Interview With the Vampire

9pm, BBC Two

This enjoyably witty and raunchy adaptation has firmly located Anne Rice’s gothic horror classic in the present (unlike the 1994 film, which focused on the historical antics of the vampires). Concluding with another double bill, Eric Bogosian’s Molloy is continuing to provoke all and sundry. Daggers drawn, then, for Lestat’s lavish Mardi Gras ball in New Orleans at which many scores will be explosively settled. Phil Harrison

The latest installment of this popular comedy show has once again showcased the talents of all those involved.

Brassic

10pm, Sky Max

This week, Ash is on a mission to reclaim his great-grandmother’s home from a rival group of Travellers. At the same time, Vinnie and Erin’s version of quality family time turns into chaos at a school function. It’s safe to say, these snobby individuals are getting what they deserve. Ellen E Jones
