The Good Fight returns for a fourth run, The Trump Show lands, Taskmaster and Riviera return, while it's the end of the line for The Grand Party Hotel and Frankie Boyle’s New World Order . . .
Pick of the Day
The Good Fight, 10.15pm, RTÉ One
Season four of this often superb and always entertaining spin-off from The Good Wife begins where it left off - not being a fan of Donald Tump.
Christine Baranski’s character Diane - increasingly radicalised during Trump’s presidency - finds herself living in an alternate reality where Donald Trump was never elected and Hillary Clinton is in The White House.
All the gang are back, including Cush Jumbo as Lucca Quinn, who ends up defending none other than disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein in this 'other’ world.
Can’t wait to see how this plays out. What a great show!

Don't Miss
Rio Bravo, 8.00pm, BBC Four
Another fantastic western in this time slot (last week’s was John Ford’s sublime The Searchers). If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favour. If you have seen it, you know it’s great.
Howard Hawks’ greatest film is arguably even better than Ford’s classic.
It stars the likes of John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson and Walter Brennan, and follows the sheriff of the town of Rio Bravo, Texas, who arrests the brother of a powerful local rancher for murder and a siege develops.

Julia Stiles returns for the third season of the glitzy drama, joined by Rupert Graves and returning cast members Poppy Delevingne and Jack Fox.
A year has passed since the explosive finale of the last run, and Georgina (Stiles) has abandoned the Riviera, leaving all its devastation and damage behind to start a new life as an art restitution lecturer.
Noted expert Gabriel Hirsch makes her an offer she can’t refuse - come and work with him, and practise what she’s preaching. In Venice.

Mo's tour features pioneers of the scene such as Angie Le Mar, the veteran comic from The Real McCoy who was the first female Black comedian to have a sell-out show in London's West End.
Here's Mo in action:
