MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL (2011) 12 u

9PM, E4 ★★★

Simon Pegg has come along way since Spaced, his Ch4 TV comedy. Now, he’s big in Hollywood, and is a cosy comic presence in this fourth in the fun spy franchise. Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt is on the run after the IMF is blamed for destroying the Kremlin.

AIRPLANE! (1980) 12

u 11.40PM, ITV4 ★★★★

The Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker team’s breakthrou­gh blockbuste­r pokes fun at the increasing­ly clunky disaster movies of the 1970s. Leslie Nielsen and Lloyd Bridges let their deadpan skills fly in a gag-filled movie that would help to set the comedy template for decades to come.
