The Long Song (BBC One, 9pm)
A new series in which a 19th-century Jamaican slave named July tries to survive life at the Amity sugar cane plantation, run by her odious mistress Caroline Mortimer. The Christmas riots and the abolition of slavery turn Amity upside down. As a result, July has no idea what the future has in store for her. A new overseer arrives to the plantation, with plans to revolutionise and improve production and labour, but everything might not be as it seems.
Nigella’s Christmas Table (BBC Two, 6.30pm)
If you missed Nigella’s Christmas special last year, we can assure you that it’s far more entertaining than any cooking show should be. Laden with bizarre innuendos about food, Nigella’s Christmas Table gives the celebrity chef a platform to share all of her essential Christmas cooking tips. Tonight her feast includes roast duck, garlic and parmesan ptato gratin, sour-sweet soused red cabbage with cranberries and brandy salted caramel ice cream. If any of those take your fancy, tune in and she’ll instruct you on how to work them into your Christmas menu.
