Whitlock High School’s reluctant biology teacher Jack Carson Griffin (It’s Always Sunny’s Glenn Howerton) returns for a third season of this gentle comedy on the goings-on of the world of public schooling in small-town America. We open with Jack plotting revenge, with the help of his willing students, on the manufacturers of a disappointing popcorn maker he has ordered, while principal’s secretary Helen (Paula Pell) goes back to education to get her high school diploma, sparking chaos in her boss Principal Durbin’s (Patton Oswalt) office.

Film choice
Fargo (the Coen brothers, 1996) 11.45pm, ITV4
Snowy North Dakota is the setting for the Coen brothers’ surreal and brilliant dark comedy, a study of evil deeds arising from mundane motives. Frances McDormand won an Oscar for her heavily pregnant, small-town police chief landed with a triple murder case, and William H Macy is superb as a weaselly salesman-turned-kidnapper. Paul Howlett
