Ah. The weekend is upon us with it’s stupidly short hours of daylight, rubbish cold weather and crappy people moaning about how dark it is and how chill… oh. Let’s have a look at what’s on TV this weekend instead shall we?

Tonight: We Are Family, BBC Two, 9pm

Reuniting families who have drifted apart and chronicling the resultant dramas and tribulations, in a way we’ve seen on Who Do You Think You Are?. However, this is real people. Tonight, the Minchews have been brought together.

Tonight: Comedy Showcase: The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, Channel 4, 10pm

Some bloke from Arrested Development (not the ethical hip-hop outfit, the US show y’dummy) stars in another Channel 4 comedy pilot. This looks rather good all told. A hapless office bloke ballses up absolutely everything with spectacular aplomb and Sharon Horgan makes a good cameo.

Tomorrow: FA Cup Live: Northwich Victoria v Lincoln City, ITV1, 12:15pm

We all know how bad ITV’s football coverage is. Matt Smith, Andy Townsend and Jim Beglin will do their absolute best to spoil a perfectly good game of football. More FA Cup action on Sunday.

Saturday: 7pm onward The Strictly Come Dancing/TV Burp/X Factor

TV gold!

Sunday: The Queen, Channel 4, 9pm

Drama about our monarch. This is a series of dramas which shows us pivotal events in our history via her. Everything should smell of new paint and stink of swan-fart. That said, there’s something that keep drawing us to that weird, rich old woman.
