TV tonight: Leo Reich’s new London sitcom especially for gen z

10.05pm, Channel 4
Comedian Leo Reich has created the great British sitcom for generation Z. “It just feels like everything is over,” says 23-year-old unemployed Ethan, rather unbearably, as he and his best mates from uni, Abi (Emily Fairn) and Sam (Olive Gray), leave their shared house. As they bounce around London trying to figure their lives out, there are funny and sorely relatable results. Plus, cracking guest stars include Amelia Dimoldenberg, Andrew Scott and Lena Dunham.

The Yorkshire Vet

8pm, Channel 5
You can depend on Channel 5 for uber-gentle programming with “Yorkshire” in the title, although this long-running series does showcase some tough cases amid the idyllic rural stuff. Former battery hen Jemima has had a tough life and now has a painful prolapse, while Ella the cat’s sore eyes require surgical intervention. HJD

Taskmaster

9.05pm, Channel 4
A worrying incident (and a Taskmaster first), as an attempt to avoid a flying sausage leads to actual bloodshed. Other firsts include a new method of counting (pioneered by Isy Suttie) and a new word (thanks to Nina Conti). Elsewhere, Alex’s new “science machine” elicits a level of scorn that may also be unprecedented. Phil Harrison
