Things You Should Have Done

10pm, BBC Three
Lucia Keskin returns with her deadpan brand of comedy in the award-winning sitcom. Working through a list of things to do with her life, left by her dead parents, aimless Chi is feeling good – until the police are back on her doorstep with news of her aunt’s death. It’s a good time to tick therapy off the list with questionable grief counsellor Ruth, played by the always very welcome Bridget Christie. Hollie Richardson

Ellen E Jones
