There's a 1970s night on the Bake Off, a new series all about the Revolutions That Changed History, Interior Design Masters for Children in Need, and the second part of the documentary about Women Locked Up: Inside the Dóchas . . .
The Great British Bake Off, 8.00pm, Channel 4
If this old world starts getting you down, there’s nothing like a bit of Bake Off to bring a little sunshine back into your day.
The competition continues as Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding host the remaining bakers as they take on the challenges of 1970s week.
It's a Bake Off first as the show steps back in time and the bakers rock their bell-bottoms as they tackle three groovy challenges from the decade that brought us ABBA, Star Wars and space hoppers.
First up, it's all about choux as the bakers whip up towering profiterole masterpieces, perfect for a 70s dinner party.
For the Technical, they take on a retro favourite. And as the 1970s was the golden age of the gateau, the Showstopper demands a cake that's elaborately decorated with all the flair of the era.
Only four bakers can make it to the semi-final, so whose gateau will have the get up and go to clinch a place in the penultimate stage of this year’s contest?
Revolutions That Changed History, 9.00pm, Sky History
This brand-new documentary series details the complex truth behind ancient revolutions and revolts.
Though history has long lionised its great leaders and early rulers, being an elite wasn't all glory and prosperity.
Even the fiercest General and the most enduring Monarch would be confronted by opposition and upheaval.
Some learned the hard way that power is far from absolute, and allegiance, always conditional.
Revolutions That Changed History exposes the complex truth behind ancient revolutions and revolts, from the epic, action-packed, bloody battlegrounds to the intimate exchanges between confidants that were powerful enough to turn tides.
Episodes include Boudica’s Revolt, French Revolution, Third Servile War, American Revolution and Decembrist Revolt.
The opening episode considers Wat Tyler, the leader of the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. And, no, I’ve never heard of him.
Apparently, he proved the first great popular rebellion in English history, with his persona being one of the chief factors in the success of protests against the harsh taxation of the poorer classes.
Interior Design Masters for Children in Need, 8.00pm, BBC One
Jon Richardson, our own Joanne McNally (below), Darren Harriott, Leomie Anderson and Martin and Shirlie Kemp transform a young carers project in aid of Children in Need before Michelle Ogundehin and guest judge Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen decide who wins Stand Out Space.
Storyville: Queendom, 10.00pm, BBC Four
This episode of Storyville follow Gina, a Russian 21-year-old non-binary performance artist.
The programme takes a look at their outrageous costumes, made from duct tape, and the dangerous performances they create, which challenge violence against the LGBTQ community and imminent war in Ukraine.
Six Wives with Lucy Worsley, 9.00pm, BBC Four
Anything with Lucy Worsley’s name on it is worth a look.
This series charts key moments in the lives of the infamous King Henry VIII's wives, combining dramatised scenes with the presenter's own contemporary historical comment.
In this episode, Lucy (above) follows Catherine of Aragon through her emotional and physical struggles to give Henry the heir he so desperately needs to continue his dynasty.
When Catherine finally gives birth to a baby girl, Henry's eye wanders to the ladies at court - first Mary Boleyn, and then to her sister, Anne.
Sue Perkins' Big Adventure: Paris to Istanbul, 9.15pm, Channel 4
Last week’s opener in Paris was fun.
This week Sue heads to Strasbourg where she embraces her inner renaissance, finds her true calling as a mermaid and bathes in a tub of beer.
Her adventure then shifts gears as she takes to the road to Munich in a luxury sports car.
On arrival she unleashes her creative side with some spray painting, before finishing in style as a Bavarian dancer on a Munich Pride float.
Long Lost Family: What Happened Next, 8.00pm, Virgin Media One
Davina McCall (below) and Nicky Campbell revisit the stories of two women whose searches took them to opposite sides of the globe.
For starters, Yasika Fernando's search for her Sri Lankan birth mother was watched by someone else born in the very same week and adopted from the very same convent.
Meanwhile Paula Stillie finally heads over to Montana in the USA to see her Native American aunts and uncles in person.
Women Locked Up: Inside the Dóchas, 9.00pm, Virgin Media One
The three-part documentary series about the biggest women’s prison continues with an episode called The Ripple Effect.
Snow brings down the drugs nets and complex prisoners' needs are on the rise. A pregnant inmate prepares to give birth while in prison.
The third and concluding part will be broadcast tomorrow night.
MasterChef: The Professionals, 9.00pm, BBC One
In the skills test, Marcus Wareing challenges two chefs to cook Italian blue cheese gnudi dumplings served with broccoli soup.
Then Monica Galetti (above) has another two contestants making citrus-cured seabass tacos with a vegetable garnish and crispy fish skin.
All four must then prepare their own two-course signature menu in the hope of gaining a place in this week's quarter-final.
Deadpool & Wolverine, Disney+
This enjoyable if rather puerile Marvel movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman is all the better for not taking itself too seriously.
The story this time around finds Reynolds' Wade Wilson with his past as the morally flexible Deadpool behind him, until he suddenly finds himself in a fight for the survival of his homeworld and must suit-up again.
And his major task is to convince a reluctant Wolverine (played by Jackman, of course) to help him with his cause. He gets through quite a few Wolverines . . .
