Best TV shows on TV tonight
Killing Eve, season 4, 9.15pm, BBC One
After four series of brutal murders, intense cat-and-mouse chases and lashings of wonderfully biting humour, it’s finally time to say goodbye to Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer), but, unsurprisingly, they’re not bowing out quietly. Realising that The Twelve are due to gather for a meeting, which might be the perfect chance to bring them down once and for all, Eve and Villanelle, in some hilarious but also poignant scenes, team up to try to complete their mission. Meanwhile, as chickens come home to roost for Carolyn, she sets her own plans in motion. But danger is looming…

TOTP: The Story of 1996, 8pm, BBC Two
This week’s look back at a year through the prism of Top of the Pops and the music trends of the era takes in 1996, when Los Del Rio’s Macarena became an earworm and Peter Andre needed a police escort en route to the TOTP studios. The Blur/Oasis feud continued, Three Lions became a hopeful hit and Take That split up (there was a helpline). Meanwhile, five girls performed for the first time on TOTP via satellite from Japan when their single Wannabe shot into the charts at No 3… You can see the Spice Girls’ subsequent performances in The Spice Girls at the BBC at 10pm.

Celebrity Catchpoint, 6.45pm, BBC One
Paddy McGuinness returns with a celebrity version of the energetic game show. For the uninitiated, it involves getting a question right and then catching different-sized balls to bank cash for charity, which means there’s a lot of running and leaping! This first episode sees Drag Race stars The Vivienne and Tia Kofi competing against Radio 1 DJs Scott Mills and Chris Stark, while other celebs taking part later in the series include H and Faye from Steps and celebrity couple Martin and Shirlie Kemp.
★★★ MD
Casualty, 8.35pm, BBC One
It’s a day of reckoning for Stevie and Matthew, as their sexual harassment hearing gets under way. Unceasingly sarcastic Stevie does herself no favours by failing to take it seriously – something Colleen from HR (Keeping Faith’s Eiry Thomas) relays to Dylan. Matthew, meanwhile, struggles to keep his distressing PTSD flashbacks under wraps. Before revealing Colleen’s decision, Dylan confronts Stevie, resulting in a delicious war of words between the two bitingly abrupt medics. Stevie’s left with more than one flea in her ear… but does she still have a job? Elsewhere, Paige returns, to Rash’s delight!

Best box set to watch on TV tonight
Idris Elba's Fight School, season 1, BBC iPlayer
When Idris Elba was a young man growing up in London, he could easily have fallen into a life of crime, but says boxing helped to keep him on the straight and narrow. Now, the Luther star is setting up a fight school to give eight British youngsters from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to transform their lives in a similar way, while he watches from ringside. It’s an opportunity that most of the recruits are determined to grab with both hands, and it’s clear Idris sees something of his younger self in each of them. All five episodes are now available on BBC iPlayer.

The Spy Who Came In from the Cold, 9pm, GREAT! Movies Classic
The first and arguably still the best adaptation of a John le Carré story stars Richard Burton as a spy pretending to resign so as to tempt the other side into recruiting him. But will they take the bait? A Cold War classic shot deliberately in black and white to make espionage look as unlike James Bond as possible.
