Moominvalley
1pm, Sky One
Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson’s cuddly, rotund fairytale creatures return to our screens in all their 3D glory for the second season of this adaptation. Favourites Moomintroll, Sniff and Snufkin are all set to get up to mischief in their 13 episodes in Moominvalley, with well-placed voice acting from the likes of Taron Egerton, Rosamund Pike and Matt Berry. Billed as Finland’s most expensive TV show, with a budget of €20m, this labour of love will surely delight adults and kids alike. Ammar Kalia
In for a Christmas Penny
7.25pm, ITV
Stephen Mulhern hauls a big sack of cash around Manchester, asking shoppers to complete daft tasks such as taping objects to themselves or identifying a celebrity Santa to get some wodge. If a lucky local can produce an actual penny from their pockets, they could even win a holiday to NYC. Graeme Virtue
The Hit List
7.30pm, BBC One
The underwhelming music quiz reaches the end of its run. Hosts Marvin and Rochelle Humes do their best to keep things hyped but, basically, we’re dealing with 40 minutes of contestants naming pop songs from their intros – and even the £10,000 prize can’t transform that into a spectacle for the ages. Phil Harrison
Michael McIntyre’s Big Show
8.15pm, BBC One
Celebrity guests, a whooping audience and a bag of pranks are on offer in Michael McIntyre’s likable variety show. A slightly embarrassed-looking Robbie Williams is a game guest, leading the karaoke and dragging the corpse of Christmas songs around the stage. Ian Wright also hands his phone over. Hannah Verdier

Film choice
Looper 12.25am, BBC One
Rian Johnson’s ingenious, head-spinning sci-fi thriller has Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis playing the same Kansas hitman Joe. The younger version is contracted to hunt down and kill his older self, until they join forces to terminate a time-travelling crime syndicate. Violently gripping. Paul Howlett
