Room 101
8.30pm, BBC1
Frank Skinner clears some space in a basement bulging with bugbears, as a fresh series of the comedy panel show beckons. Catherine Tate, Nigel Havers and TV presenter Rylan Clark-Neal offer pet peeves for Skinner’s Orwellian alcove; picks from the pissed-off participants include try-hard hipster restaurants, prearranged paparazzi shoots and – in a move that may well goad viewers into using a BBC bias hashtag or 10 – Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Tina & Bobby
9pm, ITV
“He’s a bit square.” Such is the assessment made by proto-Wag Tina Dean (Michelle Keegan) when she first spies future husband Bobby Moore (Lorne MacFadyen). Yes, but he’s also going to become a pop culture icon, so problem solved. The first episode of this three-part dramatisation covers courting, Moore’s appointment as England football captain and a hushed-up brush with cancer via some clunky dialogue, but it’s evocative and entertaining, too. Jonathan Wright
Not Going Out
9pm, BBC1
Lee Mack’s comedy has bounded forward seven years: Lee and Lucy now have three kids and a classic family sitcom set-up – stairs at the back, front door on the left, through-kitchen on the right – and jokes about how annoyed they are by each other’s habits. As they spar over who’s responsible for the lost romance, the relentless wisecracking style makes the ensuing screwball battle veer close to unpleasant bitterness. Still plenty of great gags, though. Jack Seale
Celebrity Big Brother: Live Eviction
9pm, Channel 5
Which of the less than sufferable housemates in this – CBB’s 19th run – will be first to get their marching orders? With a pop art theme doubtless intended to encourage colourful and dramatic explosion among the All Stars, there is bound to be friction and battle lines drawn. The overall thinness of the concept seems to be confirmed by the presence of celebrities whose celebrity now consists of having appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. David Stubbs
Sound of Musicals With Neil Brand
9pm, BBC4
This new three-parter charts the evolution of musical theatre, from Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein’s groundbreaking Show Boat in 1927 to contemporary global phenoms like Wicked. As well as shading in historical context, super-chill composer Brand casually sits at his piano to drill deep into standards such as Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin’, breaking down complex songwriting techniques in accessible fashion.

The Eighties
9pm, Sky Arts
It wasn’t all tousled hair, shoulder pads and keytars. Well, it was, but the 1980s was also a time of seismic shift both culturally and politically for the United States of America. In the first of eight episodes, this new documentary series looks into key events and figures of the decade, from David Bowie and hip-hop heroes Run DMC to Dallas, the emergence of primetime pioneer Oprah Winfrey, the Reagan presidency and the Challenger space shuttle disaster. Ben Arnold
Bull
10pm, Fox
Opening episode of a US comedy-drama based on the early exploits of Phil McGraw, who – prior to becoming a household name in the US as the host of Dr Phil – worked in trial consultancy. As it kicks off, the teen son of a billionaire is accused of murdering his girlfriend. When it transpires that he may also have been seeing someone else, things turn nasty, but that’s not the only twist in the tale. Hammy and unoriginal, this isn’t only bull by name but by nature, too. Hannah J Davies
Film choice
The Black Balloon (Elissa Down, 2008) 12.35am, BBC1
Director and co-writer Elissa Down drew on her own experience of growing up with two autistic brothers for this portrait of a family under huge strain. Toni Collette stars as Maggie, mother of the autistic Charlie (Luke Ford). She exudes unconditional love as the mute teenager lurches from sweetly lovable to impossible. Charlie is also a challenge for his younger brother Thomas (Rhys Wakefield) and his girlfriend Jackie (Gemma Ward), in a heartfelt but unsentimental Australian drama.
