The Wild Weekenders
8pm, Channel 4
The word “weekender” in a TV show’s title usually heralds a trip to Ibiza and a collective “Oi oiiii!” Here’s a programme that bucks the trend, with the charming Adam Buxton, Paralympics presenter Arthur Williams and foodie Clem Green sampling the delights of Devon. As an ex-Marine, Williams seeks out more adrenaline-based pursuits, while Buxton turns accommodation reviewer before the three meet to compare notes. Hannah Verdier
Last Days of Jesus
6.05pm, Channel 5
Just in time for Easter, this timely instalment in Channel 5’s Last Days series looks at the events that sparked the beginnings of Christianity. It re-examines the crucifixion and the events leading up to it, it explores the death of John the Baptist, and the increasing resentment towards both the religious authorities’ opulent lifestyles, and their obedience to Rome. There are also new archaeological findings surrounding Jesus’s execution. Ben Arnold
Decline and Fall
9pm, BBC1
Third and final part of Rev creator James Wood’s tart spin on the Evelyn Waugh classic, an adaptation that has remained commendably true to the rather cruel source material. After his dodgy trip to Marseilles, hapless schoolteacher and would-be stag Paul Pennyfeather (Jack Whitehall) finds himself unexpectedly in a place with lots of bars but no drink. Surely his glamorous fiancee Margot (Eva Longoria) has not forsaken him? Heads will roll. Graeme Virtue
Lethal Weapon
9pm, ITV
The small-screen reboot of the film franchise continues, with Riggs and Murtaugh stumble upon a money-laundering ring while investigating a murder. Naturally, they end up compromising another investigation – will they be able to aid drug cop Palmer? There are lots of tired tropes packed into this episode, from east Asian gangs to Riggs’s therapy sessions, but its shootouts, standoffs and that unlikely chemistry make it a worthy follow-up. Hannah J Davies
The Graham Norton Show
10.30pm, BBC1
Guests leave The Graham Norton Show but, as with the mafia, they keep getting pulled back in. Among the returning guests this week are Miranda Hart (slightly more awkward in interviews than you might expect), who’s talking about her new role in Annie, Keeley Hawes and the good-value, expansive Peter Capaldi. Your big Hollywood hitter this week is Warren Beatty, plugging Rules Don’t Apply, where he plays Howard Hughes. Julia Raeside
Ronnie’s Redneck Road Trip
8pm, Dave
Ron Shirley, a car dealer from North Carolina for whom the euphemisms “colourful” and “larger than life” might have been coined, arrives to buy some goddamn British cars as an annoying new structured-reality series begins. Episode one sees him spar with a stuffy English dealer, anger a shotgun-wielding aristocrat and disregard his fearsome wife’s instructions. Jake Yapp’s funny narration is like caviar on a corndog. Jack Seale
Spin
9pm, More4
Series three of the French political thriller begins ahead of elections where – contemporary resonance ahoy – an extreme rightwing party is gaining purchase. It also begins with shocking violence that leaves President Marjorie’s spin doctor, Simon Kapita, showing signs of PTSD even as his expertise is needed most. Elsewhere, in a series that’s one of the best Walter Presents offerings so far, Elisabeth strides determinedly into a diplomatic scandal. Jonathan Wright

Star Trek Beyond
(Justin Lin, 2016)
11.35am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Fast & Furious director Justin Lin is the new man at the helm of the rebooted Enterprise enterprise, and he powers up the old crate impressively, even though Chris Pine’s Kirk is obliged to abandon ship. The captain, along with Zachary Quinto’s lovable Spock, Zoe Saldana’s Uhura, (co-writer) Simon Pegg’s Scotty, ace new ninja-space warrior Jaylah (Sofia Boutella) and all, are marooned on a hostile, rocky planet, up against a beefy villain in Idris Elba’s Krall. Paul Howlett
Selma
(Ava DuVernay, 2014)
9pm, BBC2
David Oyelowo is an inspiring presence in this powerful account of Martin Luther King and the civil rights struggle. It mainly concerns the Alabama protest marches from Selma to Montgomery in 1965 and the brutal response of the authorities. That it also encompasses the personal toll of the conflict is mainly down to Oyelowo’s flawless performance. PH
