Riot Girls
10pm, Channel 4
The threat of hidden-camera pranks is one black mark against this comedy pilot, while sketches exploring “issues” such as the gender pay gap and public transport manspreading sound worryingly worthy. Still, the talent of these young comics may just win out. The fearless foursome includes standup Sophie Duker, ex-teacher Jen Wakefield, Cam Spence, who made the award-winning short film Polly, and Grace “daughter of Alastair” Campbell. Could it be Smack the Pony 2018? As long as funny doesn’t lose out to topical.

Food Unwrapped: China Special

Ambulance
9pm, BBC One
Another sensitively handled episode of the show that follows paramedics in action. Tonight: the aftermath of knife crime, a suspected overdose, and an elderly person with a mobility scooter injury. As real-life drama, it’s perfectly weighted. As an unselfconsciously pro-NHS broadcast, it’s essential.

Scandal

Film choice
The Bourne Supremacy (Paul Greengrass, 1994) 9pm, ITV4 The middle part of the trilogy, with Paul Greengrass taking over from Doug Liman and driving the action along at a lethal rate.
