Snowfall
10.50pm, BBC Two
Back to Los Angeles as the drama about the 1980s crack epidemic returns for a second series. On the street, dealer Franklin is inexorably losing his nice-guy vestiges as he’s forced to think about the future. And, as the storyline that looks at black ops in the Americas also develops, the CIA cuts Teddy’s funding. A violent drama that never scales the heights of The Wire or Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic in its dissection of the drugs trade, but is nonetheless impressively atmospheric and features strong performances. Jonathan Wright
Strictly Come Dancing
6.30pm, BBC One
Two hours of Saturday night glitter open with a dazzling Harry Potter-themed group performance to introduce Movie Week. This year’s dancers are already proving great value, from Faye of Steps’s polished moves to YouTuber Joe Sugg’s ability to win everyone over, so another night of shiny, feelgood TV is guaranteed. Hannah Verdier
John Lennon: Imagine
9pm, Sky Arts
The making of the 1971 album whose title track (depending on your position) is either a timeless classic or one of the worst songs recorded in the English language. There’s also the Macca-baiting How Do You Sleep? and a song that began life as a White Album outtake – Jealous Guy. You can’t keep a good tune down. Ali Catterall
Killing Eve
9.25pm, BBC One
The off-kilter spy thriller about the intelligence services’ attempts to halt a run of assassinations carried out by a charismatic killer ratchets up the tension. This week, Villanelle is told: “If you can’t play alone you have to play with your little brothers and sisters.” Villanelle, team player? Seriously? Mike Bradley
Troubles: The Life After
9.30pm, BBC Two
Co-directors Brian Hill and Niamh Kennedy have assembled a poetic film about the Troubles in Northern Ireland that is part historical account, part requiem and part first-person testimony. Most telling are the survivors’ accounts. As one says: “It’s important that people know the story that really happened.” MB
My Favourite Sketch
10pm, Gold
Funnier by the week, Sally Phillips invites W1A/Spaced star Jessica Hynes to select her favourite sketches. The result is a playlist that includes gems from Victoria Wood, Big Train and The Fast Show plus the surprise revelation that director Quentin Tarantino was a huge Spaced fan. Perfect post-pub TV. Continues Friday. MB
Film choice
The Wolf of Wall Street , 9pm, Film4
Martin Scorsese has a high old time of it, revelling in the debauchery of late-20th century Wall Street’s drug-and-sex-addled stockbroking princes, as described in the memoir of trader Jordan Belfort. It is done with great skill and fizzing energy, with Leonardo DiCaprio exerting all his star appeal. Paul Howlett
