Late Night Lycett
10pm, Channel 4
Joe Lycett knows how to throw a TV party – and this time, it’s going to be a weekly “(controlled) late-night chaos” event. Live from his home city of Birmingham, the comedian kicks things off by celebrating some local heroes, rinsing the week’s headlines, inviting some celebrity mates over (Alison Hammond, Katherine Ryan and Joanna Lumley) and even giving away his possessions to the audience – including, as he announced on Twitter earlier this week, his Lexus hybrid.

Gardeners’ World
8pm, BBC Two
Is that the sun finally making an appearance? It’s time to get green-fingered again. Embracing spring, Adam Frost plants his potatoes, Rekha Mistry takes a shot at growing cotton and Joe Swift meets a garden designer who adjoins his two plots. Plenty of inspiration, then. HR
Redemption
9pm, ITV
The Irish crime saga inches forwards unconvincingly, with DI Cunningham (Paula Malcomson) confirming that her daughter’s apparent suicide had links to organised crime and the black market in prescription drugs. Considering the subject matter, the lack of dramatic urgency is bewildering. Jack Seale
Beyond Paradise
8pm, BBC One
Temperatures soar this week, as firefighters attend a midnight barn blaze. With Lucas Fairly’s outbuilding burned to a cinder, suspicions switch from accident to arson: the apparent handiwork of a prolific pyromaniac. A boat-shed break-in – reported by serial caller Floella Jones (Marcia Warren) – provides police with answers. Danielle De Wolfe
Drift: Partners in Crime
9pm, Sky Atlantic
More globe-spanning action thrills, German-style, as bickering brothers Ali and Leo pair up against a bottomless conspiracy (think The Bourne Identity meets Planes, Trains and Autobahns). This week’s double episode drops them in Greece, on the trail of a missing weapons container. Ali Catterall
The Cleaner
9.30pm, BBC One
“Rocky? Was that not a play?” With his next job taking him to a playhouse (cleaning up the aftermath of a mass brawl at a male strip show), Wicky (Greg Davies) takes an interest in the theatre after realising he’s never been to one. Could he prove to have the skills for the next showing of The Donkey Boyz? HR

Kill Boksoon (Byun Sung-hyun, 2023), Netflix
It can be hard raising a teenage girl, and when your secret day job is as a professional assassin it must be doubly so. In Byun Sung-hyun’s bubbly martial arts actioner, Jeon Do-yeon’s Gil Bok-soon is the best in the business (she brings an axe to a samurai swordfight and survives) – but in South Korea it actually is a business, with offices, training programmes and company rules to follow. Workplace politics jostles for space with bloody deaths, while Gil’s daughter has her own hidden life that complicates matters. Despite Jeon’s impressive froideur, chaos descends. Simon Wardell
