Michael Palin in Nigeria

9pm, Channel 5

It’s the final week of Palin’s 1,300-mile journey across Nigeria, and he’s heading south to Benin City. As soon as he arrives, a local woman shares her strong feelings about statues there that are a reminder of British forces burning down the city in 1897. Thousands of bronze artefacts were also taken, which are still on display in the British Museum, and the city wants them back. Later, there is jollof rice for lunch and time to reflect.

Interior Design Masters With Alan Carr

8pm, BBC One

It’s concrete fanboy Matt v colourful maximalist Roisin in this final interiors showdown. Their task is to make over an entire holiday lodge in the grounds of Blenheim Palace, while honouring the grand Oxfordshire mansion’s 300-year history. But has Roisin really learned how to hold back? And can brutalist Matt make concessions for comfort? Ellen E Jones

Aldi’s Next Big Thing

8pm, Channel 4

Another gang of artisan food producers compete for two parallel prizes: nominally they’re trying to get Aldi to stock their product nationwide, but everyone whose grub looks good on TV can brace for an influx of online orders. Among the contenders here are a Philippine banana ketchup, a kebab marinade and a jackfruit ready meal. Jack Seale

Dinosaur

9pm, BBC Three

Ashley Storrie stars as prickly but lovable Nina, who finally has a date with the hot drinks vendor. One problem: it clashes with Evie’s wedding dress fitting, which she’d know if she hadn’t muted the group chat. A series of mini disasters and jokes about palaeontologists provide charming comedy.
