Channel 4's Comedy Gala, 9.00pm – oddly enough – Channel 4
Get the dinner in early to reduce the choking risk. The stars of stand-up and telly humour gather at London's O2 Arena in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital, with Kevin Bridges, Jo Brand, Russell Brand, Jason Byrne, Jack Dee, Lee Evans, Rhod Gilbert, Adam Hills, Keith Lemon, Michael McIntyre, Jonathan Ross and Jack Whitehall among those who are determined to make you go to bed happy. We're also promised "unlikely dance cameos" as Alan Carr, Warwick Davis and Miranda Hart join Diversity for the night. Hmmm, how many YouTube views on that one by Sunday evening?
Britain's Secret Homes, 9:00pm, UTV
Michael Buerk and Bettany Hughes are our hosts as we hoof it through the Top 50 "most secret, surprising and intriguing homes" in the UK in this new, five-part series. It's not all Downton action, mind - everything from railway carriages inside bungalows(!), to cottages to covert ops' pads feature here, with Ricky Tomlinson, Twiggy and Michael Portillo among those getting the grand tours. In episode one we meet the Somerset couple who discovered a 500-year-old portrait of Henry VIII while plastering their living room, tramp around Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle's old boarding school, Stonyhurst College, and visit the secret village that saved the lives of WWI veterans.
Point Break, 11:55pm, BBC One
Ah, Special Agent Johnny Utah. When it comes to guilty pleasure action movies, two of the very best came to Irish cinemas in 1992: the wisecracks-bonecracks bromance The Last Boy Scout and this surfing-heist mash-up, featuring arguably Keanu Reeves' most intense line delivery this side of Paula Abdul's Rush, Rush video. He plays the aforementioned Utah, who goes undercover in the California surfing world in order to take down a gang of armed robbers called The Ex Presidents. The late, great Patrick Swayze plays the surrogate father/rival/prime suspect out on the board, with Lori Petty the ultimate tomboy love interest. The surfing and scraps are top notch; Keanu does his bit for male body insecurity at regular intervals and by the end putting on a wetsuit yourself has moved right up the bucket list. Incidentally, if this all sounds like your thing, have you read Kem Nunn's superb book Tapping the Source? The man created his own genre: wait for it, surf noir.
