It’s Thursday.

We know with everything that’s going on, it can be difficult to remain upbeat an positive at all times.

It’s not going to help things massively, but how about a little joke to potentially lighten the mood a little bit?

OK, what do you call a bear in the rain?

Skip below the adorable gif for the answer…

The answer is: A DRIZZLY BEAR!

Now that we’re all suitably relaxed, here’s a look at the movies on TV this evening.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows – Film4 – 6.45pm

Don’t even waste your time.

Casablanca – BBC Four – 8pm

A genuine classic in fairness.

Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman collide in the beloved World War II romantic drama that is still regularly hailed as one of the all-time great movies.

The Living Daylights – ITV4 – 9pm

Unpopular opinion, Timothy Dalton gets a hard time and his James Bond is one of the best.

Yes, he’s ruthless and intense, but that was probably needed after Roger Moore’s run. Dalton provides a more complex Bond, with a lot more nuance than Moore before him and if you look at the more recent films, Dalton’s efforts hold the most similarities to Daniel Craig’s popular portrayal.

Coming to America – Comedy Central – 9pm

Did someone say… Sexual Chocolate?

If you’ve had a hard week, this iconic Eddie Murphy comedy is guaranteed to provide some light relief.

The Heat – Film4 – 9pm

A buddy cop movie flipped on its head and the result is more than decent.

Scarface – ITV4 – 11.40pm

“SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!”

LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
