The Penguin
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Despite his flightless bird nickname, wannabe Gotham kingpin Oz Cobb (a barnstorming Colin Farrell) has spent the entire run of this Batman spin-off winging it. With the aid of his loyal young lieutenant Vic (Rhenzy Feliz), this sleazily charismatic opportunist has somehow survived to the endgame, leaving a pile of corpses in his wake. But as the season finale begins, Oz’s ruthless former ally Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti) appears to hold all the cards. Graeme Virtue

For a while now, it’s been clear that so-called smart meters, used to measure how much gas and electric a household uses, aren’t quite so smart after all.

Theresa May, Cherie Blair and Emma Barnett are some of the campaigners who contribute. HR
Alma’s Not Normal
10pm, BBC Two
The queen of Bolton takes a final bow, as Sophie Willan has confirmed the show won’t return for a third series. But what a fabulous farewell it is for one of the best British comedies in years. After the death of grandma Joan, Alma takes Jim’s advice: “Write it. Perform it. Get it out.” And when she does, there’s a BBC producer in the audience … HR
The Franchise
10pm, Sky Comedy
This comedy feels competent rather than inspired and therefore does a disconcertingly good job of embodying the thing it is satirising – a middlebrow, slightly generic drama with no strong reason to exist.
