Downton Abbey – ITV3 – 8pm
The 2019 big screen version of the hit TV show, which itself went on to be a huge hit and loved by millions more. But might be impossible to understand if you’re not a fan of the period rom-dram in the first place.

The Change-Up – Comedy Central Extra – 10pm
Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman star in this crude body-swap comedy. Not nearly as funny as it should’ve been.
Molly’s Game – BBC Two – 11.15pm
Our pick of the night is Molly’s Game, an unbelievable true story that makes most Hollywood thrillers seem almost tame in comparison. Written and directed by Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, Steve Jobs), it tells the story of Molly Bloom (Jessica Chastain), an Olympic skiing hopeful who is severely injured during training. So she re-aims her career trajectory, setting up an underground poker empire attended by Hollywood celebrities, athletes, business tycoons… and the Russian Mob, which soon gets the attention of the FBI, meaning Molly now has to lawyer up (played by Idris Elba).
Molly’s Game is also available to watch on Netflix right now.
Four Weddings and a Funeral – FilmFour – 11.40pm
Hugh Grant headlines one of the most beloved rom-coms of all time.
