The Last Leg
10pm, Channel 4
This cheerful, topical comedy is never off air for long – and with world affairs teetering on the brink of madness so much of the time at the moment, that is probably not surprising. The genial but incisive Adam Hills hosts, while Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe comprise the show’s regular comedy backbone. As ever, it is likely that the special celebrity guests – keen to stretch their satirical chops as a form of protest – will provide the incentive to watch. Increasingly, something of a Friday evening institution. John Robinson
Lethal Weapon
9pm, ITV
Bickering cops Riggs and Murtaugh find themselves caught up in the social-media whirl of pop star Shaye (played by former singer JoJo) when her bodyguard is found dead with his trousers down. Could her manager Phil have something to do with it? And can Riggs handle brunch with his new DEA squeeze? Graeme Virtue
Hits, Hype & Hustle: An Insider’s Guide to the Music Business
9pm, BBC Four
This glimpse behind the curtain of the music biz moves on to gigs. From an age when revue-style bills of assorted artists would pack stalls to the stadium-stuffing bombast of today, the expert hand of a skilled svengali is essential for keeping the logistical plates a-spinning. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Six
9pm, 5Spike
Life in the private sector can be as tough as in the military. So learns former Navy Seals leader Rip Taggart as he sits in captivity in Nigeria, detained by Boko Haram. But help is on the way as his former colleagues in Team Six mount the rescue operation that forms the overarching plot of this week’s action. Jonathan Wright
Will & Grace
10pm, Channel 5
W&G puts its sentimental hat on for a boy named Skip: he’s Jack’s grandson, and more terrifying than that is how his parents have reacted to him being gay. Cue earnest affirmations. A moment in the subplot, when Karen apes one of Trump’s micro-aggressions, reminds us why this show is still necessary. Jack Seale
The Graham Norton Show
10.35pm, BBC One
The ever-chipper Norton welcomes Tom Cruise back to his sofa: we’ll almost certainly hear more about the broken ankle he sustained while filming a stunt on the forthcoming Mission: Impossible 6 in London last year. And Paloma Faith performs her disco-inflected Til I’m Done. Ali Catterall

Drive (Nicolas Winding Refn, 2011) 11.05pm, BBC Two
One of Ryan Gosling’s star-making roles: in Nicolas Winding Refn’s stylised thriller he plays a getaway driver whose angelic features mask a capacity for extreme violence. He’s motoring along smoothly until his (platonic) involvement with neighbour Carey Mulligan gets him fatally mixed up with LA mobsters. Paul Howlett
