2 Broke Girls returns to E4 this week. This quirky sitcom follows two broke waitresses, Max (Kat Dennings) and Caroline (Beth Behrs), working in a Brooklyn diner, with aspirations to start a successful cupcake business. As usual with comedies originating in the US, the fifth season has already finished over there, but us lucky Brits have the whole season to look forward to when it starts this week. Episode one sees the diner in danger of being demolished to make way for an IMAX cinema! 2 Broke Girls returns this Tuesday (21st June) at 8pm, on E4.
