TX 9.30pm BBC2
A rare television outing for Eddie Izzard, the accomplished comedian whose free-flowing chat dispenses with jokes. In Je Suis a Stand Up: Eddie Izzard Abroad we accompany his current tour from Bexhill-on-Sea to New York. His hometown gig proves more of a success than Paris, where his decision to perform in his schoolboy French is, well, laughable. Eddie is engaging enough hanging out backstage in Scandinavia, doing interviews in Iceland and discussing his liking for women's clothing everywhere, but it's the tantalising glimpses of him on stage that count. Watch out for Pavlov's four-legged friends and Eddie's take on style - from his too-tight, shiny plastic trousers and lacy tops to his lime-green finger nails, he's got it.
