1. The Pitt

The brilliant Noah Wyle reteams with ER veterans for this medical drama in a Pittsburgh hospital. Playing out in real-time, it’s a riveting, moving and intense watch – and one of the best TV shows you’ll see this year.

2. Last One Laughing UK

The best new comedy format since Taskmaster, this ruthless, star-studded comedy contest is relentlessly funny, laugh-out-loud TV. And that’s before you get to David Mitchell’s musical number.

3. Daredevil: Born Again

Excellent performances and brutal action means that Daredevil’s long-awaited return to our screens is darkly satisfying.

4. For All Mankind

Ron Moore’s alt-history drama is a compelling space race full of political and personal stakes.

5. Bait

Riz Ahmed is formidable in this self-aware, funny, sharply observed comedy about an actor attempting to become the next James Bond.

6. Saturday Night Live UK

The iconic sketch show finally gets a British spin-off in this enjoyably silly live spectacle, with a promising team of comic writers and performers.

7. Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen

This dark, relentlessly creepy horror about a couple about to get married more than lives up to its ominous title.

8. Babies

Paapa Essiedu and Siobhán Cullen are heartbreakingly good in Stefan Golaszewski’s moving drama about a couple suffering a pregnancy loss.

9. The Other Bennet Sister

This charming period comedy reimagines Pride and Prejudice from Mary’s perspective – with a sweetly awkward Ella Bruccoleri at its heart.

10. Race Across the World

Pairs race across Europe and Asia to reach Hatgal in northern Mongolia without flying or phones – and on a strict budget – in the return of the Beeb’s gripping and entertaining reality competition.
