Jane McDonald's Magical Morocco, 8 pm, Channel 5
In her final trip of the series, Jane McDonald’s destination is Marrakesh, where she’s booked into a beautiful riad, an oasis of calm in the bustling medina. On her to-do list is a walking tour with food stops (‘No, I can’t eat an eyeball!’), a trip by motorbike and sidecar to Koutoubia Mosque, some TLC in a hammam and a spot of haggling while shopping.
Jane ends her trip with a dune-buggy ride in the Agafay Desert and, of course, an accompanying rousing song. If you fancy a trip to Marrakesh, this episode is full of practical information about things such as tipping, booking tours and where not to shop. Jane’s most consistent advice to travellers? ‘Have a go!’

Guilt, 9 pm, BBC Two
Prepare for a white-knuckle ride in the last-ever episode of this superlative Scottish comedy drama. Max (Mark Bonnar) thinks he’s got things all figured out: he’s going to help detective Yvonne (Isaura Barbé-Brown) take down gangster Maggie Lynch (Phyllis Logan) while blackmailing bank boss Sir Jim Sturrock (Euan Macnaughton), ending up as a wealthy man whose enemies are all thoroughly neutered. He just needs brother Jake (Jamie Sives) to stick to the plan – but has he betrayed Jake one too many times? Enjoy this firecracker of a finale while it lasts. We’re going to miss this show very much.

Alexander Armstrong in Sri Lanka, 9 pm, Channel 5
The Pointless host explores a side of Sri Lanka that tourists don’t often see in his new tour around the paradise island. In this episode, Alexander tries durian fruit, helps disabled dogs take a dip in the ocean and shovels elephant poo that will be turned into paper. But the highlight is him taking part in his very own Sri Lankan-style exorcism, in which masked drummers and dancers ceremoniously try to expel his inner demons!
★★★ HD
Murderous secrets come to light in this thriller set amid the stunning turquoise seas of South East Asia. The seven-part drama series, based on the best-selling novel The Blue by Lucy Clarke, sees friends Lana (Tin Star’s Abigail Lawrie) and Kitty (The Outlaws’ Rhianne Barreto) on the run in the Philippines and taking refuge with strangers on board a yacht.
However, a flash-forward shows Lana being questioned by police when the yacht is discovered eerily empty floating off the coast of Australia. Tense, exciting and with a backdrop of exotic landscapes, it will pull you in straightaway, as you’re left wondering just what terrible event these girls are fleeing from and what’s happened on board.
