Storyville: The Contestant
10pm, BBC Four
The Japanese comedian Tomoaki Hamatsu thought he was going to an audition. But when a producer asked him to strip naked and carry out a series of challenges, it turned out he wasn’t being told the truth. In fact, he was being filmed and broadcast to 15 million people. Amazingly, he stayed in the room for 15 months. This documentary tells the story of an unsettling 1998 experiment. Phil Harrison
Bake Off: The Professionals
8pm, Channel 4
The heat is rising as the pastry chefs take on two tricky tasks set by the patissier experts Cherish Finden and Benoit Blin: recreating the latter’s legendary le café crème (with no recipe!) and conjuring up an illusion of dessert for 24 people, with a hidden vegetable cake inside. Ali Catterall
24 Hours in A&E
9pm, Channel 4
Yet more misadventures, this time from Queen’s medical centre in Nottingham. This week, the aftermath of a motorcycle accident, a fall from a roof and a city centre fight. As ever, what’s really striking is the care and patience of staff in the face of situations that would panic lesser mortals. PH
The Yorkshire Vet: At Home With the Greens
9pm, Channel 5
The Yorkshire vet Peter Wright checks in on his oldest clients: 95-year-old Steve Green and his wife Jean (a sprightly 73). The veteran cattle farmers have been stymied by a cold snap – which gives Jean plenty of time to mull over whether to get her first tattoo. Graeme Virtue
What It Feels Like for a Girl
9pm, BBC Three
“We owe it to clubbers everywhere to accept this gift … because this pill is our gift.” So says Byron in the intro to this instalment of the excellent dramatisation of Paris Lees’s 00s-set autobiography. Presumably, the resulting awful comedown that sees them hallucinate horses is also their duty, but it’s stressful viewing for everyone else. Alexi Duggins
In the Footsteps of Killers
10pm, Channel 4
This bleak true-crime show sees the criminologist David Wilson, the detective Graham Hill and the Silent Witness actor Emilia Fox (bringing her experience of investigating fictional crimes) explore unsolved murders. This time, they’re back in 1993, looking at the case of the Lambeth council employee Bulic Forsythe, who was beaten to death in his own home. PH
Film choice
Walking and Talking (Nicole Holofcener, 1996), 1.15am, Film4
Between television assignments, Nicole Holofcener makes witty, perceptive films about women’s lives, usually set in New York. This 1996 drama was her first, and follows best friends from childhood Amelia (Catherine Keener) and Laura (Anne Heche) as their bond is stress-tested by Laura’s engagement to her boyfriend, Frank (Todd Field). The title says it all, with the minutiae of female friendship, sex and relationships dissected by the pals in ways that aren’t always that helpful. Simon Wardell
