TV tonight: Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash invite you to Pickle Cottage
8pm, BBC One Pickle Cottage opens its doors for the newest celebrity fly-on-the-wall series. Golden couple Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash let the cameras in to their home for six months, as they raise their five children, two dogs and four ducks. The duo are easy to like – especially when the besotted Joe recalls the day they met ('I haven't been able to shake him since,' says Stacey) – in what can be described only as soft TV. It starts with them celebrating their wedding anniversary. Hollie Richardson 8pm, Channel 4 A second series for The Great Pottery Throw Down's Keith Brymer Jones and his actor partner, Marj Hogarth, as they transform a 163-year-old Pwllheli chapel into their dream home. They want to convert the Sunday school, but they need to deal with the rot problem first. HR 9pm, Sky History In the final episode of Bradley Walsh's ancient Egypt investigation, he meets Tutankhamun's dad, the 'alien pharaoh' Akhenaten (whose apparently elongated skull has given rise to out-there theories over the years), before discovering how huge rocks were ferried down the Nile for the construction of the pyramids. Ali Catterall 9pm, BBC Three The pro footballer turned hench influencer channels his inner Ross Kemp for this six-parter, embedding himself in various global hotspots to see how crime culture negatively affects the lives of young men. He begins in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where drug gangs operate with impunity while callow foot soldiers risk their lives for a pittance. Graeme Virtue 9pm, U&Gold Morrissey and Clunes continue their relaxed and amiable journey – some of it is simply them chatting over beers and food – by driving from Biarritz in south-western France (fish, sunshine) to the Pyrenees (cable cars, slipping over on ice). Morrissey's time as the voice of Bob the Builder provides some good anecdotes. Jack Seale 10pm, Channel 4 Bridget Christie's wonderfully strange menopause comedy continues. 'Linda's ledger' – a chore tracker that counts all the time women waste – is the hot topic still inspiring a revolution among local women. Could Linda's mardy sister Siobhain (Liza Tarbuck), who has come to stay, be persuaded to join them? HR Premier League football: Nottingham Forest v Manchester United 7pm, TNT Sports 1.

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.
