Summary

We're returning to Dirty John this week with a second series of that anthology show, which no longer features anyone named John, and returning to The First Team (kind of) in Apple's similarly-themed football comedy, Ted Lasso. Plus we take in some bite-sized comedy in Diane Morgan's Mandy and it all kicks off over this year's TV BAFTAs, in which Fleabag and Derry Girls were defeated by Stath Lets Flats.

world we know in which down is up, right is left, and chaos has twisted events into a

Fucking Flats won a Baffa last week beating,

let's see, catastrophe, dairy girls, and fucking flea bag, and I, quite frankly, don't want to live in any plane of existence this twisted.
