Bird On A Wire, 10.40pm, STV

GIVEN that he moved into more straight-faced fare, it’s easy to forget that Mel Gibson once had a knack for comedy. This daft crime caper sets him up with Goldie Hawn as an informant and his former moll on the run from mobsters.

Short Term 12, 12.05pm, BBC2

QUIET drama, starring Brie Larson as a young care home worker who must confront her own demons as she deals with troubled kids. Rites-of-passage fare with bags of heart written and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
