Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
9.15pm, ITV
ITV is hardly shy of gambling on leftfield gameshow hosts, as it proved by picking Giles Coren for glitzy primetime quiz 500 Questions two years ago. With Jeremy Clarkson set to reboot the redoubtable Millionaire, however, it’s tempting to suspect the opinionated petrolhead is sitting in the wrong vehicle. ITV’s scheduling suggests confidence,placing an episode every night this week, as with Chris Tarrant’s original Millionaire in 1998. But will the public go for such a divisive figure? That’s the million-pound question. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Harry Hill’s Alien Fun Capsule
7.30pm, ITV
The “bonkers” panel show, as Edmonds/Partridge might put it, continues with two teams attempting to persuade an army of invading aliens we’re actually worth saving. An uphill struggle, some would say, given almost any recent news headline. Still, the likes of Janet Street-Porter and Una Stubbs give it their best shot. Ali Catterall
Britain’s Got Talent
8pm, ITV
It’s the fourth audition round and the contestants are the standard mix of eccentric and quite good, which is part of the charm at this stage of BGT. In previous weeks, dancing aliens made it through, but twerkers dressed as a zebra and a monkey somehow didn’t. Will there be any justice tonight? Hannah Verdier

Secrets of Tutankhamun’s Treasures
9.15pm, Channel 5
It is nearly a century since the Egyptian tomb was reopened and it’s tough to imagine what secrets this much-scrutinised archaeological hoard could have left to yield. This episode focuses on Tutankhamun’s death mask, and the theory that it wasn’t actually his. Andrew Mueller
