Paul Hollywood Eats Mexico
9pm, Channel 4
If watching Paul Hollywood choke on a chilli, wince at tequila and shove humongous insects down his throat sounds like an enjoyable way to pass an hour, here’s a three-part series featuring the Bake Off judge eating his way around Mexico. First up, in Mexico City he finds the best tacos he’s ever had (the nation gets through 4bn of them a year, according to Hollywood) and gets carried away bashing piñatas. Hollie Richardson
McDonald & Dodds
8pm, ITV
When a shady medium makes a grisly discovery near Glastonbury Tor, the odd-couple cops are called in to investigate.

Graeme Virtue
The Outlaws
9pm, BBC One
The final episode opens with the gang in familiar territory: a police interview room. How did preparing to unveil the newly refurbished Community Centre land them there? A flashback to three days earlier provides drama-packed answers. HR
Wireless Festival 2022

Das Boot
9pm, Sky Atlantic
The drama wryly known as “Das Reboot” continues to do plenty with not very much – the claustrophobia of the underwater setting adds intensity to the narratives rather than limiting them. Tonight, Swinburn’s destroyers are closing in on U-949. As he begins to run out of options, Konstantin Gries’s Commander Buchner contemplates a risky manoeuvre. Phil Harrison
Roswell 75: The Final Evidence
9pm, Sky History
It’s 75 years since, according to UFO enthusiasts, aliens crash-landed in New Mexico, with their presence then covered up by the Man. This film tests some of the most popular theories, in the company of two UFO experts, a scientist and, err, a magician. Could unseen testimony from an eyewitness blow the whole case wide open?

David Lean followed his Great Expectations with another fine, unsentimental Dickens adaptation in 1948. In a wonderfully realised London of dangerous shadows and grimy brickwork, orphan Oliver (John Howard Davies) falls in with criminals Fagin (Alec Guinness) and Sikes (Robert Newton). Shot from a child’s eye view, it is packed with peril and wit – and features one of the great pieces of dog acting from Sikes’s terrier Bullseye. If you fancy the same story on a lighter note, Lionel Bart’s musical Oliver! is on Sky Cinema Greats on Tuesday. Simon Wardell
North By Northwest, 12.55am, TCM Movies
Saul Bass titles, Bernard Herrmann soundtrack, Cary Grant, a blond femme fatale (Eva Marie Saint in this case) – all the elements for a classic Alfred Hitchcock film are in place here. And it’s a cracking thriller, with Grant’s New York advertising executive mistaken for a US agent by James Mason’s foreign spy, before using his wits and charm to evade the police and baddies in a cross-country pursuit. From a crop-dusting plane attack to the Mount Rushmore climax, Hitchcock keeps the viewer and Grant constantly – and entertainingly – on the run. SW
