The Graham Norton Show

10.50pm, BBC One

Taking a break from awards season, Hollywood hotshots Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan lead the sofa this week to talk about Oscar-tipped biopic Maestro, while Bryan Cranston and Bryce Dallas Howard are on the promo tour for spy film Argyll.

Celebrity Mastermind

Would I Lie to You?

8pm, BBC One

Is Lee Mack studying watchmaking? Did Bono fix the flush on Kimberley Walsh’s toilet? Does David Mitchell clutch a tambourine while watching telly in case he falls asleep?

Gardeners’ World

8pm, BBC Two

The hardy perennial returns for 2024, but given that it is a pretty quiet time in the gardening calendar, this is the first of four compilation episodes revisiting previous seasonal highlights.

There is a Snoop Dogg cookbook. There are Snoop Dogg NFTs. You can go to a supermarket and buy a bottle of wine that has Snoop Dogg’s face on it. So it stands to reason that there is now a Snoop Dogg inspirational children’s sports comedy movie. In The Underdoggs, Dogg plays a former NFL player who, after a car crash, is forced to coach a youth football team as part of his community service. It’s The Longest Yard, but with children instead of prisoners and the man from the Just Eat adverts instead of Burt Reynolds. What could possibly go wrong? Stuart Heritage
