Black Snow

9pm, BBC Four

The twisty Aussie crime series about the cold-case investigation of the murder of 17-year-old Isabel in a remote town returns with another double bill. Charismatic detective James Cormack continues to interview the class of 1994 kids from Isabel’s old school – some are clearly telling fibs, while others have no alibi. Then, vital evidence about a local mill owner comes to light. Hollie Richardson

Alan Carr’s Picture Slam

5.35pm, BBC One

This strangely inert shiny-floor show continues to intersperse double entendre-strewn banter with the task of identifying pictures and video clips under pressure. Carr can do this stuff in his sleep but the game itself could do with more variety, notwithstanding the decent cash prizes on offer. Phil Harrison

Strictly Come Dancing

6.20pm, BBC One

Jaws dropped over what 78-year-old Angela Rippon did with her ludicrously limber left leg last week. But poor Les Dennis’s stiff turn as a waiter in a cocktail bar only earned him two points from Craig Revel Horwood. Ahead of Sunday’s elimination – the first in the competition – it’s time to see their second attempts. HR

A Royal Guide to: Animals

7.35pm, Channel 4

This week’s excuse for a regal clipfest focuses on the Windsors’ furry, feathery and four-legged friends, starting with the late Queen’s corgis and the family’s stable of top-class racehorses. There’s also a guide to the royal menagerie, which was founded in the 13th century and once housed a polar bear. Jack Seale

Blankety Blank

9.35pm, BBC One

Tune in for contestant Brian this week, as the 76-year-old lollipop man and West Brom supporter dons a salmon pink suit. He’s delighted to meet his football hero Jill Scott, but will she be able to help him win big money? Anthea Turner, Rob Beckett and Layton Williams are also there to fill in the blanks. HR

Bali 2002

10.45pm, ITV1

The sombre drama about the terror bombings in Bali that killed 202 tourists and local people reaches its conclusion. Survivors Polly and Ni Luh are still struggling with post-traumatic stress while dogged Australian cop Ashton remains one step behind the ringleader. Graeme Virtue

Boiling Point, 9pm, Film4

A day before its TV sequel premieres on BBC One, here’s a chance to see Philip Barantini’s 2021 feature. It’s a bravura one-shot drama, tense to the point of combustion, centring on restaurant head chef Andy (an exceptional Stephen Graham). His problems come to a head during one shift, with his deputy Carly (Vinette Robinson) barely holding things together as Andy’s mistakes – along with those made by other staff and customers – threaten disaster. Comparisons with The Bear are inevitable, but this British original really holds its own. Simon Wardell
