On a busy Saturday there's the final of Strictly Come Dancing, Michael McIntyre's 25th Year Stand-Up Special, Wham!: Last Christmas Unwrapped, and Dame Maggie Smith: A Celebration . . .

Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman (below, right and left) host this year’s Strictly final, which sees Sarah and Vito, Tasha and Aljaz, JB and Lauren, and Chris and Dianne perform a dance chosen by the judges, their showdance and their favourite routine.
The people with the paddles - Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke - will critique each performance, but it will be up to UK viewers to determine who will be taking the glitterball from last year's winner Ellie Leach.
The professionals join Raye for a performance, and the cast of 2024 return to the dancefloor for one last routine.

Dame Maggie Smith: A Celebration, 8.35pm, UTV
Here’s a tribute to the celebrated and enigmatic actress Maggie Smith (below), with her life story told by those who knew her best, celebrating her much-loved appearances across film and TV spanning almost 70 years.
Smith, who died in September of this year, had gained a new level of popularity playing the razor-tongued Lady Violet Crawley in Downton Abbey, but for all her success, remained a very private person who had little time for the trappings that came with fame.
The film tells the story of a girl born in pre-war Essex who, against the odds, took Broadway and the West End by storm before eventually becoming one of the world's most popular and respected performers.
