Arrange Me a Marriage
8pm, BBC2

With about 700,000 month-long relationships behind him and an annoyingly lazy attitude to apparently everything, it is less than surprising that rock fan Trevor is not yet married, and more than surprising that his lovely, patient family have managed not to kill him. Yet. Aneela Rahman is brought in to arrange an introduction party and, with the help of his loving family and friends, carefully whittles down the possibilities and finds a person they all agree may well be his perfect partner. And what does he do with this grand gesture, this beautiful opportunity? Oh, wait and see.



Hitler's Favourite Royal
9pm, Channel 4

"He is only a vutnote in history, but I think he iz actually a big hairy Nazi who managed to get avay viz it!" the trailer has been shouting all week, and that pretty much sums it up. It's the story of Queen Victoria's youngest grandson, forced to become Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who ended up on the wrong side of two world wars. Interesting stuff about the removal of real power from the hereditary European royalty, if marred by a stupidly "sexed-up" title and a slightly breathy disbelief that someone of privilege could go to public school and still grow up to be a dangerous idiot. Yeah. What a crazy idea.

How to Get More Sex
10pm, ITV1

New series exploring changing geopolitical attitudes and their resulting socio-economic impact on llama-farming communities of South Yorkshire. Not really, it's about how to get more sex. Celebrities and other "real" people take part in highly scientific experiments to explore what is and isn't sexy, including the sniffing of pig-scented T-shirts. Still, probably a more responsible response than "Pay for it?"

The Mighty Boosh
10.30pm, BBC3

The Mighty Boosh continues with a classic tale of good against evil. Classic, that is, if your idea of classic involves crack-foxes, stolen bottles of precious shaman juice, tramps who take credit cards and bands of heroic binmen. Which, if you happen to live in the booshiverse, it does. More tightly written than the last series, with bonus fart gags - tonight, an argument about responsible refuse disposal has terrible consequences. How could it not?
