Online: The Real George Osborne
"If a hardcore bit of body-popping can't woo Worcester Woman then nothing will ?" An uncanny online riff on George Osborne starring Rufus Jones (last seen playing Terry Jones in BBC4's Holy Flying Circus) from World Development Movement and writers Hoot Comedy that also makes a decent point about the "effective regulation of food speculation" ahead of a vote next year.

TV: Brass Eye
American satire arrives tonight in the form of Onion News Network on Sky Arts 1, but it's worth going back to 1997 to revisit Chris Morris's post-Day Today series, which took spoofing the news to such a dark place that it upset the real news. Take your pick from Drugs (Yellow Bentines, Triple-Sod or Cake?), Animals (a heartbreaking campaign for Karla the elephant), or Sex (featuring "helpful contributors" Peter Stringfellow and David Sullivan).
Radio: Radiolab: Patient Zero
Many imitate Radiolab, but none better it. Those driven to excessive use of hand gel by the likes of Contagion may wish to give this fascinating latest instalment a wide berth, because Patient Zero tells "a molecular detective story", chasing the origins of diseases from typhoid to Aids.
TV: White Material
Available until Wednesday, this tense, menacing Claire Denis film stars Isabelle Huppert and Christopher Lambert as plantation managers in an unspecified country, caught up in the nation's civil and racial unrest. And it's also scored by the Tindersticks.
TV: NTSF:SD:SUV::
This very daft spoof of acronym-heavy cop shows from the Adult Swim network features the fearless work of the "NTSF:SD:SUV::", the National Terrorism Strike Force; San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle ("Saving your ass so you can drive your Prius and see your movie in 3D without worrying about living in a country run by no-good terrorists"). Kate "Captain Janeway" Mulgrew, Rebecca Romijn and the voice of Peter Serafinowicz star, with cameos from Tony Hale and John Cho.
