Tonight's TV offerings promise an eclectic mix of drama, documentary, and comedy.
For those who've been waiting to see how the empire built its vast fortune on the backs of enslaved Africans, David Olusoga returns with the final episode of his epic series "Empire". In this penultimate instalment, he delves into the brutal world of transatlantic slave trade at Bunce Island, a notorious hub where millions were forcibly sold. The fallout from the American revolution then takes him to Australia, where he explores the dark legacy of colonialism and its impact on the indigenous population.
On BBC One, Sara Cox embarks on her gruelling 135-mile walk/jog/run challenge for Children in Need, an annual charity event that raises vital funds for disadvantaged children. The highlight of the evening promises to be a heartwarming performance by a children's choir who will sing Coldplay's emotional ballad "Yellow".
Meanwhile, Channel 4's "Unreported World" tackles a harrowing topic: the systematic murder of Arab citizens in Israel, with hundreds going unsolved each year. Krishnan Guru-Murthy investigates allegations of links to organised crime, security forces complicity, and government cover-ups.
On BBC Two, Monty Don is busily cultivating a new woodland garden from scratch, while an ardent acer fan has amassed 70 varieties in her Buckinghamshire garden. If you need some gardening inspiration, tune in to "Gardeners' World".
Sky Max offers the fifth instalment of its spin-off series "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon", which promises plenty of action as Daryl and his companions face off against hordes of zombies.
Other highlights include an instant tear-jerker documentary about performance poet Andrea Gibson, supported by their wife during a terminal ovarian cancer diagnosis, and Argentina's Oscar contender "Belén", based on the true story of a young woman wrongly jailed for homicide.

. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great that they're tackling tough topics like the slave trade and colonialism, but is this really what we need more of? Can't we have some documentaries on innovation or science instead? Or even just a good old-fashioned comedy night? 
. i love how sarah cox is supporting children in need by taking on that challenge, its really inspiring 
. and oh man, the walking dead series sounds like a wild ride 
! but what im most looking forward to is watching "belen" it seems like such a powerful true story about fighting for justice 
.
. anyway, cant wait to see saras challenge on bbc one tho! 135 miles is crazy 
. also, monty dont forget to share your gardening tips lol 
. sky maxs walking dead is always a good way to spend an evening, but i'm not sure how long this daryl thing will keep me entertained 
.
Still, gotta respect Olusoga's dedication to bringing this important history to light.
I mean who wouldn't want to raise money for a good cause while challenging themselves physically. Maybe I'll even try it out next year... if I can get past the whole "135-mile" thing 
. On the other hand, "Unreported World" tackling topics like organ crime and government cover-ups is just too dark to handle sometimes 
Monty Don's woodland garden looks amazing. I could get lost in that all day 
. But let's be real, who needs gardening inspiration when you have Netflix and a comfy couch? 
. But hey, I guess that's just my lazybones personality showing through 
.
. Maybe next time, can we have a gardening segment instead of another "Empire" episode? 
! Like, it's crazy that people even know about Bunce Island now... it's wild how much we can learn from history, right? 
And aww Sara Cox is doing this amazing 135-mile walk for charity, I'm literally getting chills just thinking about her dedication 
.
. I mean, what's the point of watching people torture themselves on TV? At least Sara Cox is raising money for something that actually helps kids... but do we really need to watch her suffer all night? 
.
. More zombies, more gore... when will they run out of ideas? And what's the point of a documentary about performance poet Andrea Gibson if it's just going to make me feel sad and miserable? 
. It's crazy to think about how far we've come and yet, here we are still grappling with the aftermath of colonialism. David Olusoga does some amazing work, but I do wish he'd delve deeper into the complexities of it all.
.
. Give me something with a bit more... edge? Maybe a documentary about climate change instead? We really need to talk about this stuff ASAP 
.
. I mean don't get me wrong, it's great she's out there doin' her thing, but what about the rest of us who aren't exactly swimmin' in cash? Can't say I'd tune in just for a feel good story, especially when there's all this gritty stuff goin on elsewhere
