Sunday on E4: From Cooking Chaos to Family Follies
Get ready for a Sunday that swings from kitchen battles to laugh‑out‑loud family mishaps.
1. The Simpsons – 14:25 – 16:55 BST
Bart’s Birthday sees Bart scrambling to host his own party while Mr Burns fakes his death. The episode keeps the classic satire alive, though the jokes feel a tad predictable. Still, it remains one of the better options for fans of the long‑running series.
2. Modern Family – 07:10 – 09:30 BST
The Musical Man has Cameron steering a school musical with gusto, but the enthusiasm borders on over‑the‑top. It’s still entertaining, especially for those who enjoy the show’s quirky dynamics. The follow‑up episodes about Lily’s guardianship, Mother’s Day chaos, and the swap‑parenting experiment all deliver the familiar family banter, though the pacing feels uneven.
3. Brooklyn Nine‑Nine – 09:30 – 10:25 BST
The Good Ones brings the crew back for the final series’ opening. Amy’s return adds a fresh dynamic, but the episode’s plot feels slightly stale compared to earlier seasons. It holds up well as a light‑hearted start to the series finale.
4. Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back – 10:25 – 14:25 BST
Gordon Ramsay tackles a series of restaurants, from Catfish Cabin to Bayou on the Vine, offering a dose of culinary drama. While the premise is engaging, the pacing can feel rushed, and the show’s realism is often compromised for spectacle. Still, it’s one of the better options for food‑obsessed viewers.
5. Cloudy with a Chance of… Meatballs 2 – 18:00 – 20:00 BST
Animated family adventure that continues the recipe for chaos. A solid pick for younger viewers, though older audiences may find it lightweight.
6. The Inbetweeners Movie – 21:00 – 23:00 BST
Outrageous comedy that takes the lads on a scandalous holiday. Reliable for a late‑night laugh, though the humor is repetitive.
7. Naked Attraction – 23:00 – 00:05 BST
Intimate matchmaking show that keeps viewers hooked, though the premise is predictable.
8. Gogglebox – 00:05 – 01:10 BST
Sharp‑witted armchair critics dissect the latest reality hits. A decent way to wrap up the night with some meta commentary.
Bottom Line: E4 offers a varied Sunday, from the iconic satire of The Simpsons to the culinary whirlwind of Ramsay’s show. Whether you’re chasing family drama or culinary fixes, there’s something that fits every mood.
