**Winter Olympics*
From 6am, BBC2
*
Live coverage of day three's events from Sochi. Today's highlights include freestyle skiing, culminating in the final of the men's moguls, short track and speed skating, women's luge, and the opening bouts of the curling – always a weirdly mesmerising spectacle – with Britain's men and women both in action. Also, we get a first glimpse of the traditionally dominant US and Canadian teams in the women's ice hockey, as they face off against Switzerland and Finland respectively. Andrew Mueller
**Benefits Street*
9pm, Channel 4*
How did we reach a pass at which it appears to be widely believed that the people most responsible for society's ills are those with the least power? Benefits Street, of which this is the final episode, is a debatably accurate portrayal of welfare claimants, but it has furnished, in the reactions to it, a terrifying illustration of a pervasive rage at the vulnerable. AM
**Jim Davidson: At Least I'm Not Boring*
9pm, Channel 5
*
The rehabilitation of an old-school comic continues. Having won Celebrity Big Brother, Jim Davidson gets the chance to discuss his life and career. Expect highs (his time hosting Big Break and The Generation Game), lows (his arrest as part of Operation Yewtree – he faced no charges) and, at a guess, not much in between because that would be boring. And at least Jim Davidson's not boring, which the oh-so-cheeky-chappy title here appears to suggest we should take as a recommendation. Hmmm. Jonathan Wright
**Danny Baker's Rockin' Decades – The Seventies*
9pm, BBC4*
The first in an incredibly moreish series of studio discussions encompassing three decades of rock. If tonight's 70s show begins with Baker misquoting John Lennon, it also ends with him cheerfully attaching dynamite to one or two received wisdoms (punk came along during a musical drought, etc). Meanwhile, former punks Peter Hook, Viv Albertine and Loyd Grossman (yep) join him for some predictably high-octane banter. Followed by compilation show Danny Baker Rocks The Seventies (A Bit). Ali Catterall
**The Walking Dead*
9pm, FOX *
After a mid-season finale that was a bloodbath even by the show's own claretty standards, The Walking Dead returns with the group splintered, the prison destroyed, and the cast trimmed of more than one regular fizzog. Plot details are under wraps, but Rick's focus will likely be on Little Ass Kicker after the discovery of her empty, blood-stained crib. Elsewhere, expect Carl to mope about, Glenn and Maggie to have relations in unwise locations, and Daryl and Michonne to continue to be generally excellent. As, hopefully, will the show itself. Luke Holland
**Uncle*
10pm, BBC3 *
Despite being hapless, jobless and generally hopeless, unconventional uncle Andy has trouble fighting off the ladies in the penultimate episode of the dark Brit comedy. With anxious young nephew Errol begrudgingly packed off on a school trip, Andy calls on sister Sam for help as Shelly, Gwen and Melodie vie for his attentions. However, with Sam preoccupied with replacing her frumpy Narcotics Anonymous sponsor, will Andy singlehandedly be able to manage the logistics of his unexpected lothario status? Hannah J Davies
**The Life Of Rock With Brian Pern*
10pm, BBC4*
BBC4 frequently wheels out ageing tunesmiths for rock retrospectives, but nothing on as grand a scale as this. Brian Pern of prog pioneers Thotch, more commonly known as The Fast Show's Simon Day, takes us through a three-part history of all things rock in this spoof series, featuring contributions from Jools Holland and Roger Taylor, as well as Vic and Bob's folk monsters Mulligan and O'Hare. Day and director Rhys Thomas have created an absolute treat for musos and comedy fans alike. Mark Jones
**Payday*
11pm, Channel 4*
If the children of the credit crunch share one common goal, it's to secure their financial future. Or so this film by director duo Nick Davies and Fred Scott seems to suggest, as the pair access Generation Recession by rifling through their wallets. It's a stylised affair – with spoken-word performer George the Poet reeling off verses about the action like a one-man Greek chorus – but also a gritty portrayal of the lives of four Croydon twentysomethings, ranging from window-cleaning boxer Ricky to homeless, unemployed Candice. Rachel Aroesti Reported by guardian.co.uk 2 hours ago.
