Pets: The Dog House, More4, 6.55pm

The penultimate episode of this heartwarming series, following a dedicated team including vets, handlers, behaviour specialists and volunteers at Woodgreen animal rescue – and their tireless work, rehoming pets with loving new families. Every dog at the centre hopes to find their forever home and tonight the centre gets a visit from former Olympic cyclist Victoria Pendleton (left), on the lookout for a dog. But will it be puppy love when she meets Rhodesian ridgeback Leilo, despite Leilo’s long-term medical needs? Also tonight, Shai and Orin are trying to hit it off with Polo the lurcher, and beagle Zoe meets the Forristal family.

The cash-saving advice show is back for a second season. Presenter Gaby Roslin joins the team and, together with Ortis Deley, reveals various ways to get the best shopping deals.

Meanwhile, Jon Bentley (left) investigates which type of dishwasher offers best value and Harry Wallop talks about home insurance.

History: Rise Of The Nazis, BBC4, 9pm

First of a three-part documentary series, focusing on Adolf Hitler’s rule, and the Eastern Front – often seen as a key area of conflict of the Second World War. During the autumn of 1940, Adolf Hitler is considering his next move regarding the Soviet Union. He offers a land deal to its dictator Joseph Stalin, in exchange for support in the war against Britain – but Hitler secretly has the USSR in his sights too.

Gary Lineker (right) presents live coverage from the City Ground with kick-off at 7.45pm.
