More spatula wars in the tent, as celebrities Rebecca Lucy Taylor (AKA Self Esteem), Tommy Tiernan, Meera Syal and Adam Buxton need to impress with their take on crumpets, perfectly piped icing and a pastry inspired by their celebrity heroes.

Ten Pound Poms

The Australia-set period drama – somewhere between Call the Midwife and Neighbours – reaches its penultimate episode, and it’s a shocker for Annie (Faye Marsay).

This City Is Ours
9pm, BBC One
A shock death creates panic and a power vacuum for the gang. Or is this just the opportunity Michael (James Nelson-Joyce) has been waiting for? First things first, though: a body needs to be smuggled back to Liverpool, resulting in an excruciatingly tense ferry crossing. And that’s before we even get to the funeral. Ellen E Jones
Tribe With Bruce Parry
9pm, BBC Two
Angola is a country that, due to the civil war between 1975 and 2002, has been closed off to visitors. But Bruce Parry has been invited to the Namib desert, where the heat reaches 50C. There, he watches a teeth-removal ritual and circumcision ceremonies, then is tasked with sacrificing a goat by his own hand. HR

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, 10pm, BBC Two
An interesting study in contrasts could be made between Gary Oldman’s performance as a slovenly MI5 operative in the acclaimed TV series Slow Horses and his serious-minded, tight-lipped George Smiley in Tomas Alfredson’s superbly finessed 2011 drama. John le Carré’s thriller novel about the hunt for a Soviet mole in MI6 must have been difficult to squeeze into a two-hour film but the plot here is almost seamless. And Oldman is magnetic alongside a top-notch cast including Tom Hardy, Colin Firth and Kathy Burke. Simon Wardell
Weathering With You, 1.20am, Film4
After the global success of Your Name (showing on Saturday), Makoto Shinkai doubled down on the teen romance angle in this delightful animated fantasy. Hodaka is a runaway 16-year-old boy in a permanently rainy Tokyo who comes across “sunshine girl” Hina. She has the magical ability to banish the stormclouds, so they go into business conjuring blue skies for weddings, sports days and the like. But Hina’s skill comes at a heavy cost. A film worth watching just for the play of light, clouds and rain, but as a tale of first love it is just as illuminating. SW
