The Health Detectives
8pm, Channel 4
Apparently, more than 160m health-related internet searches are made worldwide each day. The internet being what it is, this often results in us being offered up quackery, dense scientific articles, scaremongering and sponsored content. This new series, presented by Cherry Healey, Dr Pixie McKenna and health journalist Dara Mohammadi, aims to help, as they work out how to cut through to genuinely useful information. Jonathan Wright
MasterChef Junior USA
8pm, W
Gordon Ramsay holds the F-bombs at bay as he joins chef Graham Elliot and restaurateur Joe Bastianich to judge the skills of budding cooks aged eight to 13. In this new series, the first step for the contestants is to run squealing into a huge pantry to find their MasterChef aprons, a move that surely needs to be introduced into the adult version. Then it’s on to a mystery box challenge, before they make pasta from scratch. Impressive. Hannah Verdier
Terror on the Beach: Why Did It Happen? – Panorama
8.30pm, BBC1
In June 2015, the Tunisian resort of Sousse was targeted by a gunman who opened fire on tourists, taking the lives of 38 people including 30 Britons. With similar incidents still occurring throughout Tunisia, reporter Jane Corbin travels to the scene of the attack to examine whether security concerns were ignored, and whether more could have been done to save lives on the day. Mark Gibbings-Jones
The Halcyon
9pm, ITV
The period trappings are deployed lavishly, but this wartime hotel drama shows signs of being more than just a Downton-style potboiler. The fine cast – headed by Olivia Williams as icy, but brittle Lady Hamilton and Steven Mackintosh as put-upon hotel manager Mr Garland – make the most of some generic but meaty material. Tonight, Garland’s future is in jeopardy, but might the new Lord Hamilton be persuaded to intervene on his behalf? Phil Harrison
The Best of Tommy Cooper
9.50pm, Yesterday
Maybe you would expect a programme like this to be on at Christmas, not after it – but the timeless nature of Cooper’s act and art makes a fine clip show, whenever it’s broadcast. A lugubrious physical comedian, Cooper was never “off” – he died on stage – and resisted efforts made by interviewers to get into his psyche. To that end, this includes his appearance on Parkinson, during which he makes the perspicacious interviewer simply another prop in his act. John Robinson
Insert Name Here
10pm, BBC2
The conceit with which this Sue Perkins-hosted panel show hopes to distinguish itself from all the other panel shows is that every episode is dedicated to riffs on a designated name. Tonight: Alex. The ambition is clearly of landing somewhere between QI and Have I Got News For You – and it features people you have seen on either/both, or would expect to. Not disagreeable, but this edition would have been much improved by just letting guest Danny Baker tell some stories. Andrew Mueller
The Week We Went Wild
10pm, Channel 5
This new series seems to have been created by putting The Jeremy Kyle Show and I’m A Celebrity in a blender and seeing what comes out. It consists of warring families seeking to resolve their differences in the middle of the perilous Panamanian jungle. This opener sees a brood headed by an anti-matriarch with eight kids, whom she neglects in order to go out on dates. Can they both bond and avoid being chewed by crocodiles? David Stubbs
Film choice
The Stepford Wives (Bryan Forbes, 1975) 6.40pm, TCM
Forbes is fine on the suburban facade, not so good on the chilling elements of Ira Levin’s sexual politics/sci-fi thriller. New arrivals in town Katharine Ross and Paula Prentiss are suspicious of the queasy perfection of Stepford’s women, realising that the chaps have turned them into obedient robots. Paul Howlett
