100 Foot Wave
10.45pm, Sky Documentaries
An alternative to Friday night’s usual schedule of chat and panel shows, here’s the opener of a six-part documentary about a surfer who, after spending more than a decade chasing a 100ft wave, continued to push surfing to even greater heights. Helmed by film-maker Chris Smith – director of Fyre and co-producer of Tiger King – the film intimately captures how Garrett McNamara helped to transform the small Portuguese fishing village of Nazaré into one of the world’s greatest big-wave surf destinations. Radical. Hollie Richardson
Young Rock
8pm, Sky Comedy
It’s the comedy that sees Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson running for US president in 2032 (and, frankly, why not?). Tonight, he flashes back to Miami 1990, as a college freshman attempting to resurrect a promising college American football career after a devastating injury. But is passion and stamina enough to carry him all the way to the NFL? Ali Catterall
Cobra: Cyberwar
9pm, Sky Max
The entertainingly melodramatic thriller, starring Robert Carlyle as a permanently beleaguered prime minister, reaches its penultimate episode. Another cyber-attack raises a troubling possibility: is Britain now at war with Russia and China? Suddenly, nothing seems out of the question. Elsewhere, Rachel’s reputation continues to plummet. Phil Harrison
The Last Leg
10pm, Channel 4
This week’s guests are Jodie Whittaker, serving out her final term as the Doctor, and the standup comedian Darren Harriott, recently seen in British as Folk. The Leggers will cast a satirical eye over this week’s shenanigans, so expect chat on Cop26 and whatever other inanities the government has inflicted on us this week. AC
The Graham Norton Show
10.35pm, BBC One
Lady Gaga and Adam Driver – stars of much-hyped House of Gucci – join Graham, alongside Frozen star Josh Gad (he’s voicing a new Olaf series) and TV cook Nadiya Hussain. Rod Stewart also performs his new single (yep, he’s still at it). HR
The Big Narstie Show
11.05pm, Channel 4
Big Narstie and Mo Gilligan’s anarchic, Bafta-winning chatshow, peppered with comedy, music and the odd “wait, what?” moment continues. Tonight’s guests: Patrice Evra, Harry Redknapp, rapper Big Zuu and pop star Raye. Hannah J Davies

Lioness: The Nicola Adams story (Helena Coan, 2021), Amazon Prime Video
Although women’s boxing is now an accepted part of the sporting world (at least on the amateur side), the story of Olympic champion Nicola Adams shows how hard won that success has been. Helena Coan’s bruising documentary highlights Jane Crouch’s attempts in the 90s to normalise female participation, a baton that passed to a gutsy girl from Leeds with ADHD and a violent father (he denies the allegation), who overcame pig-headed resistance to equality from gyms, the media and the boxing authorities. How she still came up smiling is a wonder to witness. Simon Wardell
