Being low-key, a bit old-fashioned and without distinguishing features hasn\u2019t stopped this John Simm vehicle, set in and around Brighton, surviving to a sixth season. Episode one is an inessential-ITV-crime-drama crossover, as Grantchester\u2019s Rishi Nair appears as the husband of a woman who has vanished, for reasons not initially clear. Jack Seale<\/p>\n<p>The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">7.40pm, Channel 4 <br \/>To watch Celebrity Bake Off is to ease into a state of complete relief, as you realise that the stakes are really, really low. This week, former child star Jojo Siwa admits she\u2019s never baked before, comedian Bab\u00e1t\u00fand\u00e9 Al\u00e9sh\u00e9 provides lashings of humour, and the tray bakes are crumbling. Influencer Molly-Mae Hague is the only one taking things seriously. Micha Frazer-Carroll<\/p>\n<p>The Other Bennet Sister<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">8pm, BBC One <br \/>More fun with the Pride &amp; Prejudice spin-off, focusing on bookish Mary (Ella Bruccoleri), who is about to make her debut in London. She takes a liking to outgoing Mr Ryder (Laurie Davidson) but snotty Caroline Bingley (Tanya Reynolds) is lurking around too \u2013 and planning sabotage by requesting for Mary to sing. HR<\/p>\n<p>The Capture<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">9pm, BBC One <br \/>\u201cI can\u2019t drive across London with a man tied up in my boot!\u201d The moreish deep state thriller thunders onwards, with Holliday Grainger\u2019s exasperated surveillance maven pursuing her own off-the-books murder investigation. Meanwhile, the SO15 team take a crack at Whitlock, their xenophobic prime suspect. Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n<p>The Hunt: Prey vs Predator<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">9pm, Channel 4<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">This TV equivalent of The Hunger Games continues. Sadly, unlike the movie trilogy, it\u2019s unlikely to inspire a revolution, but there are nonetheless power games-a-plenty as the predators team up to try to take down a player, alliances splinter, and the power dynamics are flipped on their head. Business as usual, then. Alexi Duggins<\/p>\n<p>Boarders<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">10pm, BBC Three<\/p>\n<p>Feeling the heat \u2026 Boarders.  Photograph: BBC\/Studio Lambert\/Alistair Heap<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Thrust into the pressure cooker of finals, tensions are rising. In the penultimate episode of the last ever season, Omar is caught in some lies concerning the art show and his true feelings for Jonny; Femi stands to lose his internship; and Leah\u2019s singular focus rubs everyone up the wrong way. Priya Elan<\/p>\n<p>Film choice<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Creed III (Michael B Jordan, 2023), 10.20pm, ITV1<\/p>\n<p>Dependably excellent \u2026 Creed III. Photograph: FlixPix\/Alamy<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">So the third film in a series which is itself spun off from Sylvester Stallone\u2019s long-running Rocky saga might not sound particularly enticing, but there\u2019s nothing like a right hook from the champ to snap us out of our franchise fatigue. Michael B Jordan, this year\u2019s best actor Oscar winner, is dependably excellent as Adonis \u201cDonny\u201d Creed, and now he\u2019s directing too, with several scenes worthy of both Stallone and Ryan Coogler\u2019s imprimatur. Here Donny faces off against a foe from his hard-knock past (Jonathan Majors), whose challenge brings up issues.
