Mary Makes It Easy
7.30pm, BBC Two
Darker nights call for the warm comfort of Mary Berry recipes, and in this series she’s teaching celebrities who are useless in the kitchen. Anton Du Beke joins her in Bournemouth this week, and the only thing he claims to have cooked before is eggs. They get to work on crispy squid, smoked salmon linguine and apricot Portuguese tarts – with some wholesome seaside fun in between. Hollie Richardson
The Newsreader
9pm, BBC Two
The stock market is plummeting in this vivid 80s-set drama – calendar watchers will note that Black Monday is fast approaching – but news anchor Helen (Anna Torv) is more concerned with keeping her difficult past out of the gossip columns. Perhaps her partner Dale (Sam Reid) can help? Or will it take a more decisive intervention? Ellen E Jones
Taskmaster
9pm, Channel 4
As the penultimate episode of the lovable challenge show dawns, it’s all to play for in terms of Greg Davies’ golden head. Frequently bewildered Lucy Beaumont should be a strong contender, but can she get Alex Horne to sit on a sled? Meanwhile, Susan Wokoma turns to road sweeping and Julian Clary has a secret weapon.

Ireland’s Most Evil Killers
9pm, Sky Crime
This week’s utterly bleak case: in 2014, Eric Locke created a fake Facebook profile to lure his ex-girlfriend to a hotel in Tallaght, where he then murdered the mother of one. This episode looks at how the jury heard about his behaviour towards her, including relentless texts and his defence of being mentally unwell. HR
Hullraisers
10pm, Channel 4
“People don’t flirt with Craig; he got those trousers from the middle aisle of Lidl.” In the first of this week’s double bill of the Hull-set comedy, Toni becomes suspicious of her spouse’s new friendship with neighbour Shar (the excellent Amy Gledhill), while also dealing with the landlord trying to sell their house. Elsewhere, Paula and Dave are stuck in a sexual standoff. HR
Brassic
10pm, Sky Max
With flashbacks using puppets and even a full-blown musical number, season five of Joseph Gilgun’s scallywag sitcom has been a blast. In the action-packed finale, Vinnie and the gang try to get one over on the slippery drug lord Manolito by stealing some risque paintings by famous local dauber Lowry. Incredibly, things do not go according to plan. Graeme Virtue
