6.05pm, BBC One

Alan Carr has risen to national prominence during the evolution of the game but, now in his fourth series, it’s good to know he hasn’t forgotten his roots. What we have is a very different version of the glossy version of Catchphrase where teams compete to identify a screen full of images with £10k on the line. The first contestants come from London, South Wales and Motherwell. Phil Harrison

Film selection

Bad Small Letters, 9pm, Channel 4

When mysterious poisonous letters are sent to seaside resident Edith (Olivia Colman), suspicion falls on her neighbor Rose (Jessie Buckley), a restless, womanizing Irish single mother. There’s something hilarious about Colman’s profanity, and Thea Sharrock’s 1920s-set comedy ladles on the insults as the author’s vitriol swells across the board. Behind the curtain mockery is a cautionary tale about bullying and oppression, but watching Colman and Buckley go there is enough in itself. Simon Wardell

The recent death of Sam Neill is a great loss for cinema, but he was so rich that there will always be a great film around him to remember him. The first posthumous release is the most famous – Steven Spielberg’s family adventure. Neill plays a paleontologist who is invited by industrialist Richard Attenborough to his island to study the dinosaurs he has brought back to life through DNA manipulation. What can happen? The perfect balance between surprise and horror, is a great crowd pleaser. SW
