TV tonight: Aimee Lou Wood’s warmhearted drama about a film club

Film Club

10pm, BBC Three
Friday night is film club night for Evie (Aimee Lou Wood) and her mate Noa (Nabhaan Rizwan). It’s now their 198th meeting and Evie has transformed her mum’s garage into a spacecraft for Alien – but Noa arrives with news that he is moving away. A trauma has stopped Evie from leaving the safety of her house, but she is now forced to think about the future and be more honest about her feelings in this sweet, warming drama. Hollie Richardson

The Great British Bake Off

8pm, Channel 4
It’s pastry week, and the task of making a sculpted tart sees the seven remaining bakers take some wild creative swings – including one effort designed to double as a playable Connect 4 game. But before that showstopper they must tackle the braided intricacies of a savoury plait and the structural challenges of a gala pie. Graeme Virtue

Murder Before Evensong

9pm, Channel 5
In this new adaptation of the Rev Richard Coles’ crime novels, Canon Daniel Clement (Matthew Lewis) can’t help but get involved when a spate of murders start in his quiet village. Determined to find out what has been happening to his community, Clement goes on the hunt, and threatens to unearth some long-buried secrets. Nicole Vassell

Art’s Most Horrific

9pm, Sky Arts

“Art likes death and horror,” critic Waldemar Januszczak gleefully declares in the second episode of his provocative series. He is exploring blood, gore and death – not for the faint-hearted at points – in a journey that, he says, has to start in Naples. HR

Worlds Apart

9.15pm, Channel 4
There’s more than a hint of Race Across the World to this new reality contest, which pairs up six retirees with sheltered gen Z-ers to travel across Japan. It’s gentle at best and didactic at worst – though perhaps the generous £50k prize will raise the stakes over the next five weeks. Hannah J Davies

Storyville: The Librarians

10pm, BBC Four
This documentary, executive produced by Sarah Jessica Parker, is disturbing and inspiring. It follows principled librarians in the US south who find themselves on a volatile front in the culture wars as rightwing pressure groups aggressively campaign for a ban on books exploring LGBTQ+ issues and multiculturalism.
