The Crystal Maze: Celebrity Special
9pm, Channel 4
Maze master Richard Ayoade finds himself sharing his Crystal Maze with another five celebs hoping to raise some cash for Stand Up to Cancer. Along with Olympian Greg Rutherford and former Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter, there’s grime MC Big Narstie, who appears to lack the necessary urgency for timed trials. Meanwhile, grinning YouTuber Alfie Deyes fails to make a single remark of consequence in a whole hour. Can team leader Dame Kelly Holmes wrangle them to glory? Ben Arnold
The Bridge
9pm, BBC Two
Missed connections, miscommunications, dead ends and patterns at best dimly perceived – such have been the recurring motifs in the final series of The Bridge. Tonight, though, things start to come into focus, albeit not without Saga once again demonstrating her capacity to misread those closest to her. Jonathan Wright
Tracey Breaks the News
9.30pm, BBC One
More topical satire in which Tracey Ullman and pals dress up as the newsmakers of the day (it’s recorded close to broadcast, so content is uncertain, but the Donald Trump outfit is likely to have been kept handy). It’s an obvious attempt at a British equivalent of the impersonation-led sketches of Saturday Night Live. Andrew Mueller
Friday Night Dinner
10pm, Channel 4
The last in a superb series that, far from running out of steam, has discovered perpetual comedic motion. Tonight, Mum makes the boys assemble a bookshelf for a mysterious project she is working on, Adam is expecting a call from America, and Jim’s dog Wilson is doing “dollops” in the flowerbed. David Stubbs
Africa: A Journey into Music
10pm, BBC Four
When Rita Ray talks about the “heartbreaking harmonies” that characterise South African music, she’s not kidding. Gorgeous footage – on street corners, at all-night singing competitions – captures, in Ray’s words, a vigour and passion that makes for a stirring and deeply poignant watch. Sophie Harris
Arctic Monkeys Live at the BBC
11.05pm, BBC Two
Both sonically and geographically, Arctic Monkeys are now a long way from their Sheffield indie roots. Their new album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, is a surprising affair – slinky, loungy and baleful. This stand-alone special sees them showcasing new tunes and dipping into their back catalogue, too. Phil Harrison
Film choice
Bend It Like Beckham, 10.45pm, ITV
Gurinder Chadha’s comedy about a British Asian girl who defies her parents’ traditional values to play football for a local team is as predictable as England’s early World Cup demise – but sweet and funny, too. Parminder Nagra makes an ace heroine, running rings around her co-star, Keira Knightley. Paul Howlett
