Travel Man: 96 Hours in Iceland
8pm, Channel 4
There is no such thing as too much Mr Lycett at Christmas, so here is Joe again – this time as the new Travel Man, replacing Richard Ayoade after nine seasons and several Christmas specials. A four-day trip – twice the usual length – around Iceland with Bill Bailey requires a bumper itinerary that includes visiting a punk museum in a disused public toilet, taking a dip in a geothermal “nature bath”, flying in a plane across Iceland’s longest fjord and having a go at husky sledding.

Clarice
9pm, Alibi
Clarice has the unenviable task of following up one of cinema’s most highly regarded horror films, The Silence of the Lambs. A year after the film’s events, Clarice Starling (Pretty Little Liars’ Rebecca Breeds) is struggling to handle her newfound notoriety within the FBI when a grizzly killer strikes. Sometimes schlocky, but undeniably moreish. Henry Wong
Curb Your Enthusiasm
9pm, Sky Comedy
Season 11 of Larry David’s acidic comedy of ill manners dropped hints that it might be the equivalent of an origin story as the moneyed curmudgeon successfully sold a lucrative streaming series about his formative years. But, as the season concludes, any self-reflection on Larry’s part has been in short supply. Graeme Virtue

West Side Story (Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, 1961), 4.35pm, BBC Two
Steven Spielberg’s take on the stage musical is in cinemas now, but you could do worse than stay on the sofa for Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins’ Oscar-laden 1961 version. In this Romeo and Juliet tale updated to mid-50s New York, Richard Beymer and Natalie Wood may not be the most vital of leads (Jimmy Bryant and Marni Nixon were employed as their “ghost singers”), but with support from George Chakiris and Rita Moreno, and a rollcall of jazzy numbers from Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, it is the swingiest thing.
