Gary Lineker\u2019s latest gig involves chuckling from a tower as Z-listers stumble around a disused car park to find tokens. Graeme Souness, Shakira Khan and JB Gill are among the celebrities playing mundane games \u2013 egg-and-spoon races, rock-paper-scissors \u2013 with minor twists. The fun is in the team bonding: Joey Essex asking John Bercow if he\u2019s feeling reem is surprisingly pleasing. Phil Harrison<\/p>\n
Celebrating Disney at the Proms: The Music of Menken<\/p>\n
5.30pm, BBC Two<\/p>\n
Be Our Guest! Friend Like Me! Part of Your World! It\u2019s a night of Disney bangers at the Royal Albert Hall, as an ode to the man behind the music, Alan Menken. The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra will be joined by special guests and the National Youth Music Theatre to create the magic. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n
Alan Carr\u2019s Celebrity Picture Slam<\/p>\n
6.20pm, BBC One<\/p>\n
Gareth Malone may be able to spot a bum note at 50 paces, but can he spot the answers in Carr\u2019s picture puzzles? The choirmaster pairs up with Steph McGovern to battle Will Best and Fleur East, plus standup Ellie Taylor and Derry Girls\u2019 Jamie-Lee O\u2019Donnell \u2013 all vying to bank \u00a310,000 for their chosen charities.

Casualty: 40th Anniversary<\/p>\n
8pm, BBC One<\/p>\n
This hardy medical drama has surprisingly polemical roots, beginning its long life as a defence of the NHS in the face of Thatcherism. It ruffles fewer feathers in middle age but, even so, this birthday special is a furious affair as a firebombing in Holby means a frantic, eventually devastating night in A&E. PH<\/p>\n

A church burns, artily, in a dark wood \u2013 the veteran Swedish sleuthing series is back. As the fiery death of a rock musician turned pastor disturbs a web of guilt and hidden loyalties, Alex (Jennie Silfverhjelm) conceals a personal link to the congregation that could banjax the investigation. Jack Seale<\/p>\n
Lorne<\/p>\n
9pm, Sky Documentaries<\/p>\n
Lorne Michaels is revered in US TV circles for creating Saturday Night Live in 1975. The producer is also fairly elusive \u2013 a fact this entertaining documentary is happy to lean into. Fortunately, there are plenty of big hitters to tell his story \u2013 Conan O\u2019Brien, Tina Fey, Chris Rock and Andy Samberg are among those testifying to his brilliance. PH<\/p>\n

With one of the best Star Wars series going feature-length, its biggest draw, \u201cBaby Yoda\u201d, rightly shares top billing with Pedro Pascal\u2019s perma-helmeted bounty hunter. Otherwise, it\u2019s business as usual for the grumpy Mando and his cute, Force-friendly ward as they get involved in a spot of Hutt family politics. Hired by the New Republic to track down a warlord still sympathetic to the old empire, they must deal with Jabba the Hutt\u2019s siblings, who want the return of their abducted nephew Rotta (Jeremy Allen White) in exchange for information. Featuring a bizarre cameo from Martin Scorsese as a multi-limbed food truck cook, Jon Favreau\u2019s sci-fi adventure is a light, lithe addition to the canon. Simon Wardell<\/p>\n
Mayday, out now, Apple TV<\/p>\n
Ryan Reynolds is always an easy watch, with his relatable (for a film star) charm and unforced gift for comedy. Both are leaned on heavily in John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein\u2019s cold war actioner, set in 1987. Reynolds plays fighter pilot Troy \u201cAssassin\u201d Kelly, whose spy plane is downed over the Soviet Union. Wounded and alone in a Siberian forest, he meets Nikolai (Kenneth Branagh), a Top Gun fan of Misery-like proportions but also, handily, a very disaffected KGB covert ops agent. Trains, planes and military automobiles all feature in an undemanding buddy caper. SW<\/p>\n
