The Young Offenders<\/p>\n
9.30pm, BBC One
A fifth season of Peter Foott\u2019s Cork-set comedy opens with Jock (Chris Walley) breaking out of a Colombian prison and reuniting with Conor (Alex Murphy) back on home turf. But, as they head on the run from the Garda together, the twosome find themselves in a hostage situation with an elderly couple, while wearing floral dresses. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n
7.30pm, BBC One
The unsung hero recognised in this week\u2019s portraiture show is Eddie, the \u201cIron Gran\u201d, who did her first marathon in her 50s, learned to swim at 60, and, at 72, became the oldest British woman to complete an Ironman triathlon. Artist Caroline Pool takes on the challenge \u2013 but will she depict Eddie\u2019s fun-loving energy, or her more reflective side? Alexi Duggins<\/p>\n
Beyond Paradise<\/p>\n
8pm, BBC One
Someone in Shipton Abbott is committing burglaries, then returning to clean up the mess: a typically low-stakes mystery for Humphrey (Kris Marshall) to unravel by the Devon seaside. The episode is more concerned with soapy storylines \u2013 such as Humphrey and Martha (Sally Bretton) as foster parents. Jack Seale<\/p>\n

9pm, Sky One
The cheeky chappy comedian takes us on a stream-of-consciousness journey through poshness, parenting and pubes. It\u2019s relatable stuff for the over-40s \u2013 Beckett knows what he can get away with, often pushing the envelope further than you thought he would. And no one is safe in his audience.

The Last Leg<\/p>\n
10pm, Channel 4
Part comedy, part satire, part live audience spectacle, The Last Leg is now in its 34th series. This is a testament to the chemistry of presenters Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker, who this week invite guests Josh Pugh, Lorraine Kelly and Steve Bracknall. Phil Harrison<\/p>\n
The Claudia Winkleman Show<\/p>\n
10.30pm, BBC One

Perhaps the greatest of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s six (and counting) collaborations, this financial crime caper is based on the memoir of large-living New York City stockbroker Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio). We follow Belfort\u2019s rise and fall through the Black Monday crash and the 1990s boiler room boom, but there is also time for memorable turns from a magnetic Matthew McConaughey as his mentor, and Margot Robbie in her breakthrough role as the seductive second wife. Just don\u2019t be tempted to down a tequila shot for every f-bomb: in 2014, it set a Guinness World Record for the most swearing in one film, with \u201cthe same f-word expletive used 506 times\u201d.

Dumb Money (Craig Gillespie, 2023), Paramount+
\u201cDumb Money\u201d is the nickname used by Wall Street bros to describe inexperienced investors. Or at least it was, until the GameStop short squeeze of January 2021, when the dumb money suddenly got smart. This film dramatises those events, with a Big Short-esque feel for explanatory visual analogies and an inexplicable fondness for cat memes. Paul Dano heads up a large ensemble cast as the real-life Reddit-based \u201clittle guy\u201d who started the whole thing, while Seth Rogen plays enjoyably against type as the heartless hedgie determined to bring him down.
