Crystal Lake
9pm, Sky Atlantic
A Friday the 13th prequel series produced by A24? Halloween has come early for gorefest fans. Linda Cardellini plays small-town single mother Pam Voorhees, who takes her son Jason (Callum Vinson) to summer camp where she works as a cook. But one day Jason drowns in the lake. Fast forward a year, and Pam is grieving but clings to a shred of hope as her son’s body still hasn’t been found. When two cops knock on her door to tell her they have discovered Jason’s remains, things take a huge turn – and it turns out there’s more to her and Jason’s story than meets the eye … It has all the jump-scare beats of a classic 70s slasher movie and Cardellini gets stuck in – blood, guts and all.

Jamie’s 20 Minute Meals
8pm, Channel 4
A cheesy quiche with smoky ham and a punch of mustard, and chicken breasts flambéed in a brandy and onion sauce are the two main courses knocked up by chef Jamie Oliver in real time in this week’s episode. And to wash it all down: a prosecco and pomegranate spritz. HR
Clickbait Clinic With Stacey Dooley
8.30pm, BBC One
Meet Marcello, a biohacker who is part of the methylene blue movement – he believes the supplement that’s the colour of Sonic the Hedgehog can boost brain function.

Aberfan: The Village That Fought Back
9pm, BBC Two
As the 60th anniversary of the horrifying Welsh disaster is marked, it’s customary to remember Aberfan as simply a tragedy. This deeply affecting documentary recasts it as a scandal, too: an inevitable result of long-running industrial negligence. The memories of eyewitnesses are interspersed with the story of the tireless campaign for accountability. Phil Harrison
Pierre
9pm, Channel 4
Poor Pierre (David Harewood): his wife and boss are losing patience with the duty solicitor as he attempts to get to the bottom of young client Michael’s death – all while ignoring his recent diabetes diagnosis. But could some footage on Michael’s phone provide a breakthrough? A solid legal drama, lifted by a suave Harewood. HR
Walter Presents: Soviet Jeans
12.05am, Channel 4
The first episode of this Latvian drama gets a terrestrial airing to mark its launch on Channel 4’s streaming service. It’s the classic love story: hidden-market trade guy falls in love with theatre director gal … and so does a KGB agent. Expect plenty of drama from this tale of Riga in the 70s. Alexi Duggins
