Posh Neighbours at War
7.30pm, Channel 4
This documentary about disputes between top tax bracketees opens with a proper Kensington kerfuffle. Zipporah Lisle-Mainwaring has painted her home in a manner befitting a barber’s pole, setting neighbourhood curtains a-twitching. Meanwhile, Notting Hill resident (and sibling of Boris) Rachel Johnson bemoans living alongside a basement build. Viewers arriving home to a bucketful of bills may wish they had set enough money aside to purchase the world’s smallest violin. Mark Gibbings-Jones
MasterChef: the Finals
8.30pm, BBC1
Stripped across the week, the last five contestants standing must cook ever-more impressive things, adding flourish and flavour while retaining the basic principles of cooking, or else Baldy and Jowly will frown. Tonight, the five travel to Bristol’s Old Vic theatre to whip up dramatic delights for five leading actors. Then, back to the stainless-steel persecution kitchen to produce a personally inspired dish before one of them is eliminated and left in a wheelie bin in the car park. Julia Raeside
Veep
10pm, Sky Atlantic
A double bill to kick off season five, with Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s unceasingly and hilariously obnoxious Selina Meyer suffering a stress pimple as the presidential race produces a dead heat. (“Didn’t those founding fuckers ever hear of an odd number?”) But could there be a recount in Nevada? Somehow she retains the loyalty of her fretful, ambitious staff, with even Amy back in the fold. The wit is as sharp as ever, while memorable calamities, including an all-white race symposium, abound. David Stubbs
The Island with Bear Grylls
9pm, Channel 4
The latest marooning at the hands of adventurer Bear Grylls comes to an end – and the group are not in a particularly good way, suffering from a combination of brutal storms, insufficient shelter and not enough food. In a final push, the female competitors gather their energy for a last search for grub, while Simon leads a hunt into the jungle, seeking out the most dangerous predator on the island, the caiman crocodile. What could possibly go wrong? Ben Arnold
Marcella
9pm, ITV
The pace gathers in the fifth episode of eight, with a confession, more deaths, a vanishing and a revelation that’s bigger than all of the above. It’s the kind of plot that leaves characters having to open scenes by saying, “Remember …?” If you’re keeping up, you might not mind that this whodunnit doesn’t have the deft character work of creator Hans Rosenfeldt’s masterpiece, The Bridge. Glassy views of empty central London lend Marcella its tone instead: eerie, if a little hollow. Jack Seale
Fear the Walking Dead
9pm, AMC from BT
The zombie-related carnage continues in this entertaining prequel. While there’s a lot to be said for his decision to put his family on Strand’s boat, Travis’s role as a general common-sense man able to fix things isn’t without its issues. Meanwhile, a scavenging mission to some twisted fuselage reveals hidden talents in rehab regular Nick – and some nasty surprises for Chris. It’s all gripping stuff, like an Alan Ayckbourn drama but with quality undead content. John Robinson
