8pm, BBC One Alan Carr sees his name is bumped off the title and replaced by Children in Need for the first ever celebrity edition of the interior design contest . It sees six varyingly “famous faces” being paired up to transform a young carer support centre near West Bromwich, with Michelle Ogundehin and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen judging and Carr cracking the gags. Comedians Joanna McNally, Jon Richardson and Darren Harriott are joined by model and Glow Up host Leomie Anderson and husband and wife Martin and Shirlie Kemp to transform a pair of rooms each – Richardson starting out by painting a wall in the wrong colour.
8pm, Channel 4 Alison Hammond rides a space hopper to introduce Seventies Week – with only Gill of the five remaining bakers having been alive in the decade in question. The signature bake is a stack of 30 profiteroles with, Noel Fielding jests, “a 1970s flavour: prawn cocktail..
. coal..
.”. The technical is to make a banoffee pie, whose ingredients come with no instructions whatsoever, before a boozy gateau showstopper.
9.15pm, Channel 4 Perkins heads to Strasbourg, where she embraces her inner renaissance, finds her true calling as a mermaid and bathes in a tub of beer. Her adventure then shifts gears as she takes to the road to Munich in a luxury sports car.
On arrival, she unleashes her creative side with a spot of spray painting, before finishing off in style as a Bavarian dancer on a Munich Pride float. Never a dull moment, it seems. 10pm, Chann.
