The Masked Singer
7pm, ITV
Watching the Masked Singer can often feel like a hallucinogenic experience – an acid-trip viewing of X Factor Celebrity gone wrong. The American show gets its UK premiere with judges Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and, inexplicably, The Hangover’s Ken Jeong trying to work out which celebrity singers are behind their elaborate masked outfits. With the American version featuring stars such as T Pain and Gladys Knight, hopes are high for some top-quality singing talent from behind each mildly terrifying costume. Ammar Kalia
The Greatest Dancer
7pm, BBC One
Return of the schmaltz-heavy, by-the-numbers dance contest, the first series of which was blighted by accusations of racial bias. Will there be a bigger role for the judges rather than the studio audience this time? Alesha Dixon and Jordan Banjo host, with Love Island’s Curtis Pritchard on reception duty. Hannah J Davies
First & Last
8.15pm, BBC One
Finally, a reward for being very average. Jason Manford hosts this counterintuitive new gameshow that challenges 11 contestants with five silly tasks. The catch? Those who come first and last in each round get eliminated. The player who manages to be the most run-of-the-mill overall bags £10,000. Graeme Virtue
Clive James Evening
From 8.15pm, BBC Two
In the wake of Australian journalist and broadcaster Clive James’s death in November, here is an evening celebrating his work. It opens with James visiting his home city of Sydney and then his adopted home of London; and at 9.55pm Mary Beard interviews him in a programme from 2018. AK
The Voice UK
8.30pm, ITV
If the Masked Singer isn’t enough unidentifiable singing content for you then the return of The Voice should do it, with its spinning chairs and mighty head-to-heads. Joining regular judges Olly Murs, Tom Jones and Will.i.am is American singer Meghan Trainor, and all will be hoping to find their next star. AK
Wisting
9.05pm, BBC Four
A Scandi drama about a Norwegian maverick (Sven Nordin) investigating killings in beautiful landscapes, when an FBI agent (Carrie-Anne Moss) arrives and says he has a US serial killer on his hands. Tonight, Wisting and his team continue to search wells, and a discovery is made. Not revolutionary but it’s nicely put together. Jack Seale
Film choice
Atomic Blonde, 9pm, Channel 4
Charlize Theron reveals a talent for bone-crunching martial arts moves in David Leitch’s bruising cold war spy thriller. She’s a US agent being debriefed by MI6 in London about a botched mission in Berlin; clearly there’s a mole in their midst, and Theron has to bust a lot of heads to get to the truth. Paul Howlett
