DIY SOS

8pm, BBC One
After first airing 26 years ago, Nick Knowles returned last week with the 34th series of his Bafta-winning home-transformation show – but there’s still a lot of heart behind the stories. This time, Nick, designer Gabrielle Blackman and their army of volunteers are helping Anna and Dan in south Wales, who need a home that supports Dan’s wheelchair and his rehabilitation following a car accident.

The OJ Simpson Trial: 30 Years On

9pm, Channel 5
There was a whole raft of reasons that an apparently foregone conclusion went the other way – and few of them had to do with the man on the stand. Were the “trial of the century” held today, the outcome might have been different, thanks to advances in DNA testing and more balanced juries. Here’s how the furious circus played out, infamous glove and all. Ali Catterall

How Are You? It’s Alan (Partridge)

9.30pm, BBC One
A recap of Alan’s career-break sojourn in the Middle East (“the glorious kingdom of Saudi Arabia enjoys a thriving camel milk sector”) is one of many fine moments as his exploration of mental health issues erratically continues. Elsewhere, he gets drunk at a women’s book group. Jack Seale

10pm, Channel 4
David Mitchell and Robert Webb’s sketch comedy comeback wraps up its first season, which has seen them admirably relinquish screen time (and killer lines) to their talented young co-stars. If the meta scenes in the show’s writing room have been scattershot there is no denying the F-bomb efficacy of recurring hoot Sweary Aussie Drama. Graeme Virtue

Peacemaker

10pm, Sky Max
One last chance to appreciate the cast’s hilariously stony-faced dance number during the opening credits as season two of the superhero satire reaches its finale. Bellicose baldy Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) popped up a couple of episodes ago, so could there be another surprise cameo before the dimension-smashing climax? GV

The Graham Norton Show

10.40pm, BBC One
Another star-studded instalment of Norton’s breezy gabfest. Top billing goes to Julia Roberts, fresh from working with acclaimed director Luca Guadagnino on provocative campus thriller After the Hunt. Colin Farrell, Benedict Cumberbatch and Gloria Estefan also squeeze on to the couch. GV
