14 August 2009
DRAMA
Hotel Babylon
9pm, BBC One
One of TV’s guiltiest pleasures draws to a close tonight with a darker tone than usual. Michelle Collins pops up as Karen, a good-time girl who’s looking for Mr Right – but is she everything she claims to be? Meanwhile, Ben gives new receptionist Mel a makeover.
DRAMA
Kingdom
9pm, ITV1
Series one of Stephen Fry’s cosy drama continues its welcome repeat run. This week an attractive woman arrives at the office asking for help to recover her kidnapped baby.
REALITY
Big Brother
9pm & 10.35pm, Channel 4
Some series of this show have proved must-see TV with compelling characters, terrific tasks and great twists. Alas, this isn’t one of them. After last week’s nominations, which saw everyone up for eviction, Davina McCall guides us through the latest developments before a new evictee is announced.
COMEDY
The Kevin Bishop Show
10pm, Channel 4
After a glorious start to the second run, this series has quickly turned into one of the best sketch shows on the box. Kevin and company’s take on Red Riding (Gritty Bafta) was a hoot, while upcoming Doctor Who assistant Karen Gillan continues to shine as Bishop’s glamorous
comedy backup.
