Great TV has handed its first half of primetime to MAS*H and has not hedged. Four episodes run back to back from 19:00 to 21:00, taking in series one episodes seven to ten. The show ran from 1972 to 1983 on CBS, 11 series and 256 episodes, with Alan Alda, Wayne Rogers, McLean Stevenson and Loretta Swit leading the cast. Starting a four-episode run in the show’s first series is a sensible move: viewers can drop in at any half hour. The 19:00 episode comes round again at 23:55 as well.

At 21:00 the channel switches to Carry on Sergeant, with William Hartnell, Bob Monkhouse and Shirley Eaton, directed by Gerald Thomas. It splits in two around a five-minute bulletin, with the second half at 21:57. It is a comedy from the earliest days of the series, and a pleasant counterpart to Gogglebox and the news.

Robin’s Nest closes the night at 22:55 and 23:25. The ITV sitcom ran for six series and 48 episodes, with Richard O’Sullivan and Tony Britton. Two half hours of it is a gentle way to end a Thursday.
