Of course, you should never apologise for quality… and thanks to David Walliams and Rob Brydon, Ronnie Corbett will be returning to our screens as the star of a new sitcom set in a care home.

Corbett has described the part of the aging lothario as a “sort of Hugh Hefner character”… and it’s an idea that certainly piques the interest.

I can’t wait to see it, especially since I enjoyed Corbett’s last regular sitcom outing Sorry! - so it’s just as well that this week’s Comedy Connections (which airs this evening at 10.35, BBC One) covers the 1980s series and features Corbett and the series’ writers discussing the show’s appeal and the birth of the catchphrase “Language, Timothy!”
