This weekend sees the return of the suburban dramedy (yes, I hate that word too), Weeds on Sky One. It’s been away from our TV screens here in Blighty for 18 months now, and finally fans will get to see what happened to their favourite single mum, Nancy, after sleeping with an agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration. This plot is said to be critical for the rest of the remaining season, so no power naps allowed.

As always, we’re a bit behind the show in the US, with the third season due to air there later this month. Recently Mary Louise Parker was again nominated for an Emmy for her turn as Nancy Botwin, sublimely combining outrageous humour with tender emotion, with Elizabeth Perkins also picked up a nod. News is that the re-worked theme tune take a bit of getting used to, but what’s a naff jingle between friends?
