Trans Kids: It’s Time to Talk
10pm, Channel 4
Growing up in the 1980s, the psychotherapist, author and married mother-of-two Stella O’Malley was convinced that she should have been born a boy. But would she have sought gender transition – as a growing proportion of kids are now doing (the number of young people referred to the NHS’s gender identity service over the past nine years has risen from 97 in 2009 to 2,519 in the year to April) – if she had had the chance back then? In this film, she talks with children, parents and academics about the issue. Ali Catterall

The Apprentice
9pm, BBC One
The show that deals more in comedy than commerce continues, having lost 90% of its charisma last week when Kayode was fired.

In a cod-medieval realm where magic is real, a stranded office temp, Brian (James Buckley), signs up for the Munty city guard reserves, unaware that a diabolical threat is coalescing in a nearby forest.
