Ballet’s Dark Knight: Sir Kenneth MacMillan
9pm, BBC Four
A far-from-straightforward homage to the renowned choreographer as part of BBC Four’s ballet night. MacMillan dominated British ballet for decades before his death in 1992, and his legacy is vast. As the film reveals, however, his struggles with alcoholism, anxiety and depression place him in that category of figures who pose awkward questions about the degree to which we can, or should, altogether separate our enjoyment of the art from our knowledge of the artist. Andrew Mueller
The Durrells
8pm, ITV
It is the final episode in the series and, as we prepare to leave them, the Durrells basically join the circus. When a troupe of travelling performers hit town, Larry inevitably falls in love with a contortionist and Margo performs death-defying acts. It may even be the catalyst that finally brings Spiros and Louisa together. Ben Arnold
Bake Off: The Professionals
8pm, Channel 4
Bake Off 2017 favourite Liam Charles and comedian Tom Allen play Noel and Sandi for this spin-off show in which professional pastry chefs get their bake on. Standards are predictably high: this week there’s a batch of miniature classics to make and the humble black forest gateau gets a reinvention. Hannah Verdier
Carnage
8pm, Sky1
Mechanical savagery without peril is the premise of Robot Wars. Add bloodshed and you’ve got Mad Max. Somewhere between the two you’ll find the enjoyable Carnage, in which car customisers compete against each other and terrifying enemy trucks in a desert landscape. Fun and, edited for swears, would be massive with 10-year-olds, too. John Robinson
The Woman in White
9pm, BBC One
Count Fosco and Sir Percival’s plan is set into motion, while Marian, who has stumbled upon their plotting and is the only person who can warn her sister, falls so ill that she can barely speak. All she can do from her sickbed is toss, turn and deliriously plead with Laura not to drink the tea … CCW
Homeland
9pm, Channel 4
Homeland’s mirroring of current liberal anxieties – Russians! Russians everywhere! – creates a classic thriller for the season finale: can Saul and Carrie get their crucial intelligence asset out of Moscow? This year’s other main motif, of Carrie gambling her sanity for the good of America, is powerfully woven in. Jack Seale
