Tropic Thunder (BBC 1, 11.20pm)
Sometimes offensive, always funny. A group of Hollywood actors head to Vietnam to shoot a war film, Guerrilla style. When they’re set upon by local drug dealers, they begin to realise that these guys aren’t actors. The lead actor is captured, so the rest have to band together to save him using their ahem, limited, knowledge of war. Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr star.
Everyone is talking about… Netflix ads
Reports suggest that Netflix could be about to roll out ads that play before and after videos.
The streaming service is trialing the move with a select few subscribers. But will they be annoying ads, or Netflix ads?
A spokesperson told TechCrunch:
Our policy around ads is unchanged. We have no plans to support third-party ad units.
Now we wait.
Or flick over for…
