The Rehearsal

10pm, Sky Comedy
Ever wondered how many planes have crashed because the co-pilot was “uncommunicative?” Nathan Fielder has – and it’s the premise for series two of his mind-bending social experiment comedy, in which real people “rehearse” in his simulated scenarios. He reconstructs a cockpit and an airport lounge, and even starts TV singing competition Wings of Voice. The blurred line between reality and construction creates something bizarre and uproariously funny. Strap in! Matthew Pearce

It is the season finale and we last saw Ellie (Bella Ramsey) about to get her bloody revenge on Abby (Kaitlyn Dever). Will she go through with it? And if so, can she pull it off? This season has been slowed down by Joel’s absence and Ellie’s endless guitar renditions – but maybe it will end on a thrilling note. HR

The Importance of Being Earnest (Anthony Asquith, 1952), 11.10pm, Talking Pictures TV

Drawing-room comedy … Margaret Rutherford, Michael Redgrave and Michael Denison. Photograph: Entertainment Pictures/Alamy

Oscar Wilde’s scintillating dialogue transfers well from stage to screen in Anthony Asquith’s definitive 1952 version of his drawing-room comedy. Michael Redgrave and Michael Denison are the two young men whose romantic designs on Joan Greenwood and Dorothy Tutin’s English roses lead them into a pseudonymous tangle. But, despite the comic skills of Greenwood and Margaret Rutherford as governess Miss Prism, it’s Edith Evans’s intimidating Lady Bracknell who rules the roost. “A handbag?” will never sound the same again.
