FLOWERS: Will Sharpe's critically acclaimed comedy-drama about a family living with mental health issue returns for a second series.

LIFE IN PIECES: Another US import that Comedy Central slots in among its Friends reruns returns for a second series.

MATT BERRY INTERVIEWS: Matt Berry presents a series of star interviews, starting with Uri Geller. This show was recorded at Geller's home in 1974 just as the self-proclaimed psychic's star was on the rise. The interview is described as’ revealing and sometimes surprising interview’. Especially surprising as Berry was only born in 1974… so expect some audio jiggerypokery. Radio 4, 11pm
