Stacey & Joe
8pm, BBC One
In the first series of Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash’s life-at-home series, Joe was a bit useless. “You said Pickle Cottage is like our relationship: it constantly needs work,” reflects Stacey in this second series. “I haven’t seen you put much work in!” Has he taken note? Well, there’s a promise of “more romance” as they go away for his birthday. Leave your cynicism at the door – it’s undeniably sweet viewing. Hollie Richardson
The Great British Bake Off
8pm, Channel 4
It’s biscuit week on Bake Off, and if you think we’d resort to cheap puns, you’d be absolutely right. Noel and Alison whisk the bakers through a batch of crumb-believable challenges, including crafting a classic chocolate Hobnob. When it comes to the crunch, who’ll be a jammie dodger and who’ll crumble under pressure? Ali Catterall
The Yorkshire Vet
8pm, Channel 5
A lamb that has been born with five legs and six feet needs treatment this week. Elsewhere, an old basset hound is having surgery on its poorly eye, and a rhea – a flightless bird also known as a South American ostrich – has been attacked by dogs. HR
The Great British Sewing Bee
9pm, BBC One
It’s the semi-final, and a series of 1920s-inspired challenges suggest the producers think the world spent that decade engaged in upper-class sporting pursuits. First, contestants recreate golfing plus-fours, then polo shirts inspired by the tennis player René Lacoste’s invention of them, and finally it’s partywear. Tally ho! Alexi Duggins
Casualty 24/7: Every Second Counts
9pm, Channel 5
Another tense shift in the Barnsley A&E department, starting with a 70-year-old struggling to breathe since holidaying in Tunisia. A fellow septuagenarian is also rushed in as she is bleeding heavily after a fall. And a 12-year-old boy has broken his hand. HR
Resident Alien
10.05pm, Sky Max
Now that flailing alien Harry is stuck in human form, this sci-fi comedy has settled into a Northern Exposure-style groove about life in a remote town full of eccentrics. With UFO stuff on the backburner, stressed nurse Asta tries to keep the family diner running smoothly while her father is away. Graeme Virtue

The Old Man & the Gun (David Lowery, 2018), 2.15am, Channel 4
David Lowery is one of the most fascinating directors working today, flitting between Disney fare such as Pete’s Dragon and the hardcore arthouse of A Ghost Story. But with 2018’s The Old Man & the Gun, he hit the exact midpoint between the two. Robert Redford plays Forrest Tucker, a career criminal whose string of heists enchants everyone around him, including the officers pursuing him. To date, The Old Man & the Gun represents Redford’s last substantial film role. If it remains so, it’s the perfect way for him to go out. Stuart Heritage
