Les Misérables
9pm, BBC One
The final episode of this faithful adaptation covers the events of volume five in the original book, with the barricade under desperate siege. Valjean is caught in two minds about Marius but volunteers to execute Javert. There follows a desperate attempt by Valjean to drag an injured man through the Paris sewers, only for him to come up against Thénardier. The conclusion of this tale of morality, cruelty, defiance and redemption will sorely test your tear ducts. David Stubbs
Dancing on Ice
6pm, ITV
This series has been the most dramatic yet, thanks to the one-woman story generator that is Gemma Collins. At the halfway point there are some skilled skaters but the public are behind the GC, after she survived critics and a painful faceplant. This week, the show goes full Disney on Ice for a fairytale-themed skate. Hannah Verdier
A Slow Odyssey: The Great Wall of China
8pm, BBC Four
Ninety minutes; a 2,500km, 2,300-year-old wonder of the world; no commentary; the odd caption. Better than the jangling reindeer films or last year’s mind-numbing Australian train ride, this aerial journey along the Ming dynasty monument is definitely worth an extended look. Mike Bradley
Birth of a Pride
8pm, Nat Geo Wild
This artfully filmed doc tells the story of the restoration of natural equilibrium to a territory in Botswana through the birth of a new pride of lions. There’s a simple but important point here: if we can silence the guns of trophy-hunting humans and work constructively, nature really does stand a chance of recovery. MB
Africa with Ade Adepitan
9pm, BBC Two
Adepitan launches a series of topical reports from sub-Saharan Africa with a journey that takes him from Cape Verde to Nigeria, the country of his birth. Along the way he gathers unusual, often eye-opening stories to support his claim that “Africa is the most exciting continent on the planet”. MB
Ride Upon the Storm
11pm, Channel 4
The Danish drama exploring the personal impact of faith and religion continues. Johannes’s talents as a priest don’t mesh with the new bishop’s vision; Christian moves in with Emilie after being expelled by his fellow students; and in the Middle East, August tries to bond with the deployed soldiers, with dire consequences. Ali Catterall
Film choice
Ruby Sparks, 1am, Film4
This witty tale has Paul Dano’s lonesome novelist Calvin wrestling with writer’s block and typing out a fantasy about his ideal woman. And, lo and behold, the effervescent Ruby Sparks (Zoe Kazan, who also wrote and produced) steps off the page into real life, prompting a subtle and poignant romance. Paul Howlett
