Who Do You Think You Are?
9pm, BBC One
Josh Widdicombe had an idyllic childhood. He grew up on Dartmoor, his family didn’t lock the door when they went away and he was in a school class with just three other kids, all of whom sound like extras from The Famous Five. “My fear,” he worries, “is that I come from a really boring family.” But the great thing about this returning series is that it usually establishes that hardly any of us does. And so it proves; in fact, it seems Josh is incredibly posh. Street cred gone but a fascinating journey. Phil Harrison
The Great British Bake Off
8pm, Channel 4
Not to be confused with all the other weeks when the bakers make desserts, this is officially dessert week. If the last series’ suet-centred disasters and surprising lack of jelly-based wobbles are anything to go by, expect the bakers to triumph spectacularly and fail abysmally. Hannah J Davies
Dementia & Us
9pm, BBC Two
“I still love him … and I just don’t want him to go into care.” A year after the BBC started following a group of people with dementia and their families, a certain global crisis has begun to have an impact on those for whom social interaction helps keep minds active. The concluding part of this enlightening series. Ali Catterall
Murder Island
9.15pm, Channel 4
The entertaining (and ambitious) murder mystery reality show continues. After a slow start, the sleuths are starting to make some progress as they examine Charly’s relationships on the island. But the islanders seem a taciturn lot – how can they be persuaded to open up? Meanwhile, the real coppers look on sceptically. PH
Guilt
10pm, BBC Scotland
The first season of this dark thriller about two brothers attempting to cover up a killing became a word-of-mouth hit in 2019. The clue is in the title: writer Neil Forsyth is more interested in the psychology of guilt than its more overt manifestations. As we rejoin Max McCall (Mark Bonnar), he is out of prison. But the ramifications of the accident continue to unspool. PH
Question Team
10pm, Dave
An unconventional setup for this new panel show hosted by Richard Ayoade – guests are invited to bring in questions of their own, the only stipulation being that they must have proper answers. This opening episode includes, among others, Bob Mortimer. PH
Film choice
The Mother (Roger Michell, 2003), 9pm, BBC Four
Showing as a tribute to the late director Roger Michell, this 2003 drama, written by Hanif Kureishi, was the first of two fruitful, pre-Bond collaborations with Daniel Craig (Enduring Love came out a year later). However, the film really belongs to Anne Reid, terrific as a widow who breaks out of her domestic rut by starting an affair with a young handyman. It is beautifully handled by Michell, from the halting tenderness of the couple’s relationship to her children’s unfeeling ageism. Simon Wardell
