Top 10 Picks of the Day – Friday

After going back to his family roots in Jamaica and visiting Cuba and Barbados, the news presenter, reporter and Mastermind hosts travels 200 miles east of Havana to the historic town of Trinidad. There Myrie meets the octogenarian carpenter whose skills have contributed to keeping this 16th-century city standing, and learns how to salsa dance with the locals. He also explores the dark history of sugar. As ever, he’s charming, relaxed and has such a brilliant time he can’t stop grinning over every aspect of Caribbean life. JANE RACKHAM

When it comes to pop culture, has any decade had quite the same impact as the 1960s? Just think of what’s still marketable to modern audiences: Doctor Who, Marvel superheroes, Star Trek, even Coronation Street. And then of course there are the James Bond movies, the hero of which has remained suave and incorruptible despite the world around him changing seismically.

And it says something about the durability of Bond that a period whodunnit such as this can rename him Jonas Best and ape those 60s-era adventures, safe in the knowledge that viewers will be instantly aware of what is being lampooned.

Admittedly, this parody — which finds a murderer stalking the screen tests for the latest Agent Best flick — doesn’t go as full throttle as an Austin Powers film. But while Sister Boniface puzzles out which of the suspects has given themselves a licence to kill, there’s extra fun to be had spotting all the nods to Bond’s back catalogue. Fans of Ian Fleming’s spy will be in 00 heaven. DAVID BROWN

We’re getting towards the business end of the 2023—24 League Two season, and there’s just one question: can Wrexham, reborn under Hollywood owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, achieve automatic promotion, or will they face the terrifying play-offs? Fans and owners can barely look as the last few weeks loom, but one of the stars of this show is also a standout performer on the pitch when it matters… JACK SEALE

While Scotland face Finland (k/o 7.45pm BBC Scotland), England meet Iceland (7.45pm C4) – and with just a week to go until the 2024 Men’s European Championships, these last friendly matches offer fans a last chance to see how their teams have shaped up before the real business kicks off in Germany.

Will these games showcase hopefuls trying to impress before the final squads are announced or will they be full of nervous players terrified of injury? Even if it does turn out to be the latter, the England game should still be an entertaining spectacle for the neutral. Watching the visiting Icelandic fans practising their legendary roaring-clapping schtick is always fun. CERI THOMAS

This celebrity spin-off of the enduring entertainment show continues to earn its spot at the coffee table with a judicious blend of the old and new, veterans and newcomers, family pairings and best friends, alongside a smart selection of recent telly from the affecting or infuriating to thrilling or just plain silly. It reliably brings out the best in the famous faces while lifting the curtain, just a smidge, on their home lives.

Slumping on the sofa are long-time Gogglebox favourites, including Rylan Clark and his mum Linda, Chris Packham and stepdaughter Megan McCubbin, and Clare Balding and Alice Arnold. As always, however, there are a few newbies: the prospect of Jennifer Saunders and daughter Beattie Edmondson commentating on the week’s viewing is especially enticing. Expect tears and hilarity.

A double-bill rounds off a fourth series that felt as though it never quite got going. Jock (Chris Walley) is still holed up in a Colombian jail but manages to sneak a call to Conor (Alex Murphy). Their virtual chat — with Conor asking after the weather and beaches — is a highlight.

The reason behind their reunion is that it’s Star’s sixth birthday, and dad Jock is determined to be there — even if through a screen. Luckily for Máiréad (Hilary Rose), the escapade provides a distraction for Conor, as she’s hiding some news from him that would neatly set up a fifth run if it were to return. FRANCES TAYLOR

Dumebi is sitting and waiting in the foyer of a Dubai hotel expecting Mazi (the boyfriend she’s never met but has been speaking to for a year and a half) to make an appearance. He finally arrives 90 minutes later — bearing a bunch of flowers, a feeble apology and, somewhat inexplicably, his cousin in tow. Suffice it to say, it’s not the best start.

Matt and Maria are a new couple also taking the plunge. Matt can count on his fingers how many times he’s left Warrington, while the furthest he has ever been on his own is Manchester. How will he cope embarking on a 7,000-mile journey to meet the Filipino woman he’s fallen for? FRANCES TAYLOR

This Croatian-Ukrainian drama looks at the issue of human trafficking and is, inevitably, a bleak affair. It’s well constructed, however, with characters involving enough to make it more than watchable. A Croatian journalist forms an uneasy alliance with the police, while the Ukrainian wife of a politician hunts for her missing niece. In series two, Ukraine has been invaded by Russia, which upends everything. JACK SEALE
