Dreaming Whilst Black

10.10pm, BBC Three

Adjani Salmon’s excellent comedy drama about life as a Black British creative is back, and it seems as if Kwabena might be about to catch a break. Of course, it’s not long before his new job directing a period drama is causing him all kinds of headaches. Among them, figuring out how his acting hero Rudolph Williams (Kobna Holdbrook-Smith) – a Black man – can play a role originally written as a white slave-owner. Hannah J Davies

Dragons’ Den

8pm, BBC One

Exercise guru Joe Wicks is a guest Dragon as another slew of nervous entrepreneurs make their pitches, ranging from nutritional yeast and a dinosaur-themed outdoor attraction to a website that helps mums return to work after a career break. A gentle episode with a lot of very friendly rejections. Jack Seale

Taskmaster

9pm, Channel 4

In this week’s offering of wacky comedy challenges, a peeved Maisie Adam confronts Alex Horne over his actions during an obstacle-course-related task, while Ania Magliano pesters a stranger about their marital status. Sanjeev Bhaskar, Phil Ellis and Reece Shearsmith also get up to mischief under the stern, watchful eyes of host Greg Davies. Nicole Vassell

All Creatures Great and Small

9pm, Channel 5

This revived veterinary drama continues to exist in a cheerful if saccharine bubble of rural nostalgia. This week, pampered pooch Tricki is the centre of yet more fussing as Mrs Pumphrey prepares for a special visitor. And Tristan and Siegfried find themselves in (very mild) competition. Phil Harrison

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK

9pm, BBC Three

Seven British series in, this well-worn franchise could feel stale. Thank God, then, for the presence of the UK’s only singing and violin-playing queen and, er, a contestant best known for impersonating a sausage roll. For added camp, Girls Aloud’s Nadine Coyle drops in for the girl group challenge. HJD

Brassic

10pm, Sky Max

There’s nothing like a school reunion to inspire a jolly trip down memory lane. However, getting the class of 2006 back together leads to Ronnie (Carl Rice) running into his old bully and longing for revenge. Unfortunately, this means an alliance with an unstable ex-classmate … and a mysterious missing body. PH
