Can I Improve My Memory?
8pm, Channel 4
On the evidence of this entertaining inquiry, the answer must be: yes. If techniques exist to enhance Joey Essex’s powers of recall then you can probably improve yours, too. The memory challenge, hosted by Michael Buerk, sees three celebrities compete to become experts in unfamiliar topics: Essex mugs up on William the Conqueror; Gok Wan learns the periodic table; and Valerie Singleton gets to grips with UK grime artists. No one is more surprised by the results than the contestants themselves. Mike Bradley
Australia: Earth’s Magical Kingdom
9pm, BBC Two
The focus of tonight’s survey of wildlife wonders is Australia’s ocean wilderness, an environment that could be the subject of an entire series of its own. For tonight, though, we content ourselves with giant cuttlefish, southern right whales and, for the birders, rare Gould’s petrel and brown boobies. MB
Eamonn & Ruth
9pm, Channel 5
Resembling some gauche couple out of Raymond Briggs, Holmes and Langsford travel to Milan “to discover what kinds of people have made it Italy’s wealthiest city” (spoiler: rich kinds of people). While Eamonn tries to stuff spaghetti down his gob, Ruth attempts to break into George Clooney’s villa. Ali Catterall

9pm, More4
It was obvious from the off that mercenary Gary Banks was dodgy, so it will come as no surprise to find that Martin’s plan for him to help bring Lenora’s weapons shipment safely through the border war is destined to go awry. What you won’t have predicted is the scale of the impending disaster. Spectacular. MB

Broad City
