Best TV shows on TV tonight
The Million Pound Cube Celebrity, 9pm, ITV
Following on from celebrity specials of Catchphrase and The Chase earlier, here’s another celeb edition of The Million Pound Cube. Regular viewers will know that what seems easy from the comfort of your sofa is very different in that Perspex cube. But we have high hopes for Kevin Clifton and Stacey Dooley – as a dancer, he should have some nifty moves, while Stacey is used to thinking on her feet in tough situations while filming her investigative documentaries…

Strictly Come Dancing, 7.25pm, BBC1
Strictly burst back on to our screens last week as this year’s celebs were paired with the pro dancers who’ll help them waltz, jive and foxtrot their way to victory. Tonight, the 12 famous faces take to the dancefloor live for the first time. They’ll all be hoping to impress judges Craig, Shirley and Motsi (Bruno’s in LA). Fortunately, no one faces the chop yet as the first dreaded dance-off isn’t until next week. This is putting some much-needed sparkle back into Saturday nights, so don’t miss it!

Our Yorkshire Farm, from 6.05pm, Channel 5
Torrential rain, 100mph winds, blizzards… and lockdown. Life can be tough on the Yorkshire farm as we see in the last two episodes of this welcome repeat series following Clive and Amanda Owen and their nine children in the remote Yorkshire Dales. But there are plenty of highs too, not least the stunning scenery and, for parents, seeing kids not stuck on electronics. With more and more people considering upping sticks and leaving the rat race at the moment, there couldn’t be a better advert for doing so. Still not convinced? All episodes are on My5 for a limited period.

Prepare to be charmed by this sweet musical about love, grief, and reaching for the stars.
