| Inbetweeners, E4, 10pm | Taking the place of Skins in the yoof slot, but not as archly/implausibly cool, Inbetweeners returns for a second series. This is a show about the sort of kids who were in all of your classes but you can't remember them when they add you on Facebook. This first episode features two of school's most exciting events: a field trip and the arrival of a new girl. The geography trip to Swanage does nothing to enthuse the lads; the opposite is true of shiny new student Lauren. Will (right) takes an immediate shine to her but it turns out she only has eyes for Simon. Such is life. Pervy jokes and pervier teachers mean that after watching this you'll be laughing - and longing for that crush from class 2B.
| | How Woolies Became Wellies, BBC1, 9pm | Claire Robertson was manager of the Dorchester branch of Woolworths (as in, the place in Dorset, not the in-house store of the Park Lane hotel). But in these difficult credit financial times current climate crunch, and in NO WAY because Woolworths was absolutely toilet, it of course closed down. But Claire wasn't beaten yet. She had a vision to continue selling germ-infested penny sweets and ironing board covers to the people of Dorchester, so she found investors and rehired staff and she bloody well kept the shop open under a new name. It's this sort of fighting spirit that saw off the Boche, and also makes for eccentric, rather endearing documentaries. One caveat: Chris Evans re-opens the new store.

| | The Truth About Eternal Youth, ITV1, 9pm | Say what you like about Coleen Nolan - she's a 44-year-old woman, on the telly, who happily looks every last day of it. Yes, she's guilty of singing cheesy tunes, stints on dreadful Loose Women, 'dancing' on ice and - most worrying of all - once marrying Shane Richie. But in this day and age, for a celeb over 40 to have had no Botox and no surgery is something to be commended. (If even strong, confident women like Madonna can't be relaxed in their own skin, where does this leave the rest of us?) Anyway, here, Coleen explores the different, maddening ways us women attempt to stay wrinkle-free. And the results are what we suspected: Fiddling around with your face is financially crippling, ethically warped, and likely to make you look weird.
