TV tonight: Jimmy Carr’s controversial art destruction show

Jimmy Carr Destroys Art

9.15pm, Channel 4

The controversial comic fronts another headline-grabbing show with a morally questionable premise. A studio audience will decide whether Carr should destroy artworks by a range of problematic artists including Pablo Picasso, Rolf Harris, Eric Gill and Adolf Hitler. Will the gambit prove desperate or irreverent? Sammy Gecsoyler

The Great British Bake Off

8pm, Channel 4

Flan united: after the horrors of last week’s Halloween special, will custard week be haunted by the ghost of lumpy school desserts past? The delightful Syabira is on a remarkable winning streak but the judges are not making things easy, as Prue Leith’s seemingly summery technical challenge comes with a fiendish timing twist. Graeme Virtue

Louis Theroux Interviews… Stormzy

9.15pm, BBC Two

Guards are let down in this intimate hour between Theroux and the award-winning British grime artist – the first of six episodes in a new series where the veteran broadcaster meets celebrities. Stormzy is frank and upfront about fame, dating and music. We meet his mum, Abigail, and see inside his home (where a revealing encounter happens), and Theroux, who is always game, even joins him on tour. Insightful and probing. Sammy Gecsoyler

Frankie Boyle’s New World Order

10pm, BBC Two

A sixth series for a topical comedy showcase that’s as close to radicalism as TV satire allows itself to get. Boyle, whose guests are usually more interesting and diverse than the regular panel-show roster, is likely to succeed in being even ruder about the Tories than everyone else currently is. Jack Seale

Make Me Prime Minister

10.30pm, Channel 4

It’s semi-final time, and the six candidates left are tasked with tackling crime – with only three spots in next week’s final. Krishnan Guru-Murthy is waiting to grill them, so settle in for another squeamish hour of cringe. HR

Industry

10.40pm, BBC One

Everyone is battling inner demons tonight: Eric settles into his new “baby kissing” client relations department; Aurore takes on a tech giant trying to buy Fast Aid; Robert gets a bittersweet surprise. And things come to a head on a devastating trip to Berlin. SG
