Taskmaster
9pm, Channel 4
Filling a pint glass from the furthest distance is the first task in this series’s grand final. Sure, a hose might seem the best option – but you have yet to see what Jenny Eclair can do with a balloon of water and a dart. Next up, a game of copycat chess with Alex Horne – involving Vaseline. And the winner is announced after a task that sees Frankie Boyle and Ivo Graham sing a lullaby to a nearly dead dog. Hollie Richardson
Who Do You Think You Are?

Meet the Richardsons
10pm, Dave
The married comedians’ meta antics this week involve UKTV asking them to make a special episode. The resulting Halloween extravaganza means an attempt to foist Sarah Greene on them as host, and a far scarier filming experience than they expected. Or as Lucy puts it: “I think we’ve opened up a portal to Hull!” Alexi Duggins
Open House: The Great Sex Experiment
10pm, Channel 4
The non-monogamous exploits continue. Tom and his “Tinderella” Kirsty are the latest couple to test the strength of their relationship (and ensure that acquaintances struggle to maintain eye contact in future). With Tom questioning his sexuality, Kirsty embraces her bi-curiosity. Hannah J Davies
Untold: The Secret War of Boy Racers
11.05pm, Channel 4
Prepare to tut with alacrity as Ben Zand gets to know the UK “car meet” scene – young(ish) men meeting at weekends to drive at irresponsible speed on public highways. Souped-up cars give racers a sense of identity and community, plus an adrenaline hit that’s only intensified by the obvious danger. Jack Seale
Film choice
Bros (Nicholas Stoller, 2022), 6.05am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
This delightful, razor-sharp comedy stars co-writer Billy Eichner as Bobby, a New York podcaster and director of a soon-to-open National Museum of LGBTQ+ History. He’s 40 and has never been in love, possibly due to his outspoken manner and fear of vulnerability. Luke Macfarlane’s Aaron doesn’t seem like his type – a reserved, muscle-bound lawyer whose favourite singer is Garth Brooks. But somehow, they click. Nicholas Stoller’s extremely funny film takes no prisoners in its dissection of queer identity and representation but has plenty of heart. Simon Wardell
