Count Arthur Strong
8.30pm, BBC1
All sitcoms must arrive here eventually: an episode where the whole gang visit a safari park, with near-death consequences. But the Count makes everything his own by playing on the pseudo-paternal bond between the two leads. Either can be the dad and today it’s Arthur (Steve Delaney), taking Michael (Rory Kinnear) on a well-meant but disastrously cheap birthday trip. As they go, comic seeds are, as always, deftly planted for harvesting later. Jack Seale
Tracey Breaks the News
9.30pm, BBC1
As part of a recently commissioned raft of satires across all BBC TV channels (including brand new series for Frankie Boyle and Philomena Cunk), Tracey Ullman impersonates Theresa May, Nicola Sturgeon, Angela Merkel and Melania Trump for this one-off political show dealing with the (utter) state of the world and the fallout from the most surreal general election in quite some time. Ali Catterall
Peter Kay’s Comedy Shuffle
9pm, BBC1
Isn’t it a bit early for Peter Kay to be looking back over his career? Which is, incidentally, a compliment, a way to suggest that Car Share reveals a man who, even after 20 years of success, hasn’t lost his ear for the vernacular; the Alan Bennett of austerity Britain perhaps? That said, any show that features clips from Kay’s shows, highlights of his chatshow jawmongering and his music videos has to be worth a look. Jonathan Wright
The Celebrity Crystal Maze
9pm, Channel 4
After last year’s enjoyable revival, this 90s gameshow favourite is back for a full series with Richard Ayoade presenting. He isn’t bald, but he does have the second most crucial quality for a Crystal Maze presenter: a funny run. Tonight’s guests include Ore Oduba, Vicky Pattison, Alex Brooker, Lydia Bright and Louie Spence but the names don’t really matter. This isn’t about the celebs or even the nostalgia; it’s just proper good fun for a proper good cause. Ellen E Jones
Radiohead at Glastonbury 2017
10pm, BBC2
It’s Radiohead night at Worthy Farm and the BBC is throwing the kitchen sink at the dour but occasionally transcendent Oxford five-piece. Thom and the lads will be live on the Pyramid Stage but first, Mark Radcliffe and Lauren Laverne look back over the band’s 23-year association with the festival with, one imagines, emphasis on the 1997 set that catapulted them into the big league. Phil Harrison
Jamestown
9pm, Sky1
The wife-shipping drama concludes in lavish style. A new boat load of women arrives, which leaves Verity feeling wistful and Jocelyn worried that the real reason why she went to America is about to be exposed. James decides it’s time to buy himself a wife, but first there are deals to be done that not everyone will embrace. While a party to celebrate the harvest is in full swing, there’s a chilling sign that times are changing. Hannah Verdier
Download Festival 2017
9pm, Sky Arts
This festival is ironically and aptly named: it’s thanks to the rise of downloading that the live circuit, rather than album sales, is where it’s at for big bands these days. This rebranded Donington festival brings a host of veteran rock monsters to muddy Leicestershire, including Boston’s Aerosmith who’ve been growing old disgracefully for years, heavy metallurgists System of a Down and Scottish rockers Biffy Cyro. Part two airs on Saturday night. David Stubbs
Film choice
Bridget Jones’s Baby (Sharon Maguire, 2016) 12.15pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
After the silly Thailand shenanigans in The Edge of Reason, cinema’s most lovable diarist returns to ramshackle London life. Renée Zellweger’s Bridget is now a producer for a cable TV company; Patrick Dempsey’s Jack is her new beau, but Colin Firth’s awkward Darcy is still around, and Bridget has had a little accident in the birth-control department. It all makes for a good-natured comedy. Paul Howlett
