Comic Relief: Funny for Money
7pm, BBC One
Alan Partridge’s return to our airwaves! The all-star trailer for The Traitors: The Movie! Fun with the Gladiators! It’s time for the annual fundraising bonanza, hosted by Lenny Henry for the last time, with help from Maya Jama, David Tennant, Davina McCall and many others. There’ll also be a cast reunion of BBC satire W1A, as the staff try to find a replacement for Henry. Hollie Richardson
Ted
9pm, Sky Max
It’s Christmas in the Bennett household and, for once, the teenager who talks to his Ted (voiced by creator Seth MacFarlane) isn’t the most childish family member. That accolade goes instead to dad Matty (Scott Grimes), as he throws temper tantrums and plays with a toy dump-truck to save it from a church charity sale. Ellen E Jones
The Last Leg
10pm, Channel 4
Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker – AKA Masked Singer finalist Bigfoot – return for another edition of the interactive topical revue jam-packed with satire and silliness. Among the guests helping to make sense of the week’s stories are ex-Spice Girl Mel B and former Radio 4 News Quiz host Miles Jupp. Graeme Virtue
10pm, Sky Max
The footie-focused revival hosted by Matt Lucas, Elis James and Andrew Mensah scored a minor coup recently by getting Arsenal diehard Keir Starmer on the couch (he admitted he wouldn’t like to see his club bought by Rishi Sunak). This week, the celebrity managers include England cricketer turned football pundit Stuart Broad. GV
Comic Relief: A Whole Lotta Lenny
10.40pm, BBC One
Lenny Henry has been hosting Comic Relief for nearly 40 years, and as he hands the comedy baton over to new stars, Alex Jones hosts a retrospective. The One Show viewers have chosen his greatest moments, including being Romeo to Frank Bruno’s Juliet after many hours spent impersonating the charmingly good sport. Hannah Verdier
How to With John Wilson
11.15pm, BBC Two
Another absurd but totally genius look at the world through the anxious New Yorker’s eyes. Only Wilson can take an episode that ostensibly focuses on how people work out to a cat show where a cat photographer takes his “before and after” photos. The second lesson in the double bill: how to watch the game. HR

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) (Sam Wrench, 2023), Disney+
On its theatrical release last year, this quickly became the bestselling concert film of all time (knocking Bieber into second place), and gave a much-needed boost to cinemas. But in a career as phenomenally successful as Swift’s, that’s par for the course. This streaming release adds five bonus songs from her 2023 concerts in California, and captures all the sparkle and splendour of the show – from intimate closeup to widescreen pizzazz – with multiple costume changes, a wealth of visual effects, slick choreography and, of course, plenty of the engaging Tay Tay.
