TV tonight: time for some more telly joy with Alan Carr
The Celebrity Traitors winner returns with his fun gameshow. Plus: grungy action in French war drama The Sentinels. Here’s what to watch this evening
Alan Carr’s Picture Slam
6.05pm, BBC One
Alan Carr has ascended to national treasure status over the course of this gameshow’s evolution but, now in its fourth series, it’s good to know he hasn’t forgotten his roots. What we have is basically a pepped-up variant of shiny floor staple Catchphrase where teams compete to identify a screen full of images with £10k on the line. The first contenders come from London, south Wales and Motherwell. Phil Harrison
Alexander Armstrong Across America
8pm, Channel 5
In the concluding part of the Pointless presenter’s amble through the US, he reaches Florida. There he digs out a couple of interesting curios, exploring the legacy of the cocaine boom in Miami and meeting a former Maga supporter who explains why he lost faith in Donald Trump. PH
Casualty
8.20pm, BBC One
Miles away from Holby’s emergency department, medic Dylan hunches in his battered Land Rover and girds himself for a rocky family reunion. Back at base, the emotive storyline about toxic waste causing serious health issues on a local estate sees staff nurse Jodie preparing to confront the council. Graeme Virtue
The Sentinels
9pm, BBC Four
In the alternative history of this grungy French drama, a covert cadre of superhuman soldiers fought in the first world war. The latest double bill sees the Sentinels granted some downtime after capturing a German spy – but it increasingly looks as if the other side have an armoured mega-commando of their own. GV
TOTP: Big Hits 2001
10pm, BBC Two
This collection promises archive performances from 00s musical icons including Nelly Furtado, Missy Elliott and Destiny’s Child. Brit boyband Blue also feature, shortly after a retrospective in which they watch back their first ever Top of the Pops appearance – and realise the first two verses had been dubbed. Alexi Duggins
TOTP: The Story of 2001
11pm, BBC Two
There are significant arrivals in the world of TOTP in the latest of these cheerful nostalgia-fests. It’s a rock year, with the likes of Feeder and Dandy Warhols in the studio. But 2001 also welcomed a new strain of UK music: So Solid Crew were outriders for the UK garage scene, which would become increasingly influential. PH
Film choice
Wicked Little Letters, 9pm, Channel 4
When anonymous poison pen letters are sent to prim coastal town resident Edith (Olivia Colman), suspicion falls on her neighbour Rose (Jessie Buckley), an Irish single mother with a boisterous, proto-feminist attitude. There is something inherently hilarious about Colman swearing, and Thea Sharrock’s 1920s-set comedy ladles on the insults as the writer’s vitriol widens to the whole community. Behind the curtain-twitching scandal is a cautionary tale about bullying and repression, but watching Colman and Buckley go at it is almost enough in itself. Simon Wardell
Jurassic Park, 10.50pm, ITV1
The recent death of Sam Neill is a massive loss to cinema, but he was so prolific that there will always be a good-to-great film of his around to keep his memory alive. The first posthumous one to appear is his best known – Steven Spielberg’s fun family sci-fi adventure. Neill plays a palaeontologist invited by Richard Attenborough’s industrialist to his island to study dinosaurs he has revived through DNA trickery. What could possibly go wrong? Finely balanced between wonder and jeopardy, it’s the supreme crowd-pleaser. SW
