Stormzy Live in London: This Is What We Mean

10pm, Channel 4

The Croydon grime phenomenon headlines the first day of east London festival All Points East. Stormzy’s 2022 album This Is What We Mean showcased a more varied and pensive side to his music and his recent collaborations with Fredo and Raye have received a mixed reception. But he can still be relied upon to bring the bangers live – he’s developed into one of the more formidable solo performers in UK music. Phil Harrison

Levison Wood: Walking With Polar Bears

7pm, Channel 4

After previously seeking out orangutans in Borneo and lions in Namibia, the rugged explorer heads to Greenland to try to catch sight of one of the most endangered species on Earth. But even with the help of affable local guides on skidoos, the result are inconclusive. Might a summer voyage north improve their chances? Graeme Virtue

World on Fire

9pm, BBC One

The second season of this thoroughly involving war drama concludes, with the psychological damage wrought by the conflict increasingly plain to see. Harry is shipped back to Manchester (and domestic chaos) amid concerns about his mental health, while Kasia heads in the opposite direction, straight into the heart of the battle. PH

Alone

9pm, Channel 4

Back to the Canadian wilderness, where our hapless heroes are struggling with this survival contest. The focus is on finding food – the Mackenzie River isn’t an easy place to fish, particularly if you’ve never cast off in earnest before. When something unexpected appears in one net, it threatens to push the contender over the edge. PH

Boot Dreams: Now Or Never

9pm, BBC Three

Elite football is brutal: for every player who builds a career, there are dozens who fall by the wayside. Roman Kemp presents this series following a team of rejected players looking for one last shot. It’s bittersweet – the odds are against these lads and there’s a lot of expectation management involved – but coach Gifton Noel-Williams is a brilliantly positive presence. PH

Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York

9pm, Sky Documentaries

The penultimate episode of this series shifts the focus away from the murderer to the gay and bisexual men he dismembered; all but victim-blamed in the media. There is a breakthrough, courtesy of an eyewitness, national press coverage and the creation of a multi-jurisdictional taskforce. Ali Catterall
