While many people have had their priorities changed by the pandemic, others are struggling to navigate the fast-moving house market. Thankfully, Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer are back with a new series with advice for home buyers. They begin in the northeast of England where they help two sets of house-hunters who have decided to move back up north from down south. Phil’s in Northumber­land with Lauren and Noel, who are moving 200 miles up the M1 from Northampto­n, while Kirstie is with solo buyer Charlotte, who has moved back from London and wants a home of her own.

Derry Girls Channel 4, 9pm

”Like all the very best 90s bands, I couldn’t resist ending our farewell tour with an encore for our loyal fans,” says Lisa Mcgee, the writer and creator of this popular comedy. ”I really hope the fans love it as much as I do.” Following last night’s Hallowe’en-themed episode, we return to Derry one year later, as the gang prepare for their final year of school. It’s the week of the referendum on the Good Friday Agreement, but its timing couldn’t be any worse, as the highlight of the year, Erin and Orla’s joint 18th-birthday party, threatens to be overshadow­ed. While the family try to get their heads around the possible outcomes of the historic vote, the gang realise they may not be ready for what the future holds.

Inside No 9 BBC2, 10pm

Daniel Mays and Jason Isaacs guest-star as a pair of desperate villains in Kid/nap, the latest episode of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith’s anthology of darkly comic tales. Shane and Clifford have a plan to abduct the wife of a wealthy hedge fund manager. If he won’t pay them the money, they’ll snip her ears off to prove they mean business. However, everything in the plan depends on everyone playing their part right to the end – but it appears far from foolproof. Daisy Haggard plays the criminals’ intended victim.
