Douglas Is Cancelled

9pm, ITV1
What “joke” did Douglas (Hugh Bonneville) tell about his co-host Madeline (Karen Gillan) at the wedding party? We’re finally going to get answers in the intense finale of Steven Moffat’s cancel culture drama, which mostly focuses on Douglas’s brutal practice interview. We last saw Madeline’s strong suggestion that she knows exactly what happened and why – and Douglas isn’t the only person in the room viewers will be keeping an eye on. Hollie Richardson

Why Trains Crash

8pm, BBC One
Last year, three trains collided at Bahanaga Bazar railway station – it was India’s deadliest train crash in more than two decades. This documentary speaks to witnesses and uses CGI to show an account of what happened and the rescue mission in which nearby residents risked their own lives. It also probes the science behind such accidents. HR

Tom Kerridge Cooks Britain

8.30pm, ITV1
Sardines and milk are at the top of Tom Kerridge’s British food search list this week, as he rides in his trusty truck to Newlyn in Cornwall, one of the largest fishing ports in England. He needs that Jersey cream to make a custardy rice pudding with roasted apricots. HR

Ghosts US

8.30pm, BBC Three
You’d think a bunch of ghosts would know how to throw a good seance, right? Sadly, the gang’s attempts to contact their recently “sucked off” friend Flower (Sheila Carrasco) do not go to plan. Maybe the Woodstone Mansion Halloween party will be a bigger success? Their supply of doughnut holes, at least, is taken care of. Ellen E Jones

Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out

9pm, Channel 5
Helen the campervan ferries her favourite human Susan to the valleys of West Yorkshire, where she interviews a champion pantomime horse in Keighley (during a mascot race), and sweeps Nora Batty’s steps in Holmfirth, the actual location for Last of the Summer Wine. Oh, and there’s a spot of welly wanging in Upperthong. Ali Catterall

Paul Whitehouse’s Sketch Show Years

10pm, Gold
This whirlwind tour through various decades of UK sketch comedy – curated and narrated by one of the best to ever do it – wraps up with a look at the 2000s. Headline-grabbing hits such as The Catherine Tate Show and Little Britain loom large but there is also a look at how BBC Three became a hothouse for emerging talent. Graeme Virtue
