Horizon: Are Video Games Really That Bad?
8pm, BBC2
The tone of the title reflects the concern of many generally older people that the immense popularity of increasingly immersive and addictive video games is curdling the brains of younger generations, perhaps with undesirable real-world consequences. It’s what they said about rock’n’roll and television, of course, and about which they were more wrong than right. As defenders of the games argue, they can actually enhance mental and physical capacities, especially among the elderly. Andrew Mueller
The Sound Of ITV: The Nation’s Favourite Theme Tune
8pm, ITV
Flimsy but irresistible list telly, as Victoria Wood counts down viewers’ 20 favourite themes from channel three. The test here is how often the show resorts to celebs saying: “Oh that was a good theme tune, wasn’t it? Der ner ner …” Answer: hardly at all. Where possible, that is if they’re still alive, the composers provide trivia about how music now deemed “iconic” was created, and how simple phrases defined careers. The theme voted No 1 isn’t any of the ones you’ll think of first. Jack Seale
Doctor Foster
9pm, BBC1
The flawless Suranne Jones continues to intrigue as Dr Gemma Foster, a GP whose life has been turned upside down by the discovery of her husband’s affair. Can she keep her composure at Simon’s 40th after rumbling his double life? She doesn’t take the straightforward path and this gripping second episode sees her make some strange decisions with her professional and personal life as the plot twists on. There are moments where you’ll shout at the TV as her life unravels, but it’s easy to remain on her side. Hannah Verdier
Jane The Virgin
9pm, E4
Unsurprisingly for a series that’s seen characters buried alive, impaled on ice sculptures and – of course – artificially inseminated by accident, the inexplicable twists continue to the end, as season one of the telenovela-inspired dramedy about an unexpectedly expectant mother concludes. Jane relies on support from exes Michael and Rafael as her due date approaches, but both men are keen to win her back. Elsewhere, Petra gets a piece of astonishing news. Here’s hoping it returns muy pronto. Hannah J Davies
Richard Hammond’s Jungle Quest
9pm, Sky1
Before Top Gear’s outlaw presenter trio rev up their new show for a certain multinational content provider, here’s Hammond exploring the actual Amazon. The Hamster has an interest in photography that extends beyond dodging speed cameras, and this new two-parter, made in partnership with the WWF, finds him on a “quest” to capture unique shots of rainforest wildlife, which involves tangling with a sloth and confronting his arachnophobia and fear of heights.

Later – With Jools Holland
10pm, BBC2
It’s funny to think of Squeeze as “re-formed”, as if they were a bunch of Deptford crims recently gone straight. But it’s great to see them (and with that couple of likely lads Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford at the wheel it’s definitely them) back in the same room as their former ivory tickler, Jools. The legendary song-crafters join our boogie-woogie host for a new series – the 47th, to be precise – which this week also features performances from My Morning Jacket, Foals, Disclosure and Rickie Lee Jones.

Frontline Fighting: The Brits Battling Isis
10pm, Channel 4
Forty-year-old Jim from Stoke-on-Trent, a former soldier and graduate of European philosophy, was teaching English in Saudi Arabia, but quit when he saw a picture online of an Isis militiaman holding the severed head of a woman. He is now fighting them with a Kurdish volunteer squad called the YPG, many of whom are women. He’s one of three Brits – there’s also Harry, 28, from Peterborough and Jac, 22, from Bournemouth – followed in this extraordinary piece of film-making from the Syrian frontline. Ben Arnold

Raising Arizona (Joel Coen, 1987) 7pm, Movie Mix
Nicolas Cage is in his element in this wild early Coen brothers farce. He’s the world’s worst robber, hitching up with police officer Holly Hunter and stealing one of a set of quintuplets when the couple prove childless. A chaotic chase ensues, involving his old convict buddies John Goodman and William Forsythe, and the somewhat less friendly bounty hunter, the Lone Biker of the Apocalypse (Randall Cobb). Paul Howlett
Chocolat (Lasse Hallström, 2000) 2am, Channel 4
In 1950s Gascony, the village of Lansquenet is a museum piece, preserved in staunch Catholic values by its stern mayor. Then in breezes Juliette Binoche’s Mme Rocher to turn the old bakery into a chocolate shop – and at Lent, too. There is a reactionary backlash, but her sweet wiles win over many of the villagers, not to mention the handsome Johnny Depp. PH
