BBC Proms 2017
10pm, BBC4
Scott Walker’s restless and experimental recent work will have seemed forbiddingly outre to many of the people who adore his more melodically conventional earlier music. But their preferences will be well and truly catered for by Prom 15, in which Jarvis Cocker leads performers including Susanne Sundfør, John Grant and Richard Hawley through a selection of songs from the four eponymous Walker solo albums that culminated in 1969’s sublime Scott 4. Phil Harrison
Mastermind
8pm, BBC2
The thought of finding oneself vulnerable and unprepared in Mastermind’s harsh spotlight used to be a communal anxiety dream. But in an age when it feels as if reality itself is being undermined and rewritten by malevolent shadow-brokers, there is something rather comforting about tonight’s return of the fat-free uber-quiz – for its 44th series and 15th with John Humphrys in charge – where cold, hard facts are valued above all else. Graeme Virtue
Draining the Bermuda Triangle
8pm, Channel 5
First off: forget about wormholes or “electromagnetic anomalies” – this is not that show. Still, the “very real dangers posed by Mother Nature” are scary enough in themselves and here, sonar mapping is employed to scan underwater regions, bizarre geological features and rocky algae that can “pierce a ship’s hull like a can opener”. Throw in extreme weather and 100ft waves and it’s no wonder the area is such a ship’s graveyard. Ali Catterall
Only Connect
8.30pm, BBC2
A new (Model Army, Edition, Order, Seekers) series for Victoria Coren Mitchell’s enduring and consistently challenging quizshow, as a series of teams use the combined might of their lateral lobes to untangle the contents of the Only Connect wall of words. Tonight’s two teams attempting to outdo reigning series champions the Verbivores (while also conjoining such disparities as “rub” and “disease”) are a church team and a triumvirate of Tolkien fans. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Big Brother: Live Final
9pm, Channel 5
Dear old Big Brother, with its nondescript housemates and shockingly flat challenges, reaches its final throes. It’s been eight long weeks, but there can only be one winner. Mistress of the house Emma Willis introduces the final and, as much as she is a person who can whip up excitement against all odds, she’ll have her work cut out tonight. If all this leaves you missing BB, dry your eyes because the superior Celebrity version is imminent. Hannah Verdier
Brojects in the House
3.30pm, Dave
Canadian carpenter dudes (and actual real-life brothers) Kevin and Andrew Buckles present this fast-edited DIY fixer-upper show. The premise is the pair have sunk their cash into a former civic hall in Nova Scotia to use as a vacation home. Turns out, it’s much more fun as an evolving man cave: a no-rules, no-shower test of their not uncharming resourcefulness. Tonight, first things first: how quickly can they set themselves up with a decent bar? John Robinson
Dicte: Crime Reporter
9pm, More4
Concluding the story that began last week, intrepid reporter Dicte and her tame cop, the perplexed-looking Wagner, continue to investigate the disappearance of a 12-year-old. While Wagner suspects two burglars, Dicte suspects a paedophile who’s been chatting with girls online. Solid, although there are moments when you suspect that, without its subtitles, this might come across as a rather more conventional crime drama. Jonathan Wright
Film choice
Doctor Strange (Scott Derrickson, 2016) 12.15pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Trust Benedict Cumberbatch to add a little class to the ever-expanding Marvel universe. The intro is inauspicious: a car smash opening the doors to a superpowered transformation is all very Spidey/Iron Man etc. But Doctor Strange’s journey from Manhattan neurosurgeon to Tibetan necromancer is a thrilling adventure, full of wondrous, weird special effects and magical characters: Tilda Swinton’s Ancient One, Chiwetel Ejiofor’s astral student Mordo and Mads Mikkelsen’s evil Kaecilius. Paul Howlett
