Johnny Vegas: Art, ADHD and Me

9pm, Channel 4
Johnny Vegas (and his “longsuffering personal assistant” Bev) is hugely endearing in this two-parter following his public art project. The comedian graduated from art college 25 years ago and is committed to making a sculpture that gives something back to his beloved home town of St Helens – a welcome departure from other recent celebrity art exhibitions. His journey was filmed over four years; along the way, we see him navigate a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Hollie Richardson

MasterChef

8pm, BBC One
The BBC has made the surprising decision to air the new series of the long-running cooking competition, despite the judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode having been sacked. Fans and contestants – although not Sarah Shafi, who has been edited out after telling the show’s producers she did not want it to be broadcast – may argue that their enjoyment shouldn’t be ruined because of the action taken.

Destination X

9pm, BBC One

Rob Brydon’s competition blindfolds contestants, sends them on a bus around Europe and asks them to guess where they are at the end of each episode. With so many red herrings and impossibly hard clues, applying logic feels futile. Still, it’s weirdly addictive. HR

The Moors Murders: A Search for Justice

9pm, BBC Two
Nearly 60 years have passed since Ian Brady and Myra Hindley were tried and convicted, but the remains of a 12-year-old victim, Keith Bennett, are yet to be found. The second episode of this documentary continues to analyse new evidence and leads in the hope of finally bringing the case to a close. Ellen E Jones

The Fortune Hotel

9pm, ITV1
If Jet2 holidays did The Traitors … Stephen Mangan returns as a trickster Caribbean hotel manager who gives each team of two guests a suitcase – most of them empty, one with an “early checkout card” in it and another holding a £250,000 prize. Before they start guessing and swapping, they need to get into the hotel – but there isn’t room for everyone. HR

Air India Crash: What Went Wrong?

10pm, Channel 4
A quick turnaround enables this documentary to assess, two months on, why a London-bound Air India jet hit buildings in Ahmedabad just after takeoff, killing 260 people. Experts sift through theories involving pilot error and failures of software and electrical systems. Jack Seale
