Sounds Like Friday Night
7.30pm, BBC1
Prime time has lacked a vibrant music show since the demise of Top of the Pops. Can Sounds Like Friday Night fill that void? It’s probably unfair to compare it to TOTP – the format is different, the charts feel less central now and no show can really hope to take the pop-cultural temperature with comparable precision. Instead, Greg James and Dotty are joined by Jason Derulo, Charlie Puth and Jessie Ware for context-free light entertainment. Phil Harrison
Unreported World
7.30pm, Channel 4
A bracing and depressing investigation into witch-hunting, a practice that endures, as this episode demonstrates, in Tanzania. Ade Adepitan visits Undomo, where five women were recently tried in an unofficial court for these imaginary offences, and subsequently lynched and burned. Tanzania has passed laws against witch-hunting, and authorities appear determined to make an example of Undomo, but superstition dies hard. Andrew Mueller
The Brokenwood Mysteries
8pm, Drama
A series of feature-length dramas from New Zealand, proving, among other things, that Midsomer isn’t so much a fictional English county as a state of TV mind. There’s a certain amount of fun in tonight’s episode when a firm doing Lord of the Rings location tours become the focus of DI Shepherd’s investigations after a spider attraction results in a death. How seriously can the team take a lead that suggests this was the result of diabetes? Julia Raeside
Travel Man: 48 Hours in Valencia
8.30pm, Channel 4
This week the sarky but entertaining Richard Ayoade is soaking up the history and culture of Spain’s third largest city with Sara Pascoe. Among the highlights: a paella lesson-turned-Wicker Man-style ritual, which Ayoade says is “a compelling argument for Deliveroo”; discovering the super-alcoholic Agua de Valencia, which leaves them both worse for wear; and ditching the city’s cultural centre to go zorbing. Hannah J Davies
Bear’s Mission with Anthony Joshua
9pm, ITV
Anthony Joshua’s defeat of Wladimir Klitschko confirmed his credentials as pure muscular substance rather than overblown hype. Bear Grylls, however, sets him a challenge that will take him outside his city comfort zone: two days in the wild. Joshua confronts his fear of heights dangled from a helicopter as he is whisked to Commando Ridge in Cornwall to climb granite rock, negotiate a high rope and subsist on a rotten sheep’s leg. David Stubbs
The Good Doctor
9pm, Sky Living
This glossy drama from David Shore, the creator of House, centres on another medical genius who struggles in social situations. Autistic surgeon Shaun (Freddie Highmore) has an eventful first day at his new job in San Jose – arriving with a mortally injured child direct from the airport – but most of his colleagues reckon his condition must limit his abilities in the operating theatre. Can the fresh-faced savant overcome their prejudice? Grahame Virtue
Tracey Breaks the News
9.30pm, BBC1
Jeremy Corbyn probably isn’t the easiest of politicians to impersonate. There’s that querulous head tilt, sure, and the lowering of spectacles. But that voice, mild cheddar with a subtle tang of chutney, surely ranks as a challenge. Well, our Tracey’s game for it, in this new satirical series, coming in the wake of June’s election special. Others getting the Ullman makeover include Angela Merkel, Nicola Sturgeon and Theresa May. Ali Catterall
Film choice
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (Francis Ford Coppola, 1992) 1.20am, Film4
Made in the days when vampires were relatively rare sightings in the movies, Coppola reads the great gothic tale as a grand amour, Gary Oldman’s bereft Dracula existing in torment for centuries until, in London, he discovers the reincarnation of his long-dead love Elisabeta in Winona Ryder’s Mina. Visually ravishing and full of succulent eroticism, it is powered by the intensity of Oldman’s love-mad, merciless beast. Keanu Reeves is the heroic/foolish Jonathan Harker. Paul Howlett
