STEPHEN Merchant has made a welcome return to British TV.
You can catch him in the new six-part comedy drama, The Outlaws.
What time is The Outlaws on BBC One?
The Outlaws started on Monday, October 25.
It continues TONIGHT (November 1, 2021) at 9pm on BBC One and BBC IPlayer.

The six-part series is written and directed by multi-award-winning Stephen Merchant, who will also star in the cast.
The series was filmed in the West Country.
What is The Outlaws about?
The series follows seven people performing community service.
At first viewers may believe that the group is made of the stereotypical people you would assume to be doing community service, but we soon find out their hidden depths.
The offenders form an unlikely friendship and we eventually see their private lives intersect.
The group is then forced to come together in order to protect one of their own from Bristol’s most dangerous criminal gangs.
A teaser for the series shares of The Outlaws: "The Outlaws follows seven strangers from different walks of life forced together to complete a Community Payback sentence in Bristol. At first, they seem like archetypes we can easily pigeonhole, but gradually we see behind their façades, understand their hidden depths, and what made them the people they are today.
"We are reminded that no one is all good or all bad. Everyone has a story. As their unlikely new friendships intersect with their complicated private lives, The Outlaws must unite to protect one of their own from Bristol’s most dangerous criminal gang.”
