Going Back, Giving Back
3.45pm, BBC1
Aled Jones presents this gentle new format, which is effectively Secret Millionaire without the millions. The first person to return to their roots in order to help someone else is pensioner Jean, who left the city to serve the nation as a land girl in the second world war. As she and daughter Brenda plan a gift for a former soldier and his family, this sweet, slightly repetitive programme serves up fuzzy feelings of the highest order. Hannah J Davies
My Kitchen Rules
5pm, Channel 4
This new daytime series is essentially a mashup of every competitive cookery show you’ve ever seen, whisking, folding and blending together the inspired amateurism of MasterChef, the regional emphasis of Great British Menu and the home-hosting chaos of Come Dine with Me. It’s still good fun, though – Prue Leith and Michael Caines provide the stern pro-judging vibes as Glaswegian pals Ami and Nicola scramble and panic their way through three courses. Phil Harrison
Cold Feet
9pm, ITV
Pete unleashes a righteous right hook to a certain somebody at the climax of tonight’s episode. But before we discover who’s on the receiving end and why (let’s just say it’s a bit of a bombshell for Jenny and Chloe), it’s time to catch up with David’s court case. It’s a cinch, he thinks (“I’ll plead not guilty, get bail and be home before she is,” he says). Meanwhile, Adam attempts the tricky task of reconnecting with teenage son Matt. Robert Webb guest stars. Ali Catterall
Capability Brown’s Unfinished Garden
9pm, BBC4
While he’s best known for moving Earth on behalf of the nobility, Lancelot “Capability” Brown also became a landowner himself later in life, when he purchased a small estate in Fenstanton, Cambridgeshire. He never improved his plot substantially, but what might he have done? In what is a fascinating but obviously speculative exercise, BBC4’s Gardeners’ Question Time regular Bunny Guinness visits key Capability landscapes and uses computer wizardry to elaborate on his “unfinished garden”.

I’ve Got Something to Tell You
9pm, W
In this curious new reality show, Amanda Holden installs a lovely pop-up cafe in a 16th-century Hertfordshire barn. Various patrons pile in for afternoon tea, the majority of them unaware that the genteel cosiness is merely a pretext for a loved one to offload a secret over a scone. The revelations range from a family belatedly achieving closure after a horrific accident to a stag-do addict hoping to surprise his fed-up girlfriend. Graeme Virtue
Morgana Robinson’s The Agency
10pm, BBC2
This mock doc – following a talent agency’s celeb clients, all of whom are played by Robinson – seems on the surface to be subtler than most impression shows. In its second episode, though, it suffers familiar diminishing returns. Each character has one weekly variation on their one basic joke: if that’s not funny, the whole thing’s a grind. Tonight, Mel and Sue (though you couldn’t tell it was supposed to be them) decide to try some time apart. Jack Seale
The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth
10.35pm, Sky Atlantic
Americans probably need to watch more wrestling if they can’t recognise an outright heel like Trump but, as the presidential race reaches its final furlongs, his chances of victory remain scarily strong. Featuring Mark Halperin and John Heilemann of Bloomberg Politics and campaign strategist Mark McKinnon, this real-time documentary series isn’t overly compelling, but the stakes are both real and high.

Shallow Hal (Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly, 2001) 8pm, E4
Jack Black stars as babe-chasing Hal, his sights fixed on supermodel types until a TV guru hypnotises him into seeing people’s inner beauty. So he falls for sweet Rosemary (Gwyneth Paltrow), who weighs in at around 20st, but in Hal’s eyes she’s hotter than hot. While the story explores hypocrisy and the rules of attraction, coming from the Farrelly brothers, it’s also bulging with gross body-issue jokes. Paul Howlett
