TV tonight: a hilarious and heart-tugging finale for Big Boys
10pm, Channel 4 Jack Rooke's semi-fictional comedy drama is a joyride of great gags, but at the heart of it have always been the heavier themes of mental health and grief. So prepare for the closing double-bill finale, as Danny (Jon Pointing) grapples with the end of university and thoughts of the future. Pointing, along with Dylan Llewellyn, who plays his best mate Jack, has been spectacular in telling this story – and it gets a fittingly poignant (but still hilarious) ending. Hollie Richardson 7pm, Sky Nature Planet Weird has set itself a UFC-worthy challenge this week: to show us the most gruesome and bizarre forms of wildlife combat. Fortunately, there's no shortage of that in the animal kingdom. Standouts include neck-wrestling giraffes, a spider who dominates then devours their prey, and even the unassuming koala … who is not so cuddly, after all. Ellen E Jones 8.05pm, BBC One Another week, another set of quietly subversive goings-on at Nonnatus House. Joyce (Renee Bailey) anxiously awaits her disciplinary hearing – when, in fact, she is the one who has been the victim of vile racist abuse. Meanwhile, a young couple who have struggled with addiction prepare for the arrival of their second child. Hannah J Davies 9pm, ITV1 This hardy cold-case perennial has looked its age at various points during its sixth series but its climax over the next two nights should still be gripping. In this penultimate episode, arrests are made – but with lies abounding, hardly anyone seems to believe that's the end of the matter. Meanwhile, Jess and Steve prepare for a showdown. Phil Harrison 9pm, BBC Four As with most of his pieces, Edward Elgar hid a riddle in Enigma Variations – and it is yet to be conclusively solved! The masterpiece is performed here by the BBC Philharmonic at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, in a programme that is completed by Arvo Pärt's Swansong. HR 9.05pm, BBC One A weepy but uplifting end to the drama inspired by Jane Austen's sister Cassandra, who in real life burned the author's private letters. As Cassandra (Keeley Hawes) remembers Jane's (Patsy Ferran) final years of ill health, in the present she sets out on a mission to find their niece a new home – and it involves some good old Austen-esque matchmaking. HR Premier League Football: Newcastle v Nottingham Forest, 1pm, Sky Sports Main Event Man City v Liverpool is at 4pm. Super League Rugby: Leigh v Huddersfield, 2.15pm, BBC Two At Leigh Sports Village.

Whether the setting is southern Italy, where as a boy he has a crush on his parents' cabinetmaker, or a snowbound campus in New England, where his enduring passion for a girl he'll meet again and again over the years is punctuated by anonymous encounters with men—whether he's on a tennis court in Central Park or on a New York sidewalk in early spring. Paul's attachments are ungraspable, transient, and forever underwritten by raw desire. Ahead of every step Paul takes, his hopes, denials, fears, and regrets are always ready to lay their traps. Yet the dream of love lingers. We may not always know what we want. We may remain enigmas to ourselves and to others. But sooner or later, we discover who we've always known we were.'
