Doctor Who
6.30pm, BBC One
Russell T Davies pens another special episode as part of the sci-fi series’ 60th anniversary, with newly reunited David Tennant and Catherine Tate continuing their adventure. This time, the Tardis goes out of control and takes them on a journey in which they end up desperately fighting for their lives. Oh, and there’s the ever so small problem of the fate of the universe being at stake. Hollie Richardson
Greg LeMond: The Last Rider
7pm, Sky Documentaries
Everyone loves a comeback story and this is one of sport’s greatest. In 1987, the promising career of US cyclist Greg LeMond was cut short when he was accidentally shot during a hunting trip. In fact, LeMond still had some way to go until his finish line, as this fascinating feature documentary lays out. Ellen E Jones
Strictly Come Dancing: Musicals Special
7.25pm, BBC One
It’s musicals week (AKA the best week), which is going to see Bobby and Dianne salsa to Dirty Dancing, Nigel and Katya do the charleston to Mary Poppins, Ellie and Vito quickstep to Beauty and the Beast, and Annabel and Johannes foxtrot to Wicked. A place in the semi-final is up for grabs. HR
Hidden Assets
9pm, BBC Four
New season, new danger – including a cyber-security breach in Ireland’s Criminal Assets Bureau (“The hackers have released personal information of a serving CAB officer; the officer in question is you”). Meanwhile, as the crime drama returns, a company boss is found dead in Antwerp, there’s a new detective in charge, and things are literally hotting up for Bibi. Superbly dark and twisted. Ali Catterall
Lockerbie
9pm, Sky Documentaries
In the second episode, the effect of the bombing continues to ripple as the victims’ families demand answers about it being a terror attack (one woman needed to explain to her young child that his father was murdered). It begins to delve into the sprawling translatlantic investigation through two FBI agents at the heart of the story. HR
Bob Dylan: Shadow Kingdom
10pm, BBC Two
A treat for Dylanologists, this artfully shot, black-and-white showcase captures the veteran singer-songwriter in a smoky, small club setting in summer 2021 – face masks are still being worn by his backing musicians. A wide-ranging set features newer songs alongside classics including It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue. Phil Harrison

You Are Not My Mother, 11.40pm, Film4
In her arresting debut feature, Irish writer-director Kate Dolan explores the world of mental illness through horror tropes, specifically the darker corners of Celtic myth. Hazel Doupe plays lonely, bullied teenager Char, whose mother Angela (a superbly on-edge performance from Carolyn Bracken) appears to have manic depression. As Halloween approaches, Angela’s behaviour becomes dangerously erratic – but is the cause psychological or, as Char’s pagan-leaning granny believes, rooted in the supernatural? Dolan, one of a new wave of accomplished horror film-makers in Ireland, maintains the mystery for as long as possible as the family fracture. Simon Wardell
Fargo, 9pm, Great! Movies
The TV offshoot may have lost its lustre over five seasons, but Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1996 black comedy is still as biting as the icy weather that batters its Minnesota location. Indebted car salesman Jerry (a weasely William H Macy) hires two low-rent criminals – a classic double act of chatty Carl (Steve Buscemi) and silent Gaear (Peter Stormare) – to kidnap his wife for a ransom to be paid by his rich father-in-law. Frances McDormand is terrific as folksy but focused sheriff Marge, who gets on their tail as his plot goes comically, bloodily wrong. Oh Jeez! SW
Jackie Brown, 9.40pm, Dave
The least extravagant of Quentin Tarantino’s movies, this 1997 crime caper sidelines his usual stylistic trickery for the equally satisfying scams and double-crosses of Elmore Leonard’s source novel. There’s also more heart than he typically manages, with revitalised stars of yesteryear Pam Grier and Robert Forster adding pathos and experience to their portrayals. She’s a flight attendant caught by the Feds illegally carrying cash for Samuel L Jackson’s arms dealer; he’s the bail bondsman drawn into helping her escape her predicament. SW
