The Rob Rinder Verdict
10pm, Channel 4
The barrister Rob Rinder has more or less shed the gimmicky “Judge” mantle of his ITV daytime programme, and these days seems to be one of those TV performers for whom the best format is no format at all, so long as they can just be themselves as uninhibitedly as possible. Rinder’s new four-part series follows a basic topical satire/interview template, using this week’s news as the excuse to tell certain celebrities and politicians face to face whether or not they are doing what they should.

The latest instalment of the Broadway biopic finds the producers of Chicago breathing down Bob Fosse’s neck.

Lethal Weapon

How did Stifler from American Pie become a CIA badass? The latest episode of the odd-couple cop show fills in the backstory of Seann William Scott’s eager-to-please Cole while he delves into a slick bank robbery with his cranky partner Murtaugh (Damon Wayans). It is violent fluff, with some gnarly stunts. Graeme Virtue
