What's on? TV highlights for Thursday June 7

The Good Fight
The Good Fight

It's goodbye to The Good Fight and Madam Secretary, while Mock the Week and Supershoppers are both back on the box . . .

Pick of the day

The Good Fight, 9.00pm, More4

The second season of this Good Wife spin-off has been hugely entertaining: a great cast, super characters, intriguing plots and scenarios. Like a bar of Lindt Excellence, it's an absolute treat.

As the season comes to a close, the FBI questions Diane Lockhart as part of a job background check on Kurt, leading to unexpected and serious consequences.

Meanwhile, the mayor of Chicago invites Adrian and Julius to join a think tank that is tasked with working out how to spend funds to address the Kill All Lawyers problem.

Then chaos ensues in the delivery room after Lucca goes into labour early.

WARNING: there's strong language throughout this trailer:

New or Returning Shows

Mock the Week, 10.00pm, BBC Two

Dara O Briain and Hugh Dennis return to examine the week's events in what's the start of the 17th run of the topical comedy series, with guests James Acaster, Angela Barnes, Ed Gamble, Darren Harriott and Zoe Lyons.

Supershoppers, 8.00pm, Channel 4

Back for more retail revelations, presenters Anna Richardson and Sabrina Grant take on retail giant John Lewis and show that their famous price promise can't always be believed.

Plus: the programme also explores which batteries really last the longest, and determines the truth about supermarket value brands.

Ending Tonight

Madam Secretary, 9.00pm, Sky Living & NOW TV

This run-of-the-mill showcase for Téa Leoni (who plays the titular Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord) goes out with a bang as the fourth season concludes with an explosive finale.

Elizabeth and cabinet members brace for the fallout at home and abroad as President Dalton prepares for a retaliatory nuclear attack on a country that has reportedly just launched missiles bound for the US.

Barry, 10.10pm, Sky Atlantic & NOW TV

The first season of this dramedy about a hit man fancying a stark career change to acting has been pretty good so far and tonight Barry exits stage-left with a double bill to round off the season.

After last week’s deadly shoot-out at the airstrip, Barry is forced to make a difficult decision in order to evade capture.

Meanwhile, at the acting class, Sally fears squandering another opportunity to impress a top Hollywood agent.

Don't Miss

This is Us, 11.20pm, RTÉ One

By all accounts, an early, eight-minutes-long scene in tonight's episode offers a whole new view of the Pearson family that executive producer Issac Aptaker described as an "11-page, nonstop, tour de force scene".

Other than that, it's a good time to take a dip into this hugely empathic family drama if you haven't seen it before. Believe me, you'll be rewarded - especially by standout performances from the likes of Sterling K Brown and Mandy Moore.
