We’re having so much fun on set, I think you’re all in for a treat!” What with the royalties and repeat fees he must have accrued over the years from what I've always imagined to be a highly successful and enviable career, it had never previously occurred to me that Adrian Edmondson might be a bit strapped for cash. But I couldn't come up with any other explanation for him agreeing to front the truly pointless Ade in Adland (ITV), a programme idea so feeble and so old that I can't imagine even Alan Carr agreeing to do it for a late-night bank holiday schedule filler on Channel 4.

That’s the dilemma that also plagues the school board members—led by a vividly haggard Ray Romano—when they first learn of the administrators’ indiscretions. Going public would not only jeopardize the standing of the school district nationwide, it also would damage its reputation locally, which would make it harder for high-school seniors to gain acceptance at top universities, which would cause property values to plummet.Katherine Grayson ( Katherine Kingsley), Frank's mother, who begins a relationship with Martin after his breakup with Green. Grayson has a pedigree chihuahua called Coco whom she considers a princess, showing more affection towards Coco than her son. Her relationship with Martin ends after Cleo may have unknowingly killed Coco while she was in Martin's care (Coco is later shown to be unharmed in the post-credit clip).

There are some formats, though, that never seem to get tired, real-life hospital documentaries being one of them. There was nothing in Trauma: Level One (ITV) that hadn't been shown many times before; no agenda other than bad things happening to ordinary people and highly skilled medical teams doing their best to limit the damage.

I'm not sure if it's because I can't help watching and thinking of what fine margins we all live by – how little it would take for my life to be changed for ever – or whether it's that these human dramas are far more moving, stomach-churning and gripping than anything else on TV. But they get to me every time and I can't not watch them. Jemima "Jinx" (Laura Marcus) (Reunion, Series 4), a socially-conscious member of the class who appears to be completely unaware of her own privilege.

Despite a mixed reception from critics, the show remained "a hit with the target audience", and was adapted to a 2015 film starring the original cast. Frequent, very mature sexual content. Men and women are shown fully nude, including a scene in which a boy displays his naked uncircumcised penis to a crowd at school. Characters have explicit sex, with lots of movement and noises, as well as bare breasts. They also talk frankly about orgasms, positions, body fluids, masturbation, pornography, etc. A character methodically lays out the supplies for masturbation (lube, tissues, pornography with a nude woman on the cover) before being interrupted by one of his mother's lovers wearing one of her robes. A teen girl is the subject of sexual rumors about her giving oral sex to multiple men on a dare. Viewers hear about one couple's experience with "strap-on" sex, teen boys talk at length about douching before anal sex, a boy masturbates frequently and intensely (his genitals are covered by clothes but we do see a spurt of bodily fluids when it hits a car's window), and so on. Expect kissing and dating between straight and queer characters.
