Pick of the day: Masters of interior design for children in need
8pm, BBC One
Alan Carr sees his name removed from the title and replaced with Children in need for the first celebrity edition of the interior design competition. It sees six “celebrity.land celebrities” of different types come together to transform a support center for young carers near West Bromwich, with Michelle Ogundehin and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen judging and Carr solving the jokes. Comedians Joanna McNally, Jon Richardson and Darren Harriott are joined by the model and Shine presenter Leomie Anderson and her husband and wife Martin and Shirlie Kemp to transform a couple of rooms each; Richardson started by painting a wall the wrong color.
The Great British Bake Off
8:00 p.m., Channel 4
Alison Hammond travels in a space hopper to present Seventies Week, and only Gill of the five remaining bakers survived the decade in question. The signature bake is a stack of 30 profiteroles with, Noel Fielding jokes, “a 70s flavour: prawn cocktail…charcoal…”. The technique consists of making a banoffee cake, whose ingredients come without instructions of any kind, before a spectacular alcoholic cake.

You probably remember the police body camera footage of Virginia McCullough, who was jailed last month for killing her parents, telling the arresting officers, “You got the bad guy.” McCullough murdered his parents, Lois and John, in June 2019 and then lived with their bodies for the next four years. But how and why?
Storyville: Kingdom of the Kingdom
10pm, BBC Four
The latest documentary from the always excellent Villastales strand follows Gena Marvin, an incredibly brave 21-year-old non-binary Russian artist, who began walking around Moscow in outrageous and rather fabulous costumes made from duct tape, creating extraordinary street performances that challenged the machismo of the Putin regime, the violence against the LGBTQ+ community and the then-imminent war in Ukraine. Gena, frequently beaten on the streets of Moscow, escaped to Paris after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Black Sands
10:00 p.m., U&Alibi
Now that the clocks have gone back, it seems like a good time to welcome the return of this dimly lit, glacially slow but very intense Scandi noir, set near the world-famous black sand beach of Reynisfjara in Iceland. Our lead detective, Anita, is a disgraced cop from a big city (well, Reykjavík) sent back to her childhood town, which has become the aforementioned tourist trap. The second season finds her struggling to raise her daughter, while a historic foster home abuse case requires investigation. The complicated thing is that the house belongs to Anita’s grandmother.
