The gentle art of Swedish death cleansing

9pm, W
We can learn a lot about life from this Swedish team, who are basically the Marie Kondos for people preparing for death. Amy Poehler narrates a surprisingly uplifting documentary series that takes the Swedish death-cleaning method from Margareta Magnusson’s book (“Remove your crap so others don’t have to when you’re dead”) and puts it into practice in the United States – starting with 75-year-old Suzi, who has to part with her collection of phallic souvenirs.

Tom Kerridge cooks Britain

8:30pm, ITV1
To Hexham in Northumberland to source some good old British beef for a rib eye steakā€¦ and where the cattle are not easily intimidated. We also meet a cute German shepherd rolling ecstatically in the manure. Then it’s on to Lancashire where Tom searches for, well, “Toms” to whip up a delicious flatbread with roasted tomatoes and whipped feta. Ali Catterall

Douglas is discontinued

9pm, ITV1
Steven Moffat’s cancel culture drama becomes a nail-biter as we learn more about Madeline (Karen Gillan) – the co-host who may throw Douglas (Hugh Bonneville) under the bus. There are flashbacks to when she first met her idol Douglas and was desperately trying to break into television journalism at any cost. human Resource

So help me, Todd

9pm, Alibi
The mother-son legal drama returns for a second season filled with workplace tensions and dysfunctional family disputes. This week’s pretexts for snappy, comic exchanges include Todd’s attempt to open his own private detective agency and the case of a news anchor who is murdered live on screen. Alex Duggins

Outrageous houses

10pm, Channel 4
This is the final installment in Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen’s weird-wonderful home decorating series, and he ends it in typically offbeat style. A mock medieval castle in Weston-super-Mare, a ‘house of skulls’, a former council housing building with rooms representing different countries, and a ‘neon utopia’ are all on the agenda for exploration. human Resource

Paul Whitehouse’s sketch show years

10pm, Gold
We’ve arrived in the ’90s, a decade when comedy catchphrases became more “the unofficial language of Britain” than ever before. Among other joys, it reminds us of how quietly groundbreaking Smack the Pony was, how much genuine pathos there was in The Fast Show and how much the late, great Felix Dexter will be missed. air conditioner
