Tom Jones & Rob Brydon: One Big Night
8pm, BBC1
Rob Brydon hosts a grandiose tribute to the singing legend and Voice boot-off, filmed earlier this year at Wembley Arena, in aid of Children in Need. Tom’s musical numbers are interspersed with comedy from special guests, a Jones-themed mini-episode of The Trip featuring Steve Coogan, and appearances from David Walliams and Jessica Hynes. Jones is joined onstage by the likes of Laura Mvula, Evelyn Glennie and the Shires. Julia Raeside
The Last Kingdom
9pm, BBC2
More scenes from the days when men were men and, seemingly, there was always rain in the air or snow on the ground. In tonight’s episode, we rejoin Uhtred as he prepares to marry Mildrith. A happy day, despite a rather perfunctory wedding service. But there’s a sting in the tail as Uhtred learns he’s not just gained a wife, but a large debt. Elsewhere, Guthrum’s troops enter Wessex and, as Uhtred joins ascetic Alfred’s forces to help face down the threat, the two men again butt horns. Terrific. Jonathan Wright
Unforgotten
9pm, ITV
It’s the final episode of the outstanding cold-case drama and, with the whodunnit still wide open, there’ll be no spoilers here. The performances have been brilliant throughout the series and tonight is no exception. DCI Stuart and DS Khan (played by the convincing double act Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar) finally learn the identity of the killer, with many conversations in corridors, flashbacks, confessions and unravelling of lives. Once again, it’s Walker who steals the episode: she’s tough, determined and quietly emotional to the last scene. Hannah Verdier
Kitchen Impossible With Michel Roux Jr
9pm, Channel 4
Episode three of the frustrating but hopeful reality show, in which the Le Gavroche boss coolly tries to mould young people with disabilities into high-end chefs and waiters. Tonight, the wannabes are sent out across London to their own work placements. Talented but brittle Annalie faces a shift at the four-star Park Plaza hotel, while Sam tries to recover from last week’s prawn farrago by cooking canapes for river cruisers – but can he stay on top of his Tourette’s syndrome in a tiny, bustling kitchen? Jack Seale
Ben Fogle: New Lives in the UK
9pm, Channel 5
The debut of the successor franchise to Fogle’s New Lives in the Wild, in which he met people who had abandoned the urban rat race to reinvent themselves in some remote fastness or other. This is the same conceit on a lower budget, meeting people testing the proposition that there might be more to Britain than its crowded and expensive cities. Inevitably, the tales are both inspiring and cautionary, including those of a family who swapped a London council house for four acres of Devon. Andrew Mueller
How Straight Am I? Tyger Takes On
9pm, BBC3
Tyger Drew-Honey – he’s straight, just so you know – is our fairly engaging guide for this investigation into sexuality. Young people, Tyger learns (though he only likes girls), are all copping off which each other: boys with boys, boys with girls, girls with girls. What is this new, non-judgmental blurring of lines? Sex-party entrepreneurs Chris and Lauren, (who seem to appear in every doc like this) are on hand to provide vivid background when Tyger visits one of their big events. John Robinson
The Last Panthers
9pm, Sky Atlantic
In the early 1990s, a staggeringly successful eastern European jewel-thieving network emerged, dubbed the Pink Panthers by Interpol. Their takings are estimated at $500m. This multilingual drama, told in English, French and Serbo-Croatian, is inspired by their adventures and stars John Hurt and Samantha Morton. In the opener, a diamond heist serves as the introduction to a European underworld of gangsters and “banksters”, as seen from the perspective of a cop, a criminal and a loss adjuster. David Stubbs
Film choice
Advise and Consent (Otto Preminger, 1962) 12noon, BBC2
A hard and sharp insider view of Washington politicking, adapted from Allen Drury’s novel. Preminger directs with relish, and Sam Leavitt’s monochrome photography adds a documentary-style authenticity. Henry Fonda is the president’s man vying to be secretary of state – to the horror of southern senator Charles Laughton (in his final screen appearance) and his gang, who suspect he’s a red. Paul Howlett
