Paul Daniels: My Life in Magic
10pm, Channel 5
An array of talking heads assemble to pay their respects to the greatest of British stage magicians, from pals Penn and Teller to David Copperfield. The programme charts his career from winning prizes on the northern club circuit with his assistant (and first wife) Jackie as the Eldanis, through to his near-perfect cup-and-ball trick – and that time everyone thought he had been perforated in an iron maiden on The Paul Daniels Magic Show. Ben Arnold
Food Unwrapped
8pm, Channel 4
Marmite: for some, black magic. For others, hard Brexit on toast. But did you know that loving or hating yeast extract can be determined by your genetic makeup? This and other fun food facts are explored by Kate Quilton, Jimmy Doherty and Matt Tebbutt in a new series that also discovers how shellfish are feeding on discarded plastic and what custard has in common with ketchup (and why it’s so hard to get the latter out of the bottle). Ali Catterall
Travel Man: 48 Hours in Rome
8.30pm, Channel 4
Richard Ayoade is your host for another series of this meta-travel show. Playing to the gallery, while having fun with the tropes of travel shows past – potted history; cultural events; light information about cost – our guide accidentally provides a worthwhile service while being very funny. Tonight’s sidekick is Matt Lucas. The pair investigate Rome, as awkward as anyone pitching up in a new city, but armed with considerably more charm. And hats. John Robinson
Cold Feet
9pm, ITV
Odd how quickly Cold Feet has gone from returning novelty to seeming snuggly and comforting, sort of the televisual equivalent of a sofa you bought a few years ago. Which is no bad thing, of course, what with it being a drama about family and friendship. The conclusion to series two of the reboot finds Tina arranging to meet Sarah, Adam offering Pete some relationship advice and David reacting when his daughters are threatened. Jonathan Wright
Nile Rodgers: How to Make It in the Music Business
9pm, BBC4
This celebratory series concludes tonight by exploring Rodgers’s diversion into neighbouring genres. When Daft Punk forged their path from bedroom studio to arena, Rodgers helped engineer their reinvention through smash hit, and perpetual sound of the summer, Get Lucky. Collaborations with the likes of Avicii further helped impress Rodgers’ talent on new generations, his work extending to a collaboration with country star Keith Urban. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Rock and Roll
10pm, Sky Arts
This week’s edition of the mammoth series examining all facets of the genre looks at the role of anger, and rock music’s capacity to ventilate the emotion. Among those interviewed and featured are Rage Against the Machine, Henry Rollins and Public Enemy’s Chuck D, with incendiary footage of the Sex Pistols, Discharge and Pussy Riot among others. Yet none of them quite match the measured fury of Billie Holiday seen delivering Strange Fruit in 1959. David Stubbs
Chance
10pm, Universal
Dedicated Hugh Laurie lovers (and they are numerous) will be happy to see the second season of this neuropsychiatric noir arrive on UK television so soon, but what’s in it for everyone else? Well, the ever-excellent supporting cast now includes Paul Schneider as a new adversary, the San Francisco setting is as moodily menacing as ever and then there’s Laurie himself as the titular therapist-turned-felon. If House didn’t convince you, this just might. Ellen E Jones

Sunshine (Danny Boyle, 2007) 11.20pm, Sony Movie Channel
A multinational team of astronauts, including Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans and Rose Byrne, are on an Earth-saving mission: to fly a giant bomb into the sun’s core to rekindle its dying energy. It’s a fantastic premise, and for a while Boyle’s accomplished sci-fi adventure shines with the philosophical brilliance of a real Space Odyssey, before going a bit Alien-lite.
