Here’s the most appealing options on this potentially very wet Sunday 23 February…

Bridge of Spies – Film 4 – 6.10pm

A very strong ‘Sunday on the couch’ opportunity here.

Jurassic World – ITV2 – 6.35pm

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard run afoul of dinosaurs.

Home Alone – E4 – 6.50pm

The original. In February. Because it’s not just for Christmas, apparently.

Sean Connery’s second outing as James Bond.

Gone Girl – Film 4 – 9pm

David Fincher’s pitch-black thriller will turn you off the idea of marriage forever. Unless, of course, you’re already locked in. In which case, best of luck?

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes – E4 – 9pm

The second of the recent trilogy and the best by some distance.

The Invention of Lying – SyFy – 9pm

Ricky Gervais writes, directs and stars in a dramedy where he becomes the first human being with the ability to lie in a world that only knows how to tell the truth.

The Outlaw Josey Wales – ITV4 – 10pm

Clint Eastwood is out for righteous revenge in an iconic Western.

Allied – Channel 4 – 11pm
