Hunted
9pm, Channel 4
While Celebrity Hunted has become the splashier hit, the core concept of grabbing a go-bag, abandoning your quotidian life and melting into the grey, faceless throng has always seemed like a better fit for the original civilian edition. As the fourth season kicks off in Liverpool, another 10 volunteers – including a former prisoner with previous experience of being on the run – pit their wits against a determined squad of wily thief-takers backed up by the unfettered surveillance mechanisms of the state. Graeme Virtue

The Orville
9pm, Fox
We’re on to season two of Seth MacFarlane’s semi-comic Star Trek homage, which means that viewers who couldn’t hack its unusual mix of earnestness and light spoofery have been largely weeded out. As the crew try to save survivors on a doomed planet, Bortus and Klyden undergo some marriage counselling. Jack Seale

Flirty Dancing
10pm, Channel 4
Choreographer Ashley Banjo puts the Strictly effect into motion in this new series, by seeing whether dancing can bring people together romantically.
