Lennon: The Last Weekend
1.45am, Sky Arts
This week marks what would have been John Lennon’s 80th birthday. To commemorate the occasion is this moving documentary charting his final interview in December 1980, with BBC Radio 1 DJ Andy Peebles, before he was murdered only 48 hours later. Having not spoken to the media for five years previously, Lennon opens up on the breakup of the Beatles, his fraught relationship with the US government and his poignant plans for the future.

Mountain Vets

Impossibly hearty and wholesome fare as this series following the work of a veterinary practice in the beautiful Mourne mountains of Northern Ireland continues.

Five Guys a Week
10pm, Channel 4
Not a new kind of hamburger-based diet, but another edition of “saucy Snow White”, in which a woman chooses five potential boyfriends to live with her for a week, dumping one a day until bingo. Recent events have rendered this even more surreal than it already was. Still, will Charlotte find true love? Ali Catterall
The Graham Norton Show
10.45pm, BBC One
It might not be quite the same without the big red communal couch, but Norton’s safeguarded studio with a live audience feels more conducive to bonhomie than just a Zoom room. Tonight’s guests include Ewan McGregor, Diversity’s Ashley Banjo and Miley Cyrus. Graeme Virtue
Film choice
The Warriors (Walter Hill, 1979), 2.55am, Sky Cinema Greats
Walter Hill’s cult 70s movie is the pared-down tale of New York gang the Warriors, summoned to a meeting of the clans in the Bronx, framed for a killing, and fighting their way back to their Coney Island patch, pursued by every other gang on the streets. It is packed with inspired action in a dark and desolate city. Paul Howlett
