Stuffed

9pm, BBC One
When you’ve just got an unexpected £8,000 bonus, what are the options? “Sit and watch GB News with Uncle Colin” – or head to Lapland? Guz Khan and Morgana Robinson star in this comedy caper as a couple whose ship comes in. Sadly, an administrative error has added a zero to the bonus of Arslan (Khan) and his employer wants it back. There’s a lovely turn from Sue Johnston as widow Lily, whom the family befriend. Phil Harrison
