Channel 4's latest bid to save British pubs involves letting comedian Joe Lycett run one, live on air, every Friday for an hour. The Lycett Arms, an East End boozer, will welcome celebrity managers, guests, and regulars, but the only thing guaranteed is chaos - Lycett failed the exam needed to get an alcohol licence and has already taken to Instagram to beg for help. Let the anarchy commence.

Elsewhere on the box, BBC Four at 7pm features the American conductor who got a namecheck in Tár, discussing her historic 2013 stint as the first female conductor to lead the Last Night of the Proms, and her favourite moment this season: pianist Yunchan Lim's opening-night rendition of Ravel's Piano Concerto.

Over on U&Drama at 8pm, boomer Allie (Brooke Shields) and gen Z Andi (Amalia Williamson) are back for another murder mystery. When a car dealer turns up dead in his garden, the duo spot eerie parallels to a murder from Allie's debut novel - could this be a case of life imitating art? Or just another corpse for the pile?

BBC Two at 9pm wraps up its two-part mystery, and things are getting properly hairy for a cosy crime show. A murder seems inevitable unless the team intervenes, so Tanika takes a gamble by enlisting civilian advisers. Will they be too late? (Spoiler: probably, but tune in anyway.)

ITV1 at 9pm offers Milo Callaghan, not just a dead ringer for Matt Damon, but also a capable lead in this US legal drama. This week, Rudy uncovers dodgy evidence in a wrongful death suit before facing off against his old boss Leo (John Slattery) in court.

Sky One at 12.15am brings the absurdity: useless nepo baby Otis is strong-armed into the police force by the mayor, prompting a horrified Flute (Jon Hamm) to devise increasingly extreme plots to crush a rich kid's dreams. Meanwhile, a cold-ridden Harmony overdoes it on Marvin's special cough syrup and starts seeing her son's imaginary skeleton friend, Mr Flesh (Alan Tudyk). Because of course she does.

Later, at 11.05pm on BBC Two, Harvest (Athina Rachel Tsangari, 2024) adapts Jim Crace's novel with a 1970s folk-horror aesthetic - complete with Wicker Man-style masks and rituals - but the true horror is economic. In a Scottish village, Master Kent (Harry Melling) rules over his workers, including former servant Walter (Caleb Landry Jones), until Kent's cousin (Frank Dillane) arrives to enclose common land for sheep. The result is a brooding, earthy tragedy about power and blame.

And for sports fans, the Women's Super League kicks off at 6pm on Sky One as London City host Man United, with two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas among the new signings. Because nothing says 'saving pubs' like football, right?
