The Last Leg: Locked Down Under
10pm, Channel 4
The lighthearted TV responses to lockdown have been abundant so far, from video-linked episodes of Have I Got News For You to Matt Lucas’s sketches and Grayson Perry’s Art Club. Yet, none have quite managed to capture the mix of anxiety, uncertainty and unexpected humour many of us have been experiencing – which is where the Last Leg comics come in. Live from Melbourne, London and Huddersfield, the trio will present their typically incisive take on the week’s events. Ammar Kalia

Joe Lycett’s Got Your Back

More customer service comedy, as funnyman Joe Lycett tackles the UK’s consumer concerns.

Ali Catterall
Modern Family
8.30pm, Sky One
After 11 years, 250 episodes and umpteen adoptions, the landmark US sitcom reaches its finale. Seemingly every member of the extended Pritchett clan is moving on and/or away, while – as always – finding ways to stay together. So it’s not too sad, especially since ABC is already talking a ‘“spinoff”. Ellen E Jones

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? (Lasse Hallström, 1993), 9am, Sony Movies
Like director Lasse Hallström’s earlier My Life as a Dog, this drama of smalltown US again casts an affectionate eye on familial dysfunction. Johnny Depp is Gilbert, caring for his autistic younger brother Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio) when Juliette Lewis’s zippy Becky shows up. Paul Howlett
