The Guardian's TV guide for tonight highlights the new series of Taskmaster on Channel 4 at 9pm, with comedian Richard Ayoade joining the line-up and displaying characteristic deadpan disdain for the show's tasks. He is joined by fellow comics Chloe Petts, Isy Suttie, Nina Conti and Matt Lucas, with the reviewer noting the format remains reliably entertaining despite being in its 22nd series. Elsewhere, the listings cover a mix of factual, drama and film programming across several channels.

Other picks include home renovation show Fixer Upper-style programming from Nottingham on Channel 4, a vet series on Channel 5 featuring a sunburnt bull and a python, and the concluding episode of A House Through Time on BBC Two, in which David Olusoga traces an Edinburgh house's history into the present day. Drama choices include boxing thriller on Sky Atlantic and a crime series on U&Dave, while Sean Baker's Oscar-winning film Anora is recommended on Netflix from Thursday.
