Black Ops
9.30pm, BBC One
Like Ghosts and The Cleaner before it, here’s a hoot of a new series to unwind with in the Friday night half-hour comedy slot. It’s created by Gbemisola Ikumelo and Akemnji Ndifornyen, who also star as Dom and Tevin – bored police community support officers who are asked by Detective Inspector Clinton Blair (Ariyon Bakare) to take on a high-stakes secret mission.

HM the King’s Coronation: The Eve of the Coronation
7pm, BBC One
Coronation quiche at the ready – the event takes place on Saturday. Ahead of that, Kirsty Young, Sophie Raworth and JJ Chalmers will speak to a lot of random people about the celebrations, which will include one of the biggest military parades in living memory. HR
Fanny: The Right to Rock
9pm, BBC Four
“One of the most important bands of American rock has been buried without a trace.” So said David Bowie about Fanny – the 1970s California rock group co-founded by Filipina-Americans the Millington sisters. In this feature documentary, the first all-female band to release an LP with a major record label reunite after 50 years. HR
Bel-Air
9pm, Sky Max
The reboot about that West Philly kid whose life got comprehensively “flipped, turned upside down” is back for a second season. After falling out with his dad, Will refuses Uncle Phil’s help and plans to strike out fully on his own – ideally as a basketball pro. Meanwhile, Ashley wants him home for her 13th birthday. Ali Catterall
Christian
9pm, Sky Atlantic
The unusual Italian drama – a low-rise gangster story and fable about religious cultdom, wrapped around each other – concludes its second season with a double bill in which Christian (Edoardo Pesce) is assailed on all sides. The direction, constantly finding beautiful shapes in grim urbanity, is exceptional. Jack Seale
Wrexham: Hollywood or Bust!
10pm, BBC Two
This is basically a documentary about a documentary. Hinged on the Disney+ series about Wrexham AFC’s takeover by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, it claims that the club’s history is interesting, regardless of Welcome to Wrexham. Never mind that without the US series this BBC show probably wouldn’t exist. Alexi Duggins
Film choice
Rye Lane (Raine Allen-Miller, 2023), Disney+
Raine Allen-Miller’s romcom is a sweet-natured, funny tale of a couple getting to know each other over the course of a day – like a British version of Before Sunrise. It’s also a love letter to south London, specifically Peckham and Brixton. Accountant Dom (Industry’s David Jonsson) is still moping three months after a breakup. At an art show he meets costume designer Yas (Vivian Oparah), and the pair find themselves walking and talking around the neighbourhood. The joy of the film is largely in the street life they encounter, from old folk doing tai chi in the park to kids dodging pigeons. But there’s also believable drama, as revelations tug at their growing mutual attraction. Simon Wardell
