Billy Monger: Changing Gear

8pm, Channel 4

As their buildup to the Paralympics continues, C4 is rolling out a range of programming showcasing disabled athletes. Billy Monger raced F4 cars until 2017 when an accident led to the amputation of both of his legs. He’s since returned to racing and is also part of C4’s Formula 1 commentary team. In this doc, he trains with Team GB’s Paralympic stars, trying running blades with Jonnie Peacock, swimming in open water with Alice Tai and canoeing with Charlotte Henshaw. Phil Harrison

Michael Johnson Meets Will Bayley

Matt Baker: Our Farm in the Dales

7pm, Channel 4

The concluding part of a celebrity documentary series that’s been as much about families of all kinds as it has been about sheep farming. Along with three generations of his clan, Baker completes their efforts to save the family business – but have they made it sustainable? Jack Seale

More hi-jinks from Ashley Banjo, Fleur East and the huge tank holding 520,000 litres of water that they delight in calling The Void.
