Monkman & Seagull’s Genius Guide to Britain
8pm, BBC Two
Wisely scheduled before University Challenge – the programme that first introduced us to opposing team captains Eric Monkman and Bobby Seagull – this show sees the duo advance their broadcasting career beyond last year’s BBC radio documentary, Monkman and Seagull’s Polymathic Adventure. It is a four-part “journey of discovery in celebration of British ingenuity”. They begin with a tour of the north of England, embracing Jodrell Bank and a lawnmower museum. Mike Bradley
Modern Wheels Or Classic Steals
8pm, Dave
It is performance versus “road art” for a new series in which “poop-poop!” petrolheads with money to burn choose between modern motors and classic cars. The racing driver and journalist Rebecca Jackson speaks for the new, while Elo, a collector, touts the old. File under guilty pleasure. Jonathan Wright
Travel Man: 48 Hours in Ibiza
8.30pm, Channel 4
Up for a “48-hour Balearic ball”, Richard Ayoade turns madcap mansplainer this week as he whisks off the actor Jessica Knappett (best known as Meg from Drifters) to the White Isle to take a dismal hippy gong bath, dine on nasturtium leaves and try their hand at the alternative pool sport of flow-riding. MB
Black Earth Rising
9pm, BBC Two
The second episode of Hugo Blick’s ominous, suspenseful drama anchored in the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s shows rogue general Simon Nyamoya being brought to the Hague. The trial, however, ends in horror. Meanwhile, Kate wonders why Alice is so unconcerned about the prospect of extradition to France. David Stubbs
Strangers
9pm, ITV
Last week’s opener had a lot to unpack, but things get more interesting in this episode of the drama set in Hong Kong. Convinced that his wife, Megan, was murdered, baffled professor Jonah Mulray goes in search of the truth. The trouble is, his efforts to convince David Chen fall on deaf ears and the secrets he uncovers just add to his confusion. Intriguing viewing. MB
Super Salon
10pm, E4
Sheffield’s Stylebar, run by born-to-be-on-reality-TV pair Dan and Cherise, opens up its doors to the cameras in this new series. Cherise kicks off the drama by horrifying Dan when she spends a fortune on a “Cocktails & Curls” promotion, while a woman who hasn’t had her hair cut for years comes in for a coiffing. Hannah Verdier
