Black Ops
9.30pm, BBC One
Gbemisola Ikumelo and Hammed Animashaun are back as wannabe intelligence agents Dom and Kay in this likably silly sitcom.

Dog Day Afternoon (Sidney Lumet, 1975), 10.55am, Sky Cinema Greats
In 1975, Al Pacino reunited with his Godfather co-star John Cazale for Sidney Lumet’s fact-based crime drama. But their characters here are no Corleones; Sonny and Sal are amateurish armed robbers who hold up a Brooklyn bank (to get money for a sex-change operation for Sonny’s lover) but become trapped in a hostage situation. For the most part it’s a caper, as the bank’s staff get giddily caught up in Sonny’s plans and he exploits the media circus and excessive police operation that spring up around the siege.
