It’s Thursday.

We’re waist deep in the working week and waiting for the weekend.

But boy, have we had a week to remember so far. First of all, who in their right mind serves Weetabix with beans?

We’ve also had the true joy of watching one of the funniest videos of the year so far… multiple times.

But then, how could we forget about the iconic Jackie Weaver, who emerged into the public eye less than seven days ago. Say what you want, but she had no authority.

Here are the best movies on TV later today.

Central Intelligence – Film4 – 6.50pm

Basically an old fashioned buddy comedy movie with The Rock and Kevin Hart.

Planet of the Apes – ITV4 – 9pm

A space detour lands Mark Wahlberg, an astronaut, on a planet where talking apes rule over a planet of humans.

Bridget Jones’ Diary – Comedy Central – 9pm

The first in the well-loved rom-com series, starring Renee Zellweger as a British writer who must choose whether to fall in love with Hugh Grant or Colin Firth.

Hunter Killer – Film4 – 9pm

An American submarine captain and a group of US Navy Seals take it upon themselves to rescue a kidnapped Russian President.

As mentioned before, Gerard Butler tends to do multiple bad films for every good one. You can decide which category this falls in.

About a Boy – Comedy Central – 11pm

The second Hugh Grant movie this evening sees a young Nicholas Hoult have a profound effect on his life.

Payback – ITV4 – 11.25pm

Mel Gibson is betrayed after a successful heist and must bide his time as he waits for his revenge payback.
