The Other Two

Season one of the snarky and sometimes surreal pop satire wraps up with musical youth Chase about to make his live debut at the MTV VMAs with his whiffy banger Stink.

A Cut Too Far? Male Circumcision
10.35pm, BBC One

Reporter Adnan Sarwar was circumcised by his Muslim parents as an infant.
