Silence Is Golden
9pm, U&Dave
Like Prime Video’s hit show Last One Laughing (but not nearly as good), here’s another comedy competition that rewards silence – and this time it’s the audience who need to shut it, or else the £250,000 prize fund dwindles with each outburst. Trying to break them in week one: comedians including Katherine Ryan, Seann Walsh and Fatiha El-Ghorri. Dermot O’Leary is the host with a few tricks of his own up his sleeve – and he’s the only one allowed to laugh. Hollie Richardson
Jonathan Dimbleby: My Father and Belsen
10pm, BBC Four
Initially, the BBC refused to play Richard Dimbleby’s broadcasts of the horrors he found when he joined British troops as they discovered Belsen death camp – they didn’t believe the scenes he described. He returned to the camp twice, and filmed both times. Now, 80 years since the liberation, his son Jonathan tells the story of his father’s visits to Belsen, the significance of his work and the lasting impact it had on his life. HR

999: The Critical List
9pm, Channel 4
Theatre 6 at the Royal Blackburn hospital is the only room for unplanned surgeries, leading to some scrupulous, if fairly urgent, decisions. This week it’s hosting committed smoker David, 65, whose leg is in danger of turning septic; and care worker Julie, who has just received devastating, life-altering news. Ali Catterall
The Honesty Box
9pm, E4
The reality dating show that really should have been called “Lie Detector Island” continues, with Vicky Pattison and “sincerity coach” Lucinda Light encouraging further frankness from swimsuited twentysomethings, aided by some dubious tech. Now the producers employ the age-old tactic of shaking things up with a new arrival. To the Truth Terrace! Jack Seale
The Last of Us
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina’s (Isabela Merced) journey to Seattle went suspiciously smoothly – right until they encountered a vomit-inducing massacre site. There’s plenty for fans to get nervous about, as the overconfident young pair, hoping to avenge Joel, blindly enter a city swarming with Wolves. HR
Film choice
Raging Bull (Martin Scorsese, 1980), 10.30pm, BBC Two
Robert De Niro solidified his reputation as the finest method actor of his generation with the Oscar-winning role of boxer Jake LaMotta in Martin Scorsese’s 1980 biopic. It’s a brutal, beautiful vision of a single-minded man warped by jealousy, with De Niro piling on the muscle, then the pounds, as LaMotta’s career rises and falls. Joe Pesci is superb as his exasperated brother/manager Joey, while Cathy Moriarty gets all the sympathy as the boxer’s wife, Vickie, who receives the brunt of his violent tendencies – world-beating in the ring, disastrous out of it.
