The Circle
9.15pm, Channel 4
It was inevitable that a production company would come up with a reality show that plays upon our anxieties over social media – and here it is. The Circle’s premise is that competitors, who never meet in person, communicate only through a voice-activated social media platform. Up to £50,000 rests on winning what’s basically a popularity contest and, at the very least, it will be intriguing to see whether honesty or outright fibbing is the best approach as contestants build profiles from scratch. Continues tomorrow. Jonathan Wright

Smokey and the Bandit (Hal Needham, 1977) 9.15am, 6.20pm, Sky Cinema Greats
With easy charm and a cheesy grin, the late Burt Reynolds was a huge star in the 1970s, and this was one of his biggest hits. He’s amiable adventurer Bandit, smuggling beer across state lines in the deep south and playing cat-and-mouse with chief “smokey” (or cop), played by Jackie Gleason. Paul Howlett
