Pick of the night: Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2010, Channel 4, 9.30pm.

Jimmy Carr pits teams of celebrities including Jonathan Ross, Ruth Jones, Alan Carr, Noel Fielding, Michael McIntyre and Richard Ayoade against each other in a bid to find out who can remember the most about the year just gone. Famous faces and some of 2010's most unlikely headline grabbers are on hand to ask questions.

Topics under the comedy microscope are the instrument that caused controversy at the football World Cup, Gordon Brown's faux pas in General Election week, and Mary Bale, who became Britain's most hated woman when she put more than just rubbish in a bin.

Movie pick: The Interpreter, UTV, 12am.

A US federal agent (Penn) investigates a UN translator's (Kidman) claim that she has stumbled on a plot to assassinate an African head of state. However, as he digs deeper into her past, he finds reasons to suspect that there is more to the situation than meets the eye.
