Celebrity Mastermind, BBC1, 7pm

New series. John Humphrys kicks off another 10 rounds of against-the-clock quizzing, inviting four famous faces to answer questions on their chosen subjects, before demonstrating their general knowledge.

Supershoppers Sales Special, C4, 8pm

If you plan to hit the sales over Christmas and New Year, perhaps you should check out this special first to make sure you’re really getting a bargain. Anna Richardson and Sabrina Grant offer money-saving tips and investigate some of the discounts from retailers that may not be all they seem.

Six Robots & Us, BBC2, 8pm

While we may have been teased for years with the idea of robot butlers in films such as Sleeper, how realistic is the concept?

In this episode, experts from four universities deliver four robots – Fitbot, Carebot, Tuturbot and Beam – to families around the country, with Psychologist Dr Caroline Jay and robotics specialist, Professor Jonathan Rossiter watching their every move.

Miranda Does Christmas, C4, 9pm

Her self-titled sitcom may have ended, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get a Miranda Hart festive special this year. Instead, she’s here with a programme to remind us how much fun Christmas used to be when we were kids – and why that doesn’t have to stop just because you’re a grown-up who has to buy presents instead of waiting for Santa to deliver them. To distract from some of the seasonal stress and put the merry back in Christmas, she’ll be going carolling, spreading joy among festive shoppers and inviting a gospel choir to perform a mash-up that includes a yuletide take on a Destiny’s Child classic. She’ll also be joined by celebrity guests including David Tennant, Sam Smith and Prue Leith.
