Rik Mayall: Lord of Misrule, 9.00pm, BBC Four
Comedian and actor Rik Mayall (below, second left, in The Young Ones) died suddenly in June 2014, but left a body of work that spanned four decades and was a blend of rocket-fuelled physical comedy, surrealism, subversive satire and pompous punk wit.

Narrated by Simon Callow, this documentary celebrates Mayall's part in British comedy, with contributions by Michael Palin, Simon Pegg, Lenny Henry, Ben Elton, Alexei Sayle, Christopher Ryan, Tim McInnerny, Jools Holland, Ruby Wax and Greg Davies.
