The Graham Norton Show (BBC One, 10.35pm)
It’s a truly stellar lineup tonight, with some Irish interest thrown in for good measure.

Rounding out the guest list is Jane Fonda and comedian Matt Lucas. As a bonus, Niall Horan is in the house with his latest single Too Much to Ask. Not bad at all.

Prisoners (Tv3, 9pm)
Two young girls go missing in Pennsylvania over the Thanksgiving holidays, and suspicion initially falls on Alex Jones, a young man with apparent learning difficulties, who was spotted near the children’s last known location.

Thriller, starring Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal and Paul Dano.
Everyone's talking about: Peaky Blinders is removing The Weinstein Company from its credits
As The Hollywood Reporter explained today, The Weinstein Company has a credit at the end of the show because of a deal it brokered which allowed Netflix to run it in the US, even though they have never been involved in production:
The Netflix series is removing a production card for The Weinstein Co. in the wake of the scandal facing the company's now-former co-chairman, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
While not credited as a producer on the drama, TWC brokered the deal for Netflix to carry the show in the U.S., which is why a presentation card for TWC appeared on the series.
It seems like every few hours there is another development in the scandal, the latest being Emma Thompson's blistering TV interview on the BBC last night.
