Apocalypse Wow
10pm, ITV2
A new week, a new gameshow. Yet it’s not often a format is designed to be so chaotic that it challenges the very notion of what makes a gameshow. Such is the world of Apocalypse Wow. Billed as a “part-BDSM dungeon, part Fight Club”, host AJ Odudu and “Mistress” Donna Preston oversee groups of celebrities who go up against a series of Bosses each week – including the likes of gravy wrestler Hot Slippy Jesus and Master Enormo, apparently one of the world’s strongest men. A Mad Max-meets-Gladiators contest. Ammar Kalia
Scotland: A Year in the Wild
7pm, Channel 5
In late January, an uncommonly warm winter is proving a benefit and a setback for the wildlife.

Celebrity Gogglebox
9pm, Channel 4
Spending Friday nights watching TV with celebrities is becoming a thing of joy. From the obvious baffled delights of Shaun and Bez to the family dynamics of Martin and Roman Kemp, with a welcome injection of fresh charm from MNEK and Olly Alexander, Celebrity Gogglebox is a reliable staple.

Drain the Ocean: D-Day Revealed
9pm, Channel 5

Falling (Viggo Mortensen, 2020) 10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Taking a bold swipe at two major issues – dementia and homophobia – Viggo Mortensen’s powerful directorial debut stars Lance Henriksen as an elderly father forced to move in with his gay son. Inevitably, there’s no upside for anyone in this quietly devastating story of family pain. Damon Wise
