Comedy: The Last Leg, C4, 9pm
Comedians Josh Widdicombe, Adam Hills and Alex Brooker (left) return for a new series of the lively current affairs show, with a fair bit of silliness, daft set-pieces and debate thrown in for good measure.

The threesome are all socially distanced from their guests and each other for a review of the significant moments of the past seven days. As usual, the hashtag isitok paves the way for the gang to round up, examine and explain the leading and most entertaining news stories of the week.

Comedy, starring Abigail Cruttenden, Hugh Dennis, Sally Bretton and Lee Mack (above).
