Strictly Come Dancing: The Final 6.30pm, BBC One

After 13 weeks of nail-biting competition, the race for the Glitterball trophy comes down to four couples, each of which will perform two routines – one chosen by the judges and the other picked by the dancers themselves – plus a show dance to finish. Stacey Dooley, Ashley Roberts, Faye Tozer and Joe Sugg are the surviving celebs. Tozer has been bagging plenty of 10s, but after her American Smooth in week 11 it would take a brave soul to bet against a fairytale finish for first-timer Dooley. Mike Bradley

The Sinner

A double bill of the self-contained mystery series.
