21:00 Monday – Jamie’s Death Row Dinners Cookery show that sees Jamie cooking the last meal of convicts awaiting execution. The show has not been without controversy, but as Jamie put it, “Dib dab dob, the fact that some of these boys have never tasted roasted concertina squid with grilled leeks and a warm chorizo dressing is the real crime here. Bish bash bosh, wallop!” Tonight’s lucky maniac is 35 year old Frank Priestman, who butchered 26 women in a 3 year reign of terror. “I’m really looking forward to seeing what Chef Oliver conjures up” he enthused through a specially made mask that he wears to stop him biting people. Channel 4 [subtitles recommended] 20:00 Sunday – Loose Canon New show from the makers of popular crime-fighting nuns drama Hard Habits. Canon Gregory Thompsett attempts to uncover crimes against God using nothing but his own interpretation of The Bible. In the first of many, many episodes, Thompsett tries to expose a gang of unrepentant homosexuals hellbent on living their lives. ITV 2 [contains light preaching] 20:00 Friday – FILM CHOICE: Anal Destination A group of teenage students dodge death after one of them has a premonition that the Aeroplane that they are due to fly in will crash. To celebrate this extraordinarily lucky escape they indulge in an evening of labelling everything in their communal fridge. Sky Movies 1 [contains zero sex] 20:30 Tuesday – Wheelchair of Fortune Phil Tufnell hosts the game show that he describes as ‘Robot Wars meets The Paralympics meets Gladiators‘.

In the first episode 54 year old church organist Brenda Frampton, who lives alone, is driven to the edge of insanity when she walks into her bathroom to find the word ‘Whore’ written in lipstick on the bathroom mirror. “I had a brilliant time making the show” revealed the former Gladiators host. “The look on their faces is priceless!” Sky One [contains occasional Awoogas] 22:00 Wednesday – Sex & Violence Massively contrived yet thoroughly entertaining American cop show. Detectives Charlotte Sex and Mike Violence persuade Chief Sweary to give them 24 hours to expose a porn gang.
