Junior Taskmaster
8pm, Channel 4
The remarkable rise of Taskmaster over the past decade proves that sometimes we just need daft, pointless telly. It’s a genius move, then, to add kids into the mix. Rose Matafeo is in charge of events and, with the help of her assistant, Mike Wozniak, sets challenges for a cohort of very spirited youngsters. It would be a mistake to underestimate these smart cookies – but that doesn’t mean they don’t also provide some hilariously stupid moments, just like the adults. Good fun for fans of any age. Hollie Richardson

7.30pm, BBC One
This rousing film follows 23-year-old Liam Byrne, a Scottish Base jumper and British champion in the jaw-dropping sport of wingsuit flying. It captures a year in his life as he meticulously prepares for a daring and technically tricky jump from Männlichen mountain in Switzerland – more than 2,000 metres up. Careful now. Ali Catterall
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol
9pm, Sky Max
The title may have become a mouthful – just call it “Hobo With a Hot Nun” – but season two of the Walking Dead spinoff has not lacked for action and even romance. Key characters have perished on the way to this finale but, thanks to super-zombie serum, death need not be the end. Graeme Virtue

The Great Dictator (Charles Chaplin, 1940), 2pm, Sky Arts
A remarkable film to be made at a time when the US was yet to join the war against Germany, Charlie Chaplin’s 1940 satire is a bold, comic takedown of Hitler – ridiculing his pomposity while exposing what was then known about his violent persecution of the Jewish people. Parallel narratives follow Adenoid Hynkel, fascist ruler of Tomainia, and an unnamed Jewish barber (both played by Chaplin), doppelgangers whose lives are fated to cross. There are a few trademark skits – a food fight, a shave to the music of Brahms – but there’s a serious point to be made, and Chaplin forces it home. Simon Wardell
Airplane! (Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker, 1980), 12.05am, Channel 4
A comedy with arguably the most gags per minute of any Hollywood film ever, this classic from Jim Abrahams and David and Jerry Zucker takes the disaster movie genre and tickles it to death. The plot is about a commercial flight where the crew are incapacitated and a traumatised former pilot (Robert Hays) has to land it – but that’s not important right now. Venerable movie actors Leslie Nielsen, Lloyd Bridges and Robert Stack gained a new lease of life by allowing themselves to be ridiculous while a series of brilliant, barely connected jokes zip by.
