TV tonight: Ayoade and Waddingham voice an adult cartoon comedy

The Guardian's television guide for tonight, 10 October, points viewers to the adult animated comedy Krapopolis, which is on BBC Three at 11.40pm and available on the BBC's iPlayer streaming service. The series was created by Dan Harmon, best known as the creator of the cartoon Rick and Morty.

It is set in ancient Greece. The central character is the benevolent Tyrannis, voiced by Richard Ayoade, the mortal son of the vain goddess Deliria (Hannah Waddingham) and her husband Shlub (Matt Berry). He rules the city of Krapopolis using modern ideas. The run has six episodes of about 20 minutes each, and it arrived on iPlayer quietly last month.
