The Great Comic Relief Bake Off
8.30pm, BBC1
Famous people don’t necessarily have to have talent, but a will to win will definitely help. As in life, so it is in baking, and in tonight’s heat, it initially seems as if Gok Wan (grim determination), Jonathan Ross (chutzpah), Abbey Clancy (book method) and YouTube sensation Zoella (tidy presentation) might be equally matched, irrespective of skills. After the obligatory cupcake round, the technical challenges of Mary’s filled profiterole look set to sort the wheat from the chaff. Jonathan Wright
Wolf Hall
9pm, BBC2
The penultimate episode of the dazzling Tudor saga seen through the eyes of Thomas Cromwell (Mark Rylance). It’s Royal Progress time, and what goes on tour stays on tour when Henry drops in on Jane Seymour, his next love target. The king, now all bloated and prone to mid-dinner napping, is still led by his codpiece to the nearest beauty and all Cromwell can do is look on helplessly as he says he might have changed his mind about Ann Boleyn. Julia Raeside.
World’s Biggest Hips
9pm, Channel 5
Light years from the harsh face of obesity popularised by shows such as Shut-Ins: Britain’s Fattest People, this one-off doc follows four US women who are proud of their figures. Mikel and Denise make thousands flaunting their bodies, while Austrian-born model Claudia has built her following through YouTube. New Yorker Marlena isn’t in the spotlight, but loves her size and is a keen dancer. A rare look at larger women embracing – in some cases even enlarging – their bodies that is sure to leave fat-shamers fuming. Hannah J Davies
Up The Women
10pm, BBC2
It’s polling day in Banbury, and the plucky ladies of the BICCPRWS are protesting in the church hall polling station, requesting that voters spoil their ballot papers in support of suffrage. The uptake isn’t stellar, but when fellow suffragette – crazed Betty from the sweetshop, who has been turned away from nearly all of the other suffrage groups – turns up and holds the circle hostage, things take a turn for the militant. There are a few more chuckles this week, but nothing like the amount there should be, considering all the talent involved. Ben Arnold
The Great Sex Addict Heist – The Dog: Storyville
10pm, BBC4
In August 1972, John Wojtowicz attempted to rob a Brooklyn branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank. The heist, which Wojtowicz claimed he undertook to raise money for his lover’s sex-change operation, was immortalised in the film Dog Day Afternoon. But who was Wojtowicz, who died in 2006, away from the headlines? This profile of a contradictory man, looking more like Bernie Winters than Al Pacino, reveals a self-aggrandising fantasist, yet also a brave romantic who was active in the gay rights movement. JW
Revolution Presents: Democracy Dealers
9pm, BBC3
The last time we met Conservative MP James Twottington-Burbage and Lib Dem Barnaby Plankton, they were surreptitiously fixing “Kick Me” signs to Ed Miliband’s back and advising council estate residents to remortgage their children. In this spin-off from BBC3’s The Revolution Will Be Televised, Jolyon Rubinstein and Heydon Prowse return with more hidden camera pranks. Will clueless Labour MP Ewan Jeffries or prospective Ukip candidate Dennis Pound fare better with the public? JW
Mythbusters
9pm, Discovery
New series of the science entertainment show starring Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman. After guest-starring on The Simpsons, the pair recreate two of the cartoon’s memorable scenes in real life. The first is Bart cherry-bombing the school toilets, the second the one where Homer protects his house from demolition by attaching himself bodily to the wrecking ball. The sense of grown men making massively puerile use of a huge budget for spurious scientific purposes is palpable. David Stubbs
