Ellie & Natasia

10pm, BBC Two

This excellent sketch show refuses to outstay its welcome: the third episode is also the last. But as a consequence, its hit rate is high, and when it’s good, it’s hilarious. The pair are gloriously daft but retain a keen eye for absurd modern manners: check their po-faced, all-female reimagining of Only Fools and Horses (“the repetition of the word ‘plonker’ actually felt quite problematic to us”).

The Future With Hannah Fry

7.30pm, BBC Two

The mathematician investigates how technology is helping scientists decode animal communication, from African elephants to sea lions and a “talking” dog in California.

Celebrity Race Across the World

8pm, BBC One

After a short delay waiting for Peter Andre’s children to catch up, the vaguely famous travellers embark on the second leg of the journey across Borneo. Cane it down the main road or choose an apparently more circuitous route? With most of the contestants apparently more interested in seeing exotic primates than getting from A to B quickly, it doesn’t much matter. Jack Seale

Portrait Artist of the Year 2026

8pm, Sky Arts

Another group of celebrities arrive for a sitting as this competition gets into its stride. This time, host Stephen Mangan invites Rylan Clark, Alison Balsom and Jamie Lloyd into the studio. It’s a cheerful and interesting affair, balancing irreverence and just about enough artistic seriousness. PH

Murder in Belfast: Sisters Seeking Justice

9pm, BBC Two

The second part of a family’s search for justice after the IRA-related murder of Robert McCartney outside a Belfast pub in 2005. “The public are very fickle and you’ll be forgotten about next week,” his sister Gemma recalls Gerry Adams allegedly saying. But as names of the killers came to light, the story would make its way to the White House. Hollie Richardson

Rob & Romesh vs Bowling USA

9pm, Sky One

You’ve probably fallen in love with “Robesh” all over again after The Celebrity Traitors. In this episode, they investigate bowling – which, as Rom observes, is basically the “US darts”. Pros treat it with reverence, as evidenced when the bantering duo meet “the pro with the fro”, Kyle Troup (he’s white). Priya Elan
