The Simpler Life
9.15pm, Channel 4
“The abundance of the 21st century simply isn’t working,” claims Prof Barry Schwartz in this new series. “We’ve never been wealthier or had more choices, and yet rates of depression and anxiety are rising.” His solution? This six-episode social experiment to see “what actually happens to us when we radically simplify our lives”. Cue 24 workaholics, screen addicts and success-chasers who are ready to swap it all for the Amish way of life in Devon for a summer. Hollie Richardson
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer
8pm, Channel 4
A supremely relaxing hour of TV: celebrities including Clara Amfo and Emma Willis compete to raise money for charity. Baking innuendo abounds, of course – elephant-shaped biscuits are saved from looking phallic by some well-placed icing. Henry Wong
Somebody Somewhere
9pm, Sky Comedy
Another double-header of quietly beautiful comedy in Bridget Everett’s series about a woman struggling to fit in with her Kansas home town. Sam goes axe-throwing with Joel and continues her inept stalking of Rick as the action flits seamlessly between goofy belly-laughs and heartwarming scenes of burgeoning friendships. Alexi Duggins
Rock Till We Drop
9pm, BBC Two
The most uplifting series of the year so far reaches its final episode, and it’s four days before the two bands of older people are due to play live at the Isle of Wight festival. With just one more rehearsal left, disaster strikes when 72-year-old badass bass player Carol gets Covid. HR
This Is Going to Hurt
9.10pm, BBC One
Adam Kay’s brutally frank but funny drama about life as an NHS doctor has been near-perfect throughout. The final episode picks up two months after Shruti’s death – a guilt-ridden Adam has his tribunal, but will he tell the truth or save his own skin? HR
Peacemaker
10pm, Sky Max
Picking up where we left him in The Suicide Squad (in a hospital bed), John Cena is Peacemaker in this spin-off series. Breaking away from typical superhero tropes, this dark comedy’s protagonist believes in peace at any cost … no matter how many people he has to kill to get it (showrunner James Gunn has even said he is a “piece of shit”).
