Agatha Christie’s Murder Is Easy

9pm, BBC One

The latest snazzy Agatha Christie adaptation is a two-parter that boasts an impressive cast, with David Jonsson taking the lead as Luke Fitzwilliam – a young man forging a career in Whitehall, who gets sucked into a whodunnit when he learns a killer is on the loose in a sleepy English village. Mark Bonnar, Tamzin Outhwaite and Douglas Henshall also star. Hollie Richardson

The Repair Shop

The main draw in this week’s visit to the shop is music producer the Mad Professor, who brings in the FX machine he used to create dub’s distinctive sound, to see if Jay Blades and co can bring it back to life for the first time since 1984.

Royal Institution Christmas Lectures

Nolly

9pm, ITV1

Here is a chance to catch up with Russell T Davies’s serial – a funny, poignant, perceptive treat. Helena Bonham Carter stars as Noele Gordon, the matriarch of rickety but popular soap Crossroads. In 1981, at the height of her fame, her character Meg Mortimer was axed. But where did the line separating Meg from Nolly end? Phil Harrison

Imagine … French & Saunders: Pointed, Bitchy, Bitter

The Lazarus Project

12.30am, Sky Max

This homegrown sci-fi head-wrecker has staged a terrific second season about competing time-travel technologies, always action-packed but emotionally wrenching and bitingly funny. This week’s concluding double bill sees wayward agents George (Paapa Essiedu) and Sarah (Charly Clive) infiltrate Lazarus HQ to initiate a Code Black time reset. Graeme Virtue

Film choices

Gone With the Wind (Victor Fleming, 1939), 8.45am, Channel 5

It’s worth getting up early to watch this, the most popular film ever made. When adjusted for inflation, Gone With the Wind has made more than $3bn globally, which isn’t bad going for a movie about a frustratingly annoying woman and her uncomfortably happy slaves. Lots of films have aged better, but this is still a very important one. Stuart Heritage

Spirit Untamed, 11.40am, BBC One
DreamWorks’s Spirit franchise, about a wild and noble horse that finds itself caught up in the American Indian wars, has proved unusually durable. Following the first instalment, Stallion of the Cimarron, in 2002, the horse has inspired four separate multi-season TV shows, two television specials and now this movie sequel. Whether you’ll like it or not depends on your tolerance for cartoon horses, of course. SH
