Pride of Britain Awards 2024

8pm, ITV1
Tissues at the ready for one of the most emotional nights on the TV calendar: the Pride of Britain Awards will put the spotlight on everyday heroes for its 25th year. Plenty of celebrities will be in attendance at the Grosvenor House hotel in London to pay tribute and hand out awards to the winners, while Carol Vorderman and Ashley Banjo host the evening.

A House Through Time: Two Cities at War

9pm, BBC Two

In the years running up to the second world war, SS officer Paul Dittel lived in Berlin’s Pfalzburger Strasse, side by side with some of the Jewish people whose lives he would go on to destroy. Historian David Olusoga continues his utterly fascinating series by looking at the residents of that building, as well as those in London’s Montagu Mansions, and their stories about the war. HR

Taskmaster

9pm, Channel 4
A devious bellringing assignment, a tricky team challenge and a randomised race involving fortune cookies push some of this series’ excellent intake of comic talent towards breaking point. Before all that, there is a musical interlude courtesy of Jack Dee. Graeme Virtue

Sweetpea

9pm, Sky Atlantic
Next on Sweetpea’s kill list: beautiful, successful and popular Julia, who tormented her when they were kids and “didn’t peak at high school like bullies are supposed to”. But first, her infuriating newspaper colleague Jeff might regret taking the byline for the murder report she gave him (ie the one for which she was the perpetrator). HR

Everyone Else Burns

10pm, Channel 4
Poor Rachel: having initially approached the idea of church-authorised dating with all the enthusiasm of a dead crab, she’s now fighting to get her parents’ approval of unexpectedly sexy Jeb. Meanwhile, when the church’s lease expires, David volunteers his own house as the order’s new place of worship – but doesn’t bother to tell Fiona. Oops. Ali Catterall

Brassic

10pm, Sky Max
True romance, Brassic-style, as – in a manner very typical of this scrappy comedy drama – Carol discovers a serious impediment to her forthcoming nuptials: she’s already married. This forgotten liaison proves predictably awkward. Meanwhile, Cardi’s mum returns and more wedding bells are in the air as a sceptical Cardi is asked to be her maid of honour. Phil Harrison
