The Gervais- and Merchant-produced comedy The Paper pokes fun at US journalism. Plus, Mitchell and Webb reunite for a new sketch show. Here’s what to watch this evening
9pm, Sky Max
The joke is on journalism in this mockumentary by the writers of the US version of The Office, with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant as executive producers. Cameras follow life at the Toledo Truth Teller, a historic midwestern newspaper that now only prides itself on articles about how much Ben Affleck tips. But Domhnall Gleeson’s Ned Sampson comes in as editor to shake things up. Look out for The White Lotus star Sabrina Impacciatore, whose comedy chops once again steal the show. Hollie Richardson
