The new James Bond film may have been delayed for (00)7 months due to coronavirus concerns, but we’ll always have a handful of choices on the television, right?

Right.

Here’s the best around on Thursday 5 March…

Now You See Me – Film 4 – 6.45pm

Magic.

Goldfinger – ITV4 – 9pm

Will this Bond classic suffice? Perhaps.

Payback – TCM – 9pm

Mel Gibson is double-crossed by his criminal underworld colleagues. Cue revenge.

My Friend Dahmer – Film 4 – 9pm

Biographical drama based on the formative years of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

30 Days of Night – SyFy – 10pm

Sharp stylised horror as Josh Hartnett struggles to defend a small town from a ruthless vampire invasion under a month-long cover of darkness.

Die Hard 2 – Film 4 – 11.10pm

Not as good as the first or third ones but arguably a touch underrated.

Wanted – ITV4 – 11.15pm

James McAvoy trades the nine-to-five grind for elaborate assassination techniques.

Kill Your Friends – Film 4 – 1.35am

Nicholas Hoult climbs the music industry ladder as a soulless scumbag in a film that tries very hard to be American Psycho while forgetting about nuance and irony.
