Beck: Flesh & Blood
9pm, BBC Four
A feature-length episode to start a new run of the Swedish detective series, though its titular character takes a back seat role in this one. Instead it mostly involves Steinar (Kristofer Hivju, AKA Tormund in Game of Thrones) who must get along with Alex – she got the job as squad chief, which Steinar went for unsuccessfully. Their first case involves a mother found dead at the bottom of the stairs by her 12-year-old daughter. The theme of domestic abuse is more intriguing than the whodunnit. David Stubbs
The Time It Takes
5.40pm, BBC One
Instead of getting two boring minutes on the clock, contestants in this new quiz pick from a series of quirky “timers” – such as how long it will take to fill a clown’s shoe with ice-cream – before being peppered with questions by Joe Lycett. Somehow it manages to be winningly daft instead of just stupid. Graeme Virtue
Strictly Come Dancing
7.05pm, BBC One
Last week’s Halloween special saw the demise of scandal-hit Seann Walsh, leaving only 10 couples remaining. As the all-important trip to Blackpool draws closer, Ashley Roberts, Faye Tozer and Danny John-Jules are delivering the hoofing goods, but there’s a chance to get rid of another struggling couple tonight. Hannah Verdier
The Kennedys: A Fatal Ambition
9pm, Channel 5
More rubbernecking at the doomed first family in this two-parter, which begins by recapping the Kennedy clan’s early days, the rise to prominence of formidable patriarch Joe despite institutional anti-Catholic bigotry, and the election of JFK in 1960. We all know what happened next. Gwilym Mumford
Killing Eve
9.25pm, BBC One
The acclaimed series concludes with Villanelle going on the run with Konstantin’s gobby daughter in tow, while Eve finally confronts Carolyn about her clandestine actions. Inevitably it all builds to a showdown that, in keeping with much of Killing Eve, tiptoes between humour and stomach-twisting tension. GM
Kiss Rocks Vegas
10pm, Sky Arts
The FM-friendly likes of Crazy, Crazy Nights have been jettisoned for this 2014 gig at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, which focuses instead on old fan faves (including Psycho Circus, War Machine and Rock and Roll All Nite) from Gene Simmons and his painted chums, as well as an obligatory “unplugged” set.

Film choice
Truly, Madly, Deeply, 9pm, BBC Two
Seen as the Brit answer to Ghost, Anthony Minghella’s film is more emotionally honest and funnier. He’s helped by fine acting – Juliet Stevenson as the bereaved Nina inhabits grief in all its runny-nosed misery, while Alan Rickman does a very funny ghostly turn as Jamie, invading her flat with a bunch of late-night ghouls.
