Celebrities on the NHS Frontline
9pm, BBC One
What is day-to-day life like in the NHS? To judge by this two-parter featuring former MP Ann Widdecombe, athlete Jonnie Peacock and journalists Michael Mosley and Stacey Dooley working at London’s King’s College hospital, it’s frustrating, punishingly busy and, sometimes, exhilarating. Do we need TV persons to tell us this? Possibly not. But, for example, the befuddlement of medically trained Mosley when faced with the sheer pace at which the resus team functions – “There isn’t time for tea, dear” – is telling. Jonathan Wright
Richard Osman’s House of Games
6.30pm, BBC Two
Always strange to watch Richard Osman’s witticisms sailing over the heads of the invited audience on Pointless. Good, then, to see him get his own vehicle, involving a variety of trivia-based games tonight featuring Chizzy Akudolu, Charlie Higson, Tom Allen and Kate Williams. David Stubbs
Japan’s Secret Shame
9pm, BBC Two
In 2017, Japanese journalist Shiori Ito went public with an accusation of rape by a powerful man. This is a courageous step to take anywhere, but more so in Japan, a society that remains squeamish about discussing such crimes. This documentary follows Ito in the months after she came forward.

Humans
9pm, Channel 4
Penultimate episode of the dystopian series. In the bigger picture, we are forced to think about how governments treat minorities. In the smaller, we ponder how no show has been invented that is not improved by Mark Bonnar, stellar here, in Catastrophe and in Line of Duty, to name a few. Tonight, the post-Dryden landscape prompts flip-flopping from Laura. John Robinson
Good Evening Britain
9.15pm, ITV
A post-watershed edition of Good Morning Britain? Timed to follow England’s final group game in Russia? It’s a chilling prospect – Susanna Reid will be the custodian of the sanity of every viewer as she attempts to marshal Piers Morgan towards coherence. There’ll be guests, too. Hopefully many, many guests. Phil Harrison
Mock the Week
10pm, BBC Two
The panel show with a topical tinge looks back on another eventful week in world events, including the unfolding dramas of England’s World Cup exploits in Russia. Host Dara O Briain and regular Hugh Dennis welcome guest panellists Angela Barnes, Desiree Burch, Ed Byrne, Glenn Moore and the ever-surreal Milton Jones. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Film choice
The Limey 9pm, AMC (1999)
Terence Stamp is the Limey, a British ex-convict who goes to LA to investigate the death of his daughter, who was mixed up with a rock music producer (Peter Fonda). It’s great to see these 60s icons going head to head. Director Steven Soderbergh described his film as Get Carter made by Alain Resnais. Paul Howlett
