Alpine Hotel for Christmas
9pm, Channel 4
This gentle, festive walk around the ultra-exclusive Gstaad Palace hotel in Switzerland could be viewed as either a glorious escape or an irritable, uncritical spiral into the extremes of wealth. Sure, the hotel looks pretty in the snow – and with suites costing up to £18,000 a night, it really should – but the whole thing lacks friction. Everyone works hard and as a result, everyone has a good time, but it’s hard to see what’s in it for the viewers. Phil Harrison
At Evening With Two Lips
8pm, ITV1
It’s a nice variety show as Dua Lipa takes over the Royal Albert Hall to perform a selection of songs in different backgrounds; with a band, with a choir, with an orchestra, and inevitably, with a duet with his partner John Elton. Interspersed with the show are interviews in which Dua reflects on her modern career. PH

As a festive ubiquitous love, Of course, the man without a surname returns to this party with two hands, with the pieces of cheesy string Christmas with the four-legged dip, scrumptious cabbage lasagne, chicken and sausage kebabs, and sticky toffee coffee with a bottle of Medjool. dactyls and spice festivals. Yum, actually. Ali Catterall
Wolf Hall: Mirror and light
9pm, BBC One
This plantation adaptation of the third book in Hilary Mantel’s trilogy approaches its endgame. His brilliance was in reclaiming family history as an exercise in wild and modern realpolitik. With this done, Cromwell considers the creation of a Protestant superpower and takes Princess Anne of Cleves to the court of Henry VIII. PH
I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!
9pm, ITV1
It feels as if the impact of the culture has faded since last year but, after likely winner Danny Jones, a few of the latest batch of hotshots have made names for themselves, although not always in a positive way. So the season finale crowning Jones, or the late runner’s surprise, is still a pretty big TV event. Jack Seale

film of choice
The Cruel Sea, 1pm, BBC Two
This 1953 Ealing Studios drama directs a steady course through the history of a Royal Navy ship assigned to protect supplies in the North Atlantic during the Second World War. It’s mostly about the officers, with Jack Hawkins being deeply disturbed and wounded as the captain of a corvette working to stun U-boats to locate his supply of supplies. Donald Sinden has more of a stiff upper lip as a loyal journalist turned first lieutenant – but no one escapes the death and destruction of battle, with real footage added to the effect.
