Reasons to stay in -
Saturday 31st October
The Thick of It (BBC2, 10.10pm) - Malcom Tucker continues to 'fuck all the i's and fist all the t's' as he steers the new secretary of state (played impeccably by Rebecca Front) through the rocky waters of Whitehall.
Sunday 1st November
Celebrity Come Dine With Me (C4, 8pm) - More C-list celebrities showing off their culinary and entertaining skills. The real pleasure for us viewers, however, is having a snoop around their gaudy show-homes and watch famous people getting pissed. As always, Dave Lamb is on hand to cut through the pretension with his caustic voice-over.
Spiral (BBC4, 10pm) - Last in the series. Seriously, if you haven't managed to see the show, get yourself straight over to Amazon and purchase season one and two of this sublime cop show.
Tuesday 3rd November
Breaking Bad (Five USA, 11pm) - Bryan Cranston - the scene-stealing dad from Malcom in the Middle - plays a terminally ill high school teacher who becomes an unlikely producer of crystal meth. Five's sister station continues to take a punt on American imports inexplicably overlooked by the beeb and Channel 4.
Wednesday 4th November
True Blood (C4, 10pm) - Getting darker and funnier each week, with Jason and Lafayette the stand out characters.
Thursday 5th November
Curb Your Enthusiasm (More 4, 10.40pm) - Swearing, misanthropy, slapstick and Larry David - what's not to like?
Friday 6th November
Fleetwood Mac - Don't Stop (BBC4, 9pm) - From the early blues inspired days of Peter Green, right through to the drug-addled, million album selling behemoths of the mid-seventies, all you need to know about The Mac is right here in this new documentary.
Comedy Showcase (C4 10pm) - Seven more sitcom pilots from the strand that brought us this year's Free Agents.
Go out and do something less boring instead...
Gordon Ramsey's F Word (C4, Tues 9pm) - The craggy faced cock returns with another series of fawning guests, reportage and Janet Street fucking Porter.
Sofa Cinema Choices
