If you're going no further than the sofa - and even if you are - here are some tips on what's worth watching on the box between Friday and Sunday. . .
Pick of the Weekend
The Cry, 9.00pm Sunday, BBC One
The BBC has been on a roll for some time with drama, but it's quite remarkable that they followed Bodyguard with this equally engrossing show.
Joanna (an outstanding Jenna Coleman) and Alastair (Ewen Leslie) grow further and further apart as they attempt to rebuild their lives after recent events.
In this final episode, the (so-far-quite-complex) story reaches its far-from-obvious conclusion and finally the truth must come out.
An unexpected delivery triggers a long-forgotten memory for Joanna and throws things into question, changing everything.

Philly McMahon: The Hardest Hit, 9.30pm Sunday, RTÉ One
Dublin footballer Philly McMahon draws from personal experience to explore the underbelly of illicit drug use and makes the case for decriminalisation in Ireland.
McMahon is a man on a mission to change attitudes. His older brother John was a heroin user and died after a long battle with addiction in 2012.
Since then, Philly has been travelling the country campaigning for decriminalisation, as well as mentoring young people and encouraging them away from drug use.
Life and Death of Sam Cooke, 9.00pm Friday, Sky Arts
This documentary tells the story of the tragically short life of Sam Cooke, one of the most important recording artists of the 1950s and '60s, taking a particularly close look at the mysterious circumstances surrounding his violent death.
On December 11 1964, at the age of 33, Cooke was shot and killed by a motel manager in Los Angeles. After an inquest, Cooke's death was ruled to be a justifiable homicide.
But Cooke's family continue to call into question the circumstances of his death. Was the singer targeted for murder? Was his death a tragic, but justified, case of self-defence? Or did a simple robbery spiral out of control?

54 Hours: The Gladbeck Hostage Crisis, 9.00pm Saturday, BBC Four
Here's an acclaimed two-part series based on the true story of an unprecedented hostage crisis which shocked Germany in the summer of 1988. Two robbers hold up a bank and demand free passage from the police while taking bank employees hostage.
In German with English subtitles.
Arthur Miller: Writer, 9.00pm Sunday, Sky Atlantic & NOW TV
Award-winning filmmaker Rebecca Miller presents an intimate portrayal of her father, one of the most iconic American playwrights of the 20th Century.
From her unique perspective, the documentary includes never-before-seen material, including in-depth interviews and home movie-style footage, providing insights into Miller that are quite different from anything the public has previously seen.
Opening the door to the man behind the icon, the film delves into the roots of his life as an artist, and explores the strengths and weaknesses of his character.

Weekend Movies
Coco, 6.10pm Saturday, Sky Cinema Premiere
Pixar's wonderfully life-affirming Oscar winner centres on Miguel Rivera (voiced by Anthony Gonzalez), who's a music-loving youngster dreaming of more than small-town Mexico life and following in his family's shoe-making traditions.
His idol is Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt), a legendary late pop star to whom he may be related.
Could Ernesto and his disgraced great-great-grandfather - a vagabond musician who walked out on a young wife and infant son - be one and the same?
Finding answers means magically journeying to the Land of the Dead, where skinny mutt Dante and skeleton scallywag Héctor (Gael García Bernal) come along for the ride.
