The Golden Cobra

10pm, BBC Three

Welcome to The Golden Cobra, the mankiest Indian takeaway in Ebbw Vale. As we join the animated gang, Basil the owner is killing a rat with a cricket bat and then using the bat to stir the korma. Trouble is on the horizon asa health inspector arrives without warning. As you can probably guess, it’s pretty basic level gross-out comedy with a slight visual debt to King of the Hill, but with its own grubby ambience. Phil Harrison
