If you’re not braving the sales on Boxing Day, chances are you’re still recovering from eating a mountain of turkey.

Don’t worry – there’s plenty of top TV to tune in to while you recuperate from the big day.

Here are three things you should watch on Boxing Day.

The Great Christmas Bake Off

BBC One, 7pm

The Great Christmas Bake Off 2016 - who's back?

1/9

Get ready – this is it. The last ever Great British Bake Off episode on the BBC. As with the Christmas Day episode, Paul Hollywood, Mary Berry, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins are all back, with some former contestants.

This time there’s fan favourite Howard Middleton, as well as Chetna Makan, James Morton, and Janet Basu. Savour it.

A Big LEGO Christmas

Channel 4, 8pm

If someone in your household received a LEGO set for Christmas, there’s a good chance you’ve already stepped painfully on a tiny pointed brick.

Still, if you’re not fed up of the sight of the classic toy, Channel 4’s documentary A Big LEGO Christmas is a great watch – following the construction of London’s huge new LEGO shop in Leicester Square.
