TV

How I Met Your Mother
2x05 World's Greatest Couple

Never Mind the Buzzcocks
23x03 (15/10/09 edition)
Alex James looked nervous as anything, but actually did a great job as this week's guest host of another hilarious edition. Those viewers who are trying not to enjoy Buzzcocks now that Amstell's left are really missing out.

Ross Noble's Australian Trip
Part 1 (of 6)
The frequently surreal comedian conducts a tour of Australia on his motorbike, in a cross between the Ewan McGregor/Charley Boorman series and, well, any recorded stand-up gig. Like most of his work, it's a mix of the hilarious and the lacklustre.
[Watch it (again) on Demand Five.]

The Sarah Jane Adventures
3x02 Prisoner of the Judoon Part Two
A strong second part, showing off even more of the things that made the first so good. Next week's looks promisingly spooky too.
