Have I Got News for You
9pm, BBC One
It is a mystery why Alexander Armstrong has not been hired as permanent chair of the spontaneous satirical news quiz – it feels made for his wry timing. In the first of a new run, the comedian, gameshow host and would-be opera singer resumes the role of guest referee, attempting to control captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton, plus BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty and comedian-actor Josh Widdicombe. Hislop is already licking his chops at the prospect of lampooning a shambolic few weeks in British politics. Mike Bradley
Border Force America’s Gatekeepers
8pm, Dave
This latest UKTV original follows US customs and border protection agency officials. While billed as a revolutionary insight, it is merely a new addition to the well-worn genre of police obs docs – albeit filmed quite nicely. This week’s finds include a laptop with an illicit upgrade. Hannah J Davies
The Debt Saviours
9pm, BBC Two
Phillip Wood (Chasing Dad, Rehab) brings his characteristic brand of intimacy to his latest documentary, this time looking at debt-counselling charity Christians Against Poverty and its founder John Kirkby. But are the charity’s staff, the film asks, motivated “debt coaches” or surreptitiously hawking evangelism? MB
The Big Audition
9pm, ITV
In a TV landscape littered with reality shows, we’ve all become experts on the audition process, so it makes sense to create a show that’s, well, just auditions. Here, real-life employers try out candidates for the positions of TV shopping channel presenter, dog model and Henry VIII impersonator. MB
Can You Feel It: How Dance Music Conquered the World
10pm, BBC Four
The final part of this enjoyable series explores dance music’s journey towards cultural pre-eminence. Tiësto, David Guetta and Moby consider the era of the superstar DJ and wonder how much of the genre’s original essence has survived its ascent to stadium ubiquity. Phil Harrison
My Favourite Sketch
10pm, Gold
New show in which Sally Phillips invites comedians to talk about their favourite sketches and re-enact one, too. First up is Paul Whitehouse, choosing Python’s Argument Sketch, Kathy Burke channelling Liam Gallagher in Kevin and Perry, and the late, great Felix Dexter in Bellamy’s People. A pure joy.

Downsizing 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
The incredible shrinking Matt Damon stars in this satirical sci-fi about a Lilliputian futureworld. Choosing to be downsized to 5in tall, Damon’s therapist finds himself a wealthy fish in a small pool – but Christoph Waltz’s dodgy-dealer neighbour soon shows that exploitation is as rife as in the regular-sized world.
