TV tonight: Abby McEnany pushes dramedy to the limits – and runs low on nuts | Television

Work in Progress

9pm, Sky Comedy

Abby McEnany’s semi-autobiographical series – which follows a fortysomething queer woman with depression who says she will kill herself if her life doesn’t change within 180 days – returns for a second season. Continuing to push the dramedy genre to its limits, Abby is nearly out of almonds (she uses the nuts from a packet to count down the days), looking for a new therapist she doesn’t hate and navigating a pandemic with a new flatmate.

Comedians Giving Lectures

9pm, Dave

Sara Pascoe tasks three more comics with putting their own spin on pre-existing lecture titles. Nick Helm gets to the point of procrastination, Janine Harouni explores millennial success and Marcus Brigstocke talks weight-loss myths. If it all sounds potentially rather dry, do not underestimate the power of a rude singalong. Graeme Virtue
