Jason Manford (right) hosts this new series which takes the best bits of The Secret Life Of 5 Year Olds – where the kids’ honesty is tested with things such as chocolate cake they’re asked not to eat – and turns it into a game show, as parents predict how their children will behave.

It’s Jason’s interactions with the children – think Kids Say The Funniest Things – that really make the show.

“Do Mum and Dad ever do anything embarrassing?” he asks one of the youngsters. “Yes – my mum farts on the way to the toilet.” You’ll be giggling along as the parents sit there crying.

Back In Time For Tea, 8pm, BBC Two

It starts with her early years and tells how, until her uncle’s dramatic abdication from the throne when she was just 10, Elizabeth (centre) had a quiet life away from the public eye – she even found out she would be a future queen on her way home from a swimming lesson!

There are few people in the world who haven’t heard of IKEA, but the Swedish furniture brand is notoriously secretive.

This three-part documentary is set to lift the lid on its design and production processes, and follows a group of new managers, including Paul (above), as they undertake important training. Intriguing.
