Matt Willis: Fighting Addiction

9pm, BBC One

“I’m terrified of relapse. If I do that again, everything will end.” Busted member, actor and dad-of-three Matt Willis has spent most of his adult life dealing with addiction (he left rehab days before marrying his wife, Emma Willis, in 2008). Now sober, in this documentary he investigates his past to try to find the root cause, while also putting the spotlight on the people in his life that it has affected the most, including Emma.

Designing the Hebrides

8pm, BBC Two

Just when you thought your host Banjo couldn’t get any more lovable, he sheds a tear thinking about what the farm he calls home means to him. The catalyst is a brief for a gin-tasting bar on a tiny budget. Scavenging for church pews and imagining “a secret door of cheeseboards” lightens the mood as he gets busy. Hannah Verdier

Kids

9pm, Channel 4

Growing up in the care system is challenging enough, but what happens when you turn 18 and have to leave? This week, the powerful and often wrenching series embedded with Coventry children’s services examines two such cases. Hedonistic Byron seems to relish his independence (at least at first); introvert Bayley is more equivocal. Graeme Virtue

Rookie Nurses

9pm, BBC Three

“When I first put those blues on, I got impostor syndrome,” says upbeat A&E nurse Mikey. “I thought I was in fancy dress.” And yet he is exactly the nurse you’d want, as he proves when he treats a head-and-neck injury. He’s one of the seven freshly graduated Welsh nurses in this new documentary series. HR

Naked Attraction

10pm, Channel 4

This dating show manages to have its cake and eat it, being both mildly titillating and admirably body-positive. Sam from Melton Mowbray is in search of a superhero-style partner and Tony, a former Royal Marine from Plymouth, is looking for a woman compatible with his dog and his son from a previous relationship.
