Somebody Somewhere

9pm, Sky Comedy

It’s a touching season finale for Bridget Everett’s beautiful comedy-drama: first Sam attends her beloved singing teacher’s funeral, then it’s time for Fred’s wedding day. Thankfully, she’s now made up with Joel, so the pair get through both big moments with lots of love, humour and homemade martinis – and just watching such a friendship navigate life’s storms is what makes this show feel so special.

Africa Rising With Afua Hirsch

9pm, BBC Two

Hirsch, who is excellent at explaining on camera the cultural significance of what she experiences, ends her African tour among the youthful population of South Africa. In music, art, dance and even surfing, “ekasi” – township cool – is shaking the scene up with glorious results. Jack Seale

White House Plumbers

9pm, Sky Atlantic

“There are a couple of things we need to sort out, pronto!” As this middling mini-series bows out, Justin Theroux’s G Gordon Liddy is desperate to worm his way out of Watergate, while newly bereaved E Howard Hunt (Woody Harrelson, whose jaw seems to be doing most of the acting) is close to breaking point.

A Black Lady Sketch Show

9.40pm, Sky Comedy

This comedy bounces through its usual diverse selection of skits. From a Bridgerton-esque spoof that devolves into an odd fashion show to a masturbation-based horror sketch seemingly there to include as many onanistic puns as possible. “Wank-anda forever!” Alexi Duggins
