WHAT can't you miss on TV tonight? Our guide to the must-see shows...
LIVE! Match of the Day: The FA Cup West Ham vs Man City, 7.30pm, BBC One
It remains controversial among fans and it still does feel slightly strange settling down on a Friday night to watch football, but you can’t deny getting a thrill when it’s a game that’s as tasty as this.
The third round of the world’s oldest cup competition is where the big guns join in, and this has thrown up what could be a titanic battle, filled with history (the two clubs first met back in 1924, when City won 2-1).
On current form we should be pretty much guaranteed goals too, when Slaven Bilic’s West Ham side welcome Pep Guardiola’s (above) City to the London Stadium, as both teams have let in more goals than they would have liked during tricky starts in the League. Which is exactly why they’ll want a good Cup run.
This should be fun…
NEW! The Big soap Quiz: Coronation Street vs Emmerdale, 9pm, ITV
Emmerdale defend their title against Coronation Street in this fun annual ‘soap-off’.
Teams led by Mark Charnock (Marlon Dingle) and Jack P Shepherd (David Platt, second right) answer questions on last year’s big soap plots.
We’re expecting Jack to be very clued up about the discovery of Callum’s body and Kylie’s subsequent demise.
NEW! Lip Sync Battle UK: Danny Dyer vs Craig Revel Horwood, 10pm, Channel 5
It’s a fight the Queen Vic could only dream of – but this is really happening.
EastEnders’ Danny Dyer (above) takes on Strictly’s Craig Revel Horwood(did this pairing come out of a random celebrity-name generator?).
We’re not complaining, though – Danny’s Kasabian effort and Craig’s Total Eclipse Of The Heart is pure TV gold.
NEW! The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes, 9pm, BBC Two
Caroline Quentin (left) travels the globe with architect Piers Taylor (right) to see some of the most weird and wonderful houses ever built, beginning with a Californian mountain-top home made out of an old 747 aeroplane, before heading off to New Zealand and the Alps.
The homes are fun, as is the relationship between the hosts.
