It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday.

We have some breaking news.

So we’ve established it’s Friday, 1 May, the only thing left to do is have a look at the movies on TV this evening.

Back to the Future Part III – Film4 – 4.45pm

A bit of fun.

Spy – E4 – 9pm

A really, really funny spy spoof starring Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne and a few others.

Paul – ITV2 – 9pm

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost go to Area 51.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service – ITV4 – 9pm

This gets an unfair rap. It’s certainly not the worst Bond movie ever made and I’d argue there’s at least 10 worse than it.

Taken 3 – Film4 – 9pm

Seriously, is no one thinking that at some point he’s just a bad father?

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates – RTÉ2 – 9.45pm

Two brothers look for dates for their sister’s wedding. Once again, Zac Efron is very muscly.

Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son – Virgin Media One – 10pm

First one was cute. Second one was regrettable. Third was unforgivable.

The latter two movies have a combined 11% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Magnificent Seven – TG4 – 10.15pm

1960s western which is well worth watching.

The Full Monty – BBC One – 10.45pm

Charming and relatable. Robert Carlyle and Mark Addy are brilliant.

Oranges and Sunshine – BBC Two – 11.20pm

Emily Watson plays a social worker who uncovers a terrible scheme involving British children.
