The Old Guys – Engagement

Friday 13 August
9.30-10.00pm BBC ONE

Tom and Sally get together to organise Amber's big day when Steve proposes, and Roy becomes agony aunt to Steve's pre-wedding nerves, as the comedy series about two elderly delinquents concludes.

When Amber calls round to show off her home-grown vegetables she doesn't bank on the reaction she receives from her unimpressed dad, Tom, and changes the subject to the exciting news that she has accepted Steve's proposal.

Tom realises that, financially, this is going to be most crippling day of his life but on the plus side he and Sally will be spending a lot more time together.

As mother of the groom, Sally goes into wedding overdrive and calls a meeting with Tom to get started on the essential 200-strong guest list. A worried Toms turns to Roy for advice, who advises him to be honest – Sally will understand that he can't afford a lavish wedding and assures him Amber will be happy with a simple day. Alternatively, he could always part with his beloved motorbike...

Tom confesses he can't meet the cost of a big day and Sally offers to pick up the bill with a nest egg she purposely set aside. It isn't long before pre-wedding nerves set in with Steve turning to Roy for marriage tips and Amber to her dad for reassurance that she is doing the right thing.

Sally also begins to have her doubts about a big wedding before Tom saves the day announcing he has sold his motorbike to give his daughter a perfect wedding and honeymoon to match, not realising that the reality turns out to be something quite different.

10.35-11.05pm BBC ONE

Presenter Rob Bryden (centre) with team captains David Mitchell (left) and Lee Mack

This panel show, in the grand tradition of the parlour game, is presented by comedian Rob Brydon. Over the course of each show, the celebrity guests reveal amazing stories about themselves, some of which are true and some of which are not. The aim of the game is to fool the opposition into mistaking fact for fiction and vice versa

David Mitchell and Lee Mack are the lightning-quick team captains hoping to lead their team to victory.

This week, Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel-Horwood and adventurous presenter Ben Fogle join David's camp to compete head-to-head with newsreader Kate Silverton and Outnumbered's Hugh Dennis on Lee's team.

Contestants will have to decide if Lee Mack was really thrown out of ballroom dancing classes when he was six; if Hugh Dennis truly has to touch his nose every time he says France for superstitious reasons; and whether Kate Silverton honestly read an entire news bulletin with one foot in a bucket of iced water. All this and more will be revealed on this week's Would I Lie To You?

Roger And Val Have Just Got In –
The Unglamorous Row Ep 2/6

High Definition programme
Friday 13 August
10.00-10.30pm BBC TWO and BBC HD
Fish fingers cause tension between Roger (Alfred Molina) and Val (Dawn French)
Fish fingers cause tension between Roger (Alfred Molina) and Val (Dawn French)

Val comes home to find Roger in an agitated state, as the bittersweet comedy starring Dawn French and Alfred Molina and focusing on the everyday, seemingly trivial trials and tribulations faced by a middle-aged married couple, continues.

Val's committed a cardinal sin in the eyes of Roger the botanist, and left their evening meal – fish fingers and frozen peas – in the conservatory fridge usually dedicated to Roger's seedlings and other plant-related projects. Thus begins a chain of events and escalating rows – each seemingly about fish fingers, but could there be more to it than that?

Despite various attempts by both parties to smooth things over there is no mistaking the tension in the air. Is Roger's bad mood down to more than the trespassing fish fingers? Is it because the two new warring water voles at the Winter Gardens have been named after Roger and his boss Phil?

Developed from an original idea by Dawn French, Roger And Val Have Just Got In is written by Emma and Beth Kilcoyne (Dogtown).

Roger And Val Have Just Got In is simulcast on the BBC HD channel – the BBC's High Definition channel, available through Freesat 108, Freeview 50, Sky 143 and Virgin 108.
