Stopping Male Suicide
9pm, BBC Two
Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK. Or, as Dr Xand van Tulleken puts it, “the most likely thing to kill me is me”. Here, he attempts to divine the causes, talking to a survivor of a Golden Gate Bridge jump and learning about an algorithm that predicts future suicides (up to two years ahead) with 80-90% accuracy. It is also stressed that “in the fight against suicide, the power of a single conversation should not be underestimated”. Sensitive, candid and essential. Ali Catterall

How to Lose Seven Billion Pounds
