STAGED: Last week streaming service Britbox made the surprise announcement that David Tennant and Michael Sheen had made a third series of their comedy which had started in lockdown. It lands today, with life back to normal for the two actors, though director Simon Evans is keen to get them to work together again.

ABSOLUTE POWER: Also landing on Britbox today is this BBC satire set in the cynical world of public relations, starring Stephen Fry and John Bird. And the 1989 pilot episode of KYTV, a sketch show based on radio series Radio Active, and set in a fictional TV station, is also added to the catalogue.
