TV tonight: #MeToo takes centre stage in Steve Coogan’s comedy Chivalry

Chivalry

10pm, Channel 4

Making a comedy about how the #MeToo movement has affected Hollywood could so easily hit the wrong note, but creators Steve Coogan and Sarah Solemani pull it off with this confident, tongue-in-cheek six-parter. Careful not to be too on the nose, it follows indie director Bobby (Solemani) as she helps producer Cameron (Coogan) – who is terrified of being “cancelled” – to finish a problematic film. In this opening double bill, they bring in an intimacy coordinator to re-examine a sex scene with Sienna Miller – one of many starry cast members and cameos (reminiscent of Ricky Gervais’s Extras) that include Wanda Sykes, Paul Rudd and Lolly Adefope.
