**Twenty20 Cricket: Australia v England*
8am, Sky Sports 2
*
The most sadistic of Australian fans must sympathise with England by this point: whitewashed in the Tests, trounced in the subsequent one-day series, now reduced to salvaging some dignity from three T20 games, of which this contest at Hobart's Bellerive Oval is the first. The relative lack of expectation here may coax England out of the shell in which they are now hunkered; time, perhaps, to let some potential sentinels of the next generation have a bash.
**The Restaurant Man*
8pm, BBC2
*
Russell Norman, of London's Polpo and Polpetto restaurants, is the titular Restaurant Man. Eschewing the aggro of a certain craggy chef in favour of a Beeny-esque gentle-nurturing style, he joins budding restaurateurs hoping to realise their dreams. First up are Matt and Rich, who want to take the capital's burger scene to Southampton with their faux dive bar 7Bone. It's a baptism of molten cheese, but at least Norman's not bellowing into their very souls in an effort to make them crave his respect.

**Midsomer Murders*
8pm, ITV1*
There must be easier ways to kill a man than smothering his torso in truffle oil and tying him to a tree to be mauled to death by wild boar. Nonetheless, that's the fate that befalls well-to-do farmer Martin Strickland. Swine aside, whodunnit? And why? And what's the connection to restaurant Wyvern House and its formidable chef, Ruth Cameron? ("There is only one star in this restaurant and it's me, not you!") A silly yet cunningly plotted tale of foodies, foraging and foul play. Guilty-pleasure entertainment. Jonathan Wright
**Outnumbered*
9pm, BBC1*
A fifth and final series for Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin's enduring sitcom. Modern life proves as irksome for Sue and Pete as ever: tempering the expectations of an increasingly gravelly voiced Ben ahead of his audition for Spartacus the Musical, guiding Karen through troubled times at school and dealing with a freshly inked-up Jake. The formula of Cute Kids Saying Cute seems slightly incongruous with a trio of t(w)eenagers chez Brockman, but they've earned this final furlong of hurrahs. Mark Jones
**Horizon: Sugar v Fat*
9pm, BBC2*
Determined to find out which evil macronutrient is responsible for expanding waistlines around the world, twin doctors Xand and Chris van Tulleken put themselves on trial. For one month, the brothers' brain power, physical stamina, weight and cholesterol are monitored as Xand indulges in a high-fat diet, while Chris gorges on sugary carbs. The results are inconclusive, but once the pair start speaking to scientists who've spent their lives studying weight gain, they get a fascinating, and seemingly definitive, answer. Rachel Aroesti
**Celebrity Big Brother: the Final*
9pm, Channel 5
*
It's the final of what's been one of the most fascinating series of CBB yet. Genius casting ranged from one-man controversy machine Evander Holyfield to Lee Ryan, a lothario so fumbling that he thought it would be a good idea to "romance" two women in an enclosed space. Characters such as Towie's motormouth Sam Faiers and blabbing columnist Liz Jones were silenced upon entering the house, while professional hat-wearer Dappy stole the limelight. Who wins? After all the lust and hysteria, who cares? Hannah Verdier
**Bones*
9pm, Sky Living
*
The season-nine premiere of Bones has the comedy-tinged procedural trundling on in familiar fashion. When the remains of an average joe government worker are discovered in a hotel air-conditioning unit, the presence of Booth's old army pal turned CIA agent Danny Beck (Freddie Prinze Jr) signals an unexpected twist in the tale. There are grim discoveries and shifty suspects aplenty, as well as a rough patch for agents "Bones" Brennan and Booth, whose relationship was rocked by fugitive Pelant at the end of last season. Hannah J Davies
**This Is Jinsy*
10pm, Sky Atlantic
*
For pure imagination, there's currently little to match Chris Bran and Justin Chubb's sitcom about the parochial island vaguely inspired by their native Guernsey. This week, the ineffectually autocratic Arbiter Maven tries to stop residents from celebrating the festival of Nacken. They ignore him, sneaking off to the Moosic tavern for a night of revelry, with entertainment provided by Master Croog and Rex Camalbeeter. Trouble ensues, however, when a certain someone is awoken. Rob Brydon guests. David Stubbs Reported by guardian.co.uk 1 day ago.
