Comic Relief: Funny for Money

7pm, BBC One
The fundraiser bonanza is back, with hosts including Davina McCall, Nick Mohammed, Katherine Ryan and Catherine Tate – as Nan! Highlights include a world exclusive of Traitors: The Movie: The Sequel and a dizzying Amandaland sketch. Plus, Greg James finishes his 1,000km tandem bike ride challenge, while Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond take on a secret special project. Hollie Richardson

Gardeners’ World

9pm, BBC Two
Are your pelargoniums primed for a standout summer? Never fear, Monty Don is back in his Longmeadow garden to demonstrate a well-sprung spring. And at RHS Garden Rosemoor, Carol Klein grows fruit and veg that taste as good as they look. Ellen E Jones

Ted

9pm, Sky One

Somehow proving that a foul-mouthed teddy bear is less a one-note joke than a franchise that can run for more than a decade, season two of this comedy continues. This double bill sees him audition for a school play, while Blaire learns that she is pregnant. Alexi Duggins

Comic Relief Does The Weakest Link

10pm, BBC Two
Bank or bants? Why not both? After three hours of enjoyably daft fundraising larks on BBC One, the high-spirited Comic Relief effort continues uninterrupted on BBC Two. Romesh Ranganathan welcomes six comedians to his spotlit sanctum of sarcasm to see who can secure the most dosh for Red Nose Day 2026. Graeme Virtue

The Claudia Winkleman Show

10.40pm, BBC One
The hit-or-miss first episode is out of the way and Claud is back with more. It’s not exactly an A-list lineup but there’s plenty of fun to be had with Irish comedian Joanne McNally, Bafta-nominated actor Guz Khan and former One Direction star Niall Horan. HR

Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy

10.55pm, ITV1

It’s the penultimate episode of this queasy real-crime drama telling the grisly story of American serial killer Gacy, and the trial is under way. However, the police still don’t know exactly how many people Gacy killed. Can his driver to and from court extract more information? PH

Film choice

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (Tom Harper, 2026), Netflix

Whether the Birmingham-set period crime drama needed another outing after six series is a moot point, but Tommy Shelby is back to brood magnificently one final time. The creator/writer, Steven Knight, and director, Tom Harper, keep things reassuringly familiar (glowering vistas, anachronistic songs, random acts of violence) but we’re now in 1940, and the Nazis are coming. While Tommy (Cillian Murphy) is holed up in a decaying mansion haunted by the ghosts of his past, his impetuous son and heir, Duke (Barry Keoghan), forms an alliance with a British fascist, John Beckett (a cool Tim Roth), to flood the country with counterfeit currency. And only Tommy can stop them … Simon Wardell

In Camera (Naqqash Khalid 2023), 11.10pm, BBC Two
The travails of an actor condemned to a series of humiliating auditions could be the subject of comedy (see Wonder Man). But in Naqqash Khalid’s dislocating satirical drama it becomes the stuff of nightmares. Nabhaan Rizwan is compelling as Aden, first seen as a bloodied corpse in a police show, who seems worryingly disconnected in the face of the awkwardness and fake sincerity of his vocation. And when he is hired by a therapist to play a dead son for a grieving mother, his grip on reality starts to loosen. The same goes for the film itself, which feels increasingly untethered. SW
