As we approach another week in TV land here’s the usual five highlights for the week ahead.
Raising Hope (Sky 1, Sun, 6:30pm)
Anybody who saw the first series of Raising Hope on Sky knows that this likeable sitcom is worth a watch when it returns on Sunday. Raising Hope is based around the exploits of the Chance family and in particular, son Jimmy who, in the first episode of the series, discovered that he’d had a baby with a serial killer who know wanted him to look after it as she was to be sent to the Electric Chair. Jimmy and his parents Burt and Virginia do their best to care for Hope, although things don’t work out all that well while the fact that they’re not exactly wealthy means they can’t always afford the finer things in life, but somehow they muddle through. This second series starts with the revelation that Jimmy was once a musical child prodigy and so he sets out to discover his artistic side mainly to impress long time crush Sabrina. While Raising Hope isn’t as funny as Modern Family, it’s good old-fashioned working class sitcom with some great one-liners while Martha Plimpton is a hoot as Virginia and the legendary Cloris Leachman is just plain barmy as Jimmy’s great-grandmother.

Helping/hindering him along the way were Jimmy’s clueless parents Virginia and Burt and crackers Grandma, Maw Maw . Offering a sane shoulder to lean on, however, was shop girl Sabrina, who Jimmy also had the warm fuzzies for.
