TV tonight: Mitchell and Webb are back for more Back

Back

10pm, Channel 4

David Mitchell and Robert Webb reunite for a second series of this pub landlord sitcom, playing estranged foster siblings. With Andrew (Webb) having taken over the family boozer, the John Barleycorn, he is now feeling held back by its responsibilities, while Stephen (Mitchell) seems far more relaxed and self-assured after his time away. A new gastro-pub down the road soon changes that, though, especially since they are hoping to poach a member of the Barleycorn staff. Ammar Kalia

Film choice

Ministry of Fear (Fritz Lang, 1944), 12.50pm, Film4
Little remains of Graham Greene’s source novel, but Lang creates a gripping, gloomy, suspense-filled tale. It stars Ray Milland as a man who, after spending two years in a mental institution for murdering his wife, is plunged into a fresh nightmare with spies in wartime London. A superbly atmospheric thriller. Paul Howlett
