The Amazing Mrs Pritchard 9.00pm BBC1
So, has Britain woken up to the fact that it's made a terrible mistake in electing the manageress of a northern supermarket as its prime minister? Of course not, otherwise writer Sally Wainwright's idealistic, simplistic fantasy would simply grind to a halt.
No, Ros Pritchard (Jane Horrocks) seems to be carrying the country with her, as she sets about meeting the Queen (Dilys Laye) in advance of forming a government. But first there are a few weighty matters to contend with, notably a skirmish in Iran and an uncomfortable telephone call from George W Bush. She has lots of good ideas, too (you can always tell one's on the way, because the soundtrack music swells), including moving Parliament to Bradford. Alison Graham
