Becoming Elizabeth
9.15pm, Channel 4
Henry VIII’s children were always destined to be a bit messed up. As this juicy drama about the years leading to Elizabeth Tudor’s ascension to the throne continues, a teenage Elizabeth finds herself caught between her very Protestant brother (and the new king) Edward and her very Catholic sister Mary. It’s Christmas, too, which means that any family disputes are bound to be brought to the fore during the not-so-merriments. Hollie Richardson
The Hit List
6.05pm, BBC One
Keeping it in the family this week, a father and daughter from Bradford, two friends from Surrey, and a married couple from Swansea are the contestants ready to name as many hit songs and artists as possible in this watchable music quiz hosted by Marvin and Rochelle Humes. HR
Pointless Celebrities
7.35pm, BBC One
Another assemblage of famous faces join Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman, eager to dredge usefully obscure answers from the depths of their knowledge. Among the duos striving to win cash for charity this week are TV presenters Sarah Cawood and Matthew Wright and comics Maisie Adam and Emily Lloyd-Saini. Graeme Virtue
Moneyball
8pm, ITV1
Ian Wright returns to host this curious hybrid of quizshow and pinball. Contestants shoot a ball up the side of a huge digital screen, hoping it comes to rest next to a cash prize rather than a “danger” icon. £250,000 is up for grabs for the lucky winners in a game that will hopefully feel less gimmicky the longer it runs.

Champion
9.15pm, BBC One
Candice Carty-Williams’s south London rap drama continues, and the performances of its ace original songs are starting to overshadow a stagnant plot. Vita’s career is still on the up, while Bosco’s mental health takes a serious dip. Honey, meanwhile, is now looking for an opportunity of her own. HR
Crime
10pm, ITV1
As this self-consciously dark but slightly generic cop drama approaches its endgame, the troubled DI Lennox (Dougray Scott) finds a clue suggesting that Mr Confectioner is still at large. With that in mind, Lennox persuades Toal to allow CCTV surveillance of murder victim Britney’s funeral. Will the killer come to them? Phil Harrison
Film choice
Quadrophenia, 10.50pm, BBC Two
Franc Roddam’s cult British film is based on an album by the Who, but their songs are mostly background to a straight kitchen-sink drama of teenage rebellion. Phil Daniels stars as Jimmy, a mod in 1964 west London who’s up for a scrap with any rockers there or, come the weekend, in Brighton. The tribal nature of his and his friends’ lives is fascinating – from their music and clothes to the Lambrettas they race around on and the amphetamines they pop. A young supporting cast includes Ray Winstone, Toyah Willcox and, preening away as the coolest mod Ace Face, Sting. Simon Wardell
