stars Christopher Strauli as Norman, a rather naive middle-class man who is admitted to a hospital ward and finds that he is sharing it with a working-class layabout called Figgis (James Bolam) and an upper-class hypochondriac called Archie (Peter Bowles). All three of them cause headaches for the hospital staff, led by Richard Wilson with Derrick Branche. This week, Charlie, an elderly drunk, arrives at the hospital, claiming that he is looking for his son, from whom he has long been estranged, and Figgis is employed to find out more… First broadcast on Thu 9th Dec 1982 by ITV.

18:10 – Michael Bentine’s Potty Time S03E01 – Ancient Britain / 20,000 Potty Leagues Under the Sea – a British children’s TV show, written by and starring Michael Bentine,…

Another Hill Street Blues two parter, the series one finale Jungle Madness, means that Space Precinct will be bumped this week. More childcare-based mayhem ensues in this week’s film, The Babysitters (1994), also known as Twin Sitters – it’s always a good pointer that a film is going to be awful if it has more than one title. Two bodybuilders who are twin brothers try to fund their dream of opening their own restaurant by working as bodyguards for the twin nephews of a rich businessman who has blown the whistle on a corrupt colleague.
