60 Days on the Streets
9pm, Channel 4
Affable survival expert Ed Stafford has made countless TV shows about coping with extreme environments, from arid deserts to shark-infested mangroves. But his latest challenge is much closer to home: documenting himself sleeping rough in the UK over the recent winter. Future instalments of this eye-opening three-parter will see Stafford pitch up in London and Glasgow but he begins in Manchester, learning first-hand about the harsh and often volatile reality of life on the streets from those dealing with it every night.

Better Things
