Naughty & Nice: Sex Toy Britain

10pm, Channel 4

Sexy times for Channel 4 this year: after its explorations of threesomes and homemade porn, it sees out the year with a look at the Christmas market in sex toys. Business is booming – possibly as a way of passing time in lockdown, the nation has become more adventurous. This documentary hears from lingerie designers, content creators and, most intriguing of all, sex toy developers who will hopefully walk us through their R&D processes. Phil Harrison

It just isn’t Christmas unless some celestial being convinces you to lighten up a bit. And it’s no exception tonight as Peter meets his own “Clarence”, who persuades him to, among other things, come to the aid of a stricken sheep and a poorly pet turkey. Cockle-warming stuff. Ali Catterall

24 Hours in A&E

9pm, Channel 4

Expect the usual heroism, tragedy and heartwarming human interest on this visit to St George’s hospital, south London, which has one of the busiest A&E departments in Britain. A broken back, a mangled arm and a bleeding throat are tonight’s ailments but, as ever, they won’t be the main story. That belongs to the brilliant humans who staff the NHS. Alexi Duggins

Insecure

As Issa Rae’s perfect storm of a fifth and final season edges towards its conclusion, she offers another episode to treasure. Is Issa really a dog person? Has she made the right decisions in her love life? Where’s her career going? There are plenty of choices to be made before the end of the season and it’s all beautifully played. Hannah Verdier

What We Do in the Shadows

One of the bloodthirstier episodes of the third season as Colin (Mark Proksch) and Laszlo (Matt Berry) savage a boatload of people. However, the series is becoming increasingly sweet, too, as the hefty backstories of these immortal beings are gradually fleshed out. PH
