Late Night Mash
10pm, Dave
This witty topical comedy show has been consistently excellent despite hopping channels and hosts. Now fronted by the lively Rachel Parris, it’s hard to imagine it going off its game any time soon, given that we’re living in an age when many news headlines already border on dark comedy.

Wind River (Taylor Sheridan, 2017), 11.35pm, Film4
In between Marvel assignments, Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner teamed up for Taylor Sheridan’s atmospheric crime drama. She is the FBI agent sent to a Native American reservation in Wyoming in the depths of winter after a teenage girl’s frozen corpse is discovered. He is the US Fish and Wildlife service agent who uses his local knowledge to help her investigate the case. The landscape is as much of a character as the people shaped by its beauty, isolation and unforgiving nature, while the two leads give emotional width to a compelling police procedural.
