Mary Makes Christmas
8pm, BBC One
She turns 90 next year, but the star baker Mary Berry is still at it with the help (or hindrance) of some celebrity friends. Oti Mabuse, Nick Grimshaw (pictured) and Amanda Holden join in as she makes almond snowballs for the cold-water swimmers and stocking-filler boozy apricots and ginger flapjacks for the annual Christmas carols celebration in aid of the search-and-rescue charity the RNLI. Expect to lust after turkey pasties and clementine creme brulee, too. Hollie Richardson
