My Family
Weekdays at 8.20pm
Just when critics were saying the mainstream British sitcom was dead and buried, along came My Family to shut the whingers up. A far cry from previous "family" sitcoms like 2point4 Children, this show gives us lashings of sarcasm and more one-liners than Groucho Marx could shake a cigar at. And then of course there's Robert Lindsay, whose exasperated face is a national treasure in itself. We suggest a massive commemorative sculpture for Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth. That'll scare the tourists.
