Rob Schneider: Asian Momma, Mexican Kids
He's probably best known on this side of the Atlantic for Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo as well as supporting roles in many of his old pal Adam Sandler's movies, but Rob Schneider, a Saturday Night Live alumnus, started out in stand-up.

He goes back to his roots in this comedy special, during which he pokes fun at his own family and the issues that arise from its multi-racial make-up. From Tuesday
 
(Un)Well
A welcome six-part documentary series putting the global, multi-billion-pound ‘wellness' industry under the spotlight.

The ‘wellness' racket is rotten with crackpots, charlatans and crooks and unhinged conspiracy theorists who are more than happy to separate the credulous from their cash. Breast milk, ayahuasca, essential oils, bee venom therapy, tantric sex and extreme fasting are among the supposed panaceas being examined.
From Wednesday

The Trip To Italy
Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon play heightened, fictionalised versions of themselves in Michael Winterbottom's partly improvised six-part series, a sequel to The Trip.

(Two further series have followed.) This time, instead of northern England, they've been sent by a newspaper to travel through Italy, stopping off at fabulous restaurants and reviewing them.

It's a tough job, right? Brydon and Coogan eat a lot of amazing-looking food in spectacular settings.

They banter, bicker, competitively do impressions of Michael Caine and generally have a high old time. It's very funny and the scenery is wonderful to look at, but be warned - if you're not going on holiday this year, this could raise your envy levels dangerously high.

The Greatest Showman
Nobody could have predicted the success this lavish musical has enjoyed.

On its cinema release, many critics described it as shallow and pulled it to pieces for playing fast and loose with history. But audiences ignored them and flocked to see it at the cinema, while the soundtrack was a hit across the globe. 
Hugh Jackman is outstanding as P.T.
Barnum; the film charts the showbusiness entrepreneur's rise from poverty to fame as the creator of the American Museum. Also featured are the stories of some of its performers, unique entertainers who might otherwise have been destined for life in a freak show.

The songs, by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who also worked on La La Land, are wonderful too. Zac Efron, Michelle Williams and Zendaya are among the supporting cast. Disney+, from Friday
 
The Oprah Conversation
Oprah Winfrey's relationship with Apple TV+ continues.

Following her popular Book Club and Talks Covid-19 programmes, she's returning to the platform in the genre she knows best - the chat show. Each edition is filmed remotely from her Californian home and features in-depth interviews with movers and shakers in a variety of fields.
Guests include athlete Emmanuel Acho and Ibram X. Kendi, an expert on race in America and the author of How To Be An Antiracist. Apple TV+, available now
 
Little Birds
Six-part adult drama inspired by the erotic short stories of Anaïs Nin, friend of John Steinbeck and Henry Miller.

American heiress Lucy Savage (played by British actress Juno Temple) travels to Tangier in 1955 to marry a posh but impoverished Brit, Hugo Cavendish-Smyth (Hugh Skinner, who played Phoebe Waller-Bridge's long-suffering on/off boyfriend in Fleabag).

Unfortunately for her, Hugo is gay - when the pair are pronounced man and wife he awkwardly goes to shake her hand - and so she has to search elsewhere for the love and sexual excitement she craves.

Fortunately, they aren't too hard to come by. By happy chance she's landed slap-bang in the middle of a hedonistic, bohemian world of decadent rich people who seem to spend a lot of time having adventurous sex with each other. A lavishly, sensuously filmed show. Sky/Now TV, available now
 
The Shadow Line
With more twists than a Curly Wurly and a dream cast - Chiwetel Ejiofor, Stephen Rea, Christopher Eccleston, to name but a few - 2011's thrill-a-minute, seven-part crime drama won a Bafta for its director, Hugo Blick.
With more twists than a Curly Wurly and a dream cast - including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Stephen Rea & Christopher Eccleston (above) - this crime drama won a Bafta for its director, Hugo Blick
A crime boss has been murdered, and both the cops (an amnesiac Ejiofor) and the baddies are on the hunt for the killer.

Along the way, the chase brings in Turkish drug gangs, rent boys, bent coppers, secret love-children and a particularly deadly honey trap. Ejiofor is typically enigmatic as the policeman with a bullet lodged in his head and a mysterious suitcase full of cash in his house.

Ted Lasso
Disgruntled football fans will tell you that it often seems as if the manager of their favourite team has no idea what he's doing.

In this new ten-part sitcom, that is literally the case. Jason Sudeikis plays the title character, a small-town college American football coach who is plucked from obscurity to take charge of a professional English soccer team, despite having no prior knowledge or experience of the sport. 
Sudeikis previously played the character in ads for NBC's Premier League coverage and is the co-creator of the series alongside Bill Lawrence, the producer who brought us Scrubs, Cougar Town and Spin City.
