Michael Palin in the Philippines<\/p>\n
9pm, Channel 5
Michael Palin remains an adventurous traveller in the Philippines, a complex and challenging country. He explores the chaotic soap opera generated by the Marcos family, now back in government thanks to the rise of Bongbong, the president \u2013 who turns out to be a Monty Python fan. Elsewhere, Palin sees the country\u2019s poverty, meeting a woman selling \u201crecycled chicken\u201d. Phil Harrison<\/p>\n
Jamie\u2019s 20 Minute Meals<\/p>\n
8pm, Channel 4
Jamie Oliver is back with a new gimmick: he\u2019s cooking his recipes in one single shot to offer proof of concept. It\u2019s not really necessary \u2013 as ever, while the man himself may be an acquired taste, his food (camembert and onion rice and a crispy chicken dish) looks both achievable and delicious.

Clickbait Clinic With Stacey Dooley<\/p>\n
8.30pm, BBC One
Is munching on a diet of only meat good for you? It sounds like a question that\u2019s too stupid to answer, but Dooley is determined to give it a fair crack. A lovable bodybuilder states his case for the carnivore diet, then doctors Nighat Arif and Alex George give their perspectives. Hannah Verdier<\/p>\n
Finding Britain\u2019s Slave Traders With David Olusoga<\/p>\n
9pm, BBC Two
The expansion of the slave trade in the 18th century spread wealth and commerce across Britain. In Bristol alone, social-climbing merchants and investors funded charities, built grand homes \u2013 and what ultimately became the Bristol Old Vic. \u201cInstitutions they knew would outlive them,\u201d as David Olusoga points out, in the second part of this furious two-part expos\u00e9.

The reality star begins his fourth series profiling the work of canine charity the Dogs Trust. It\u2019s heartstring-tugging business as usual, as Wicks meets a traumatised jack russell cross undergoing rehab for past trauma and a labrador hoping for a new life as an assistance dog. Hankies at the ready. Alexi Duggins<\/p>\n
Colin from Accounts<\/p>\n
10pm, BBC Two
We all know where this sublime romcom is going \u2013 but the journey is as much fun as the arrival. This penultimate episode once again proves that much of the show\u2019s hilarity is mined from real emotional heft. Ash attends her grandmother\u2019s funeral and, with feelings running high, decides it\u2019s time for her and Gordon to face facts. PH<\/p>\n

Based on the Pulitzer prize-winning novel by Colson Whitehead, RaMell Ross\u2019s sublime drama is, unusually, shot from the first-person point of view. It\u2019s a bold move that pays off, as we\u2019re immersed in the life of Elwood (Ethan Herisse), a Black student raised by his grandma (a standout Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor) in early 60s Florida. A miscarriage of justice sends him to a brutal, segregated reform school called the Nickel Academy. His only respite is a friendship with another inmate, Turner (Brandon Wilson), as he tries to work out how to live in a world intent on beating him down. Simon Wardell<\/p>\n
Immaculate (Michael Mohan, 2024), midnight, BBC Three
This ripe piece of nunsploitation from Michael Mohan owes a lot to Rosemary\u2019s Baby \u2013 but the evil forces at play here are entirely Christian. Controversy magnet Sydney Sweeney plays a young American who arrives at a rural Italian convent to take her vows. Soon, however, she falls mysteriously pregnant. \u201cIt\u2019s a miracle,\u201d proclaim the mother superior, doctor and priests (including Money Heist\u2019s \u00c1lvaro Morte) \u2013 but how did this virgin birth occur? With creaky doors and creepy sisters, it\u2019s classic, bloodily accomplished horror. SW<\/p>\n
