Tonight's TV highlights

Children In Need 2010 7pm, BBC1 It's that time of year again, when Terry Wogan, assisted this time around by Tess Daly, exhorts us to empty our pockets for charity. In return, we not only get to do some good, but we see famous people doing silly things (Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button take a go-karting challenge), special things (a Robbie Williams-augmented Take That perform live) and exclusive things (a preview of the Christmas Doctor Who). Look out, too, for a pop-tastic edition of Strictly Come Dancing; JLS performing Children In Need single Love You More; plus soap team-ups (like Corrie's Hayley meeting Enders' Jane) and newsreaders doing daft stuff. JW Unreported World 7.30pm, Channel 4 In India, couples who marry who they want, rather than who they are told to, can run into serious problems – and often violence. In Delhi, however, help is at hand in the person of Sanjay and his organisation, the Love Commandos. Reporter Annie Kelly meets Santosh and Guarav, who have fled to Delhi under the aegis of the Love Commandos. A new generation of Indians want to marry for love, but they do so in a country where there were 900 "honour killings" last year. JR Cheetah Kingdom 8pm, ITV1 Poor old Tongs. The five-year-old big pussy cat is finding it hard adjusting to life in Namibia's Okonjima game reserve, where cheetahs rescued from captivity by the Africat Foundation are given a second chance. Even her own brother Hammer has given her a pasting. As Africat's Carla says, "You'd hope for a happy ending, but unfortunately nature doesn't work like that." Meanwhile, the team prepares to release a pack of hunting dogs, in this warm-hearted series. AJC Bird On A Wire 9pm, BBC4 To see Leonard Cohen in concert today is to see a sprightly septuagenarian in a fedora perform a polished selection of hits. In 1972, however, the Cohen show was a flashpoint for serious young gentlemen and poetry-reading ladies, the 38-year-old then provoking a scholarly kind of hysteria. Tony Palmer's re-edited rockumentary is as witty and poetic as its subject, and follows Cohen's 22-date European tour, capturing the grind of interview and performance but much more besides. Cohen may be a serious fellow, but what confronts him, from encounters with groupies to riots, is often amusing, and always surprising. JR Beyond Survival With Les Stroud 9pm, Discovery Les Stroud, the explorer formerly known in Discovery-world as "Survivorman", heads out to hone his outdoorsman skills with the help of various people around the world. Tonight's lesson comes from the "sea gypsies" of Malaysia, who teach him how to plait palm fronds, dodge poisonous snakes in the jungle, treat sea urchin stings, hunt and cook sea cucumber, and not swim past the communal loo. RV The Walking Dead 10pm, FX An oddly zombie-lite episode as the survivors regroup and take time to weigh up their options. The biggest decision is whether or not to venture back into Arkansas after barely escaping with their lives. The draw to embark on this potentially suicidal mission is to retrieve the big bag of guns and ammo Grimes ditched on the street. Oh, and maybe to also check on the racist redneck they left handcuffed to the top of that building. Even though the zombies are used sparingly, their threat permeates absolutely everything said and done here, even tainting what should be a happy reunion. PO'N
