Yahoo News TV tonight: More on-air tirades and faux pas from Alan Partridge
This Time With Alan Partridge
9.30pm, BBC One
Steve Coogan’s beloved and bumbling broadcaster Alan Partridge returns for another spoof of sedate magazine shows such as The One Show and This Morning. Accompanied by eternally patient fellow host Jennie Gresham (Susannah Fielding), the second season follows Partridge as he is now established as the show’s co-presenter but is battling behind the scenes to keep his spot amid controversies surrounding his stream of on-air tirades and faux pas.

It’s squeaky-bum time in the search for a new classical star, as the category winners – in strings, percussion, woodwind, brass and keyboards – face off in a 90-minute semi-final festival of twiddly excellence, delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Only three can go through to the grand final. Jack Seale

Britain’s Favourite 80s Songs
10pm, Channel 5
Friday night has long been retro music night on television. This series has suggested that Channel 5 might be preparing to colonise the soon-to-be-vacated territory of BBC Four. Expect Kylie and Jason, Belinda Carlisle, Bros and, perhaps, a few hints of the emergent acid house scene. Phil Harrison
