Moneyball
6.30pm, ITV
Ian Wright’s new “high-risk” gameshow, where the amount of money up for grabs is determined by a ball dropped from a height chosen by the contestant. With football’s most affable man proving to be a natural host and big bundles of cash vanishing because of a stupid ball, it’s easy to get mindlessly sucked in, until you suddenly realise what you’re watching and wonder how Saturday nights came to this.

Strictly Come Dancing
7.10pm, BBC One
Get the plastic bats and fake cobwebs ready: Strictly is going crypt-ly for a Halloween special. That means an opening monster mash from the pros paying tribute to classic horror baddies before the remaining couples try to survive. Graeme Virtue
The 80s: Music’s Greatest Decade? With Dylan Jones
8.55pm, BBC Two
A ridiculously subjective conversation that many of us will have had: which is music’s greatest decade? Dylan Jones continues to make a case for the 80s, honouring “true originals” such as David Bowie, Adam Ant, Tina Turner, Duran Duran and Sade Adu with plentiful archive. Phil Harrison
Paris Police 1900
9pm, BBC Four
As this striking, stylish drama approaches its end game, the Dreyfus affair has divided France into two camps. This polarity creates space for all manner of intrigue. The nationalist Guerin is waiting for his chance to take power, while the anarchists are cementing an unexpected alliance. With the soul of the nation at stake, expect fireworks. PH
The Capote Tapes
9pm, Sky Documentaries
Truman Capote left his most controversial piece of work unfinished when he died in 1984. Answered Prayers painted a not-too-pretty portrait of the author’s jet-set society of “swans” such as Slim Keith and Babe Paley. Through previously unheard audio and interviews, this documentary unpicks how the untold tale led to the downfall of Capote’s legacy. HR
Spitting Image: Halloween Special
9.30pm, ITV
Halloween seems redundant, considering the horrorshow we’re living through. Spitting Image is back to mark the occasion anyway. Olivia Colman and Raheem Sterling are two of the revived satirical puppet series’ newest victims, joining the more terrifying “characters” as they get in double, double, toil and trouble. HR

The Exorcist
Saturday, 10.40pm, BBC Two
Pity the poor parents whose child decides to dress up as Linda Blair’s Regan for Halloween this year. As voiced by Mercedes McCambridge, she is a potty-mouthed, projectile-vomiting demon with no respect for a cross. This fantastic creation sears herself into the memory in William Friedkin’s seminal 1973 horror, as her mother Ellen Burstyn and Catholic priests Jason Miller and Max von Sydow struggle to save the possessed 12-year-old girl. Beyond the revolving heads and creepy subliminal imagery, it is also an affecting exploration of faith and guilt. Simon Wardell
