The Fanatics
8pm, Sky1
A new quizshow hosted by 50 Ways To Kill Your Mammy presenter Baz Ashmawy. The contests are extremists in their own way: people whose hobbies have taken a probably unhealthy grip on their lives but made them experts in their trivial fields. They will contest a series of studio-based challenges in order to see which of them is both best and saddest. In this opener, a Doctor Who devotee, a boxing aficionado and a London Underground minutiae obsessive are pitted against one another. David Stubbs
The Restoration Man
8pm, Channel 4
George Clarke returns to help new owners convert old piles into 21st-century homes, fulfilling all our vicarious property dreams. This week, Russ and Nadia have bought Foxhole Farm, which on closer inspection is essentially a pile of rotten bricks with beams in between. Clarke is all sympathy for the poor neglected farmhouse. However, the viewer’s sympathy is for the couple – a financially-stretched plumber and nurse with a young child – and the prospect of them spending winter in a caravan. DS
Supercars Vs Used Cars: The Trade Off
9pm, BBC2
Car salesmen Louis and Darren switch jobs in this fish-out-of-water doc. Louis is used to selling high-value supercars with eye-watering price tags to the wealthy denizens of London, while Darren is all high-volume sales punting runarounds to the folk of Bridgend, Glamorgan. Darren initially impresses new boss Joe with his Ferrari knowledge but finds it tough to seal the big deals. Meanwhile in Wales, Louis’s softly-softly approach just doesn’t cut it, with potential sales slipping through his fingers. Ben Arnold
24 Hours In A&E
9pm, Channel 4
Running alongside 24 Hours In Police Custody (Tuesday, 9pm, Channel 4), the hospital obs-doc is back to milk the nation’s emergency wards dry of matters of life and death. This opener features Will, a 13-year-old with a potentially serious head injury, along with Chris, who has been knocked off his motorbike. It’s a show that treads a very fine line: it might provide a hit of cathartic life-affirmation but contemplating the insensitivity of the film crew’s presence during such traumatic moments is often enough to undermine that.

Celebrity Big Brother: Live Launch
9pm, Channel 5
It’s too early to say which celebrities will be in the house this year, but chances are that it won’t be the brightest of the A-List. Still, host Emma Willis will have her game face on as she welcomes the new batch into a recently redesigned Big Brother house. The theme for this year’s show is “twisted fairytale” so expect surprise stunts and secrets, magic mirrors and all the manufactured drama you can handle. Rylan Clark will bring daily updates throughout the week on CBB’s Bit On The Side. Bim Adewunmi
Weekend Warriors
9pm, Yesterday
New series following the battle re-enactors who favour weekends spent alongside muskets in muddy fields over bickering about bathroom tiles in B&Q. It all kicks off with the English Civil War Society’s cover version of 1642’s siege of Marlborough, following the skirmish as accurately as modern safety standards will permit. The unintentional highlight here is the filmic direction afforded to the reconstructed rumbles themselves, lavished with performances that are less Ridley Scott than Barry Scott. Mark Jones
Mark Lawson Talks To Frances De La Tour
10.50pm, BBC4
Frances De La Tour has won three Olivier awards and a Tony during a career spanning five decades. From her Joan Of Arc at the National in 1984 to more recent roles in Harry Potter and Into The Woods, De La Tour has cemented a position as one of the UK’s most beloved character actors. But it is, of course, for Rising Damp’s lovelorn spinster Miss Ruth Jones with which she is most associated, and which will surely not go unmentioned here. Ali Catterall
NBA Basketball: Cleveland Cavaliers v Houston Rockets
12midnight, BT Sport 1
LeBron James’s decision to leave the Miami Heat for a return to Cleveland hasn’t turned into the championship-winning combo many predicted. LeBron has, by his own admission, struggled, and the team have been on the end of some beatings, including a 127-98 defeat by the Atlanta Hawks. The Rockets, led by Dwight Howard and James Harden, have found form since losing to the best team in the league, Golden State Warriors, in December. Lanre Bakare
