Janet Baker: In Her Own Words
9pm, BBC Four
Musicians talking about the woes and wonders of their lives is nothing new, but there is something rare about Dame Janet Baker’s profound reflections on her career as Britain’s greatest classical singer of the 20th century. In this rare glimpse into the mezzo-soprano’s life – her first documentary in more than 35 years – she reveals the tragic formative experiences that fuelled her passion for singing and the burdens that led her to retire at the height of her success.

The Durrells
8pm, ITV
“What is this, a ruddy zoo?” If gun-toting tourist Colonel Ribbindane (Alex Macqueen) seems tickled by the Durrells and their rickety Corfu guesthouse, his main focus is big game hunting, which riles up young Gerald no end. As the fourth season of the 1930s drama continues, Louisa must also deal with lovestruck Basil. Graeme Virtue
Secrets of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings
8pm, Channel 4
The archaeology series concludes with a big find: in a termite-infested hole near Aswan is a wall, and behind the wall is a royal burial chamber. It’s not all careful digging and over-excited geeks, though, as we are taken through the ancient Egyptians’ complex system of beliefs. Jack Seale
Blind Date
8pm, Channel 5
Lewis from Fife goes to the gym 10 times a week and Kyle from Cardiff has spent £8,000 on his face – you can’t accuse these “lovely lads” of not putting in the effort. Still, Paul O’Grady has seen disappointment before, like poor April from last week, who was expecting “Bill Nighy, not Bilbo Baggins”. Ellen E Jones

Game of Thrones
2am, Sky Atlantic
Here we go, then, the first of six budget-breaking episodes marking the end of the George RR Martin-inspired saga. Inevitably, plot details have been locked up as tightly as a prisoner in the Red Keep, but what we do know is that the wall has fallen and the Night King’s undead horde have their sights set on Winterfell. Airs simultaneously with the US as 2am, and is available on NowTV at the same time, with a second airing at 9pm, Monday on Sky Atlantic. Gwilym Mumford
