Who Do You Think You Are?
8pm, BBC1
Ruby Wax has not probed much into her past; eventually, this episode becomes as much a wider education about the Holocaust as a journey into family. Mental health issues have informed much of Wax’s recent life and her investigations focus less on her parents’ flight from their home in Vienna than on the fate of her great-grandmother and great aunt who were, it turns out, both institutionalised in the same facility. John Robinson
Billion Dollar Deals and How They Changed Your World
8pm, BBC2
In 2015, cashless payments in the UK increased by 164%. In the second of this series, Jacques Peretti explores how we are increasingly dispensing with the folding stuff in favour of electronic, contactless, online payments. Cash is increasingly connoted with criminality. But who are the forces behind all this, and who stands to gain? Peretti interviews some of those involved in the rise of organisations such as Uber, M-Pesa and PayPal. David Stubbs
Your Face or Mine
8pm, Comedy Central
Unhateable celebrity lovebirds Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon are the contestants as the gameshow returns. To win cash for charity, Swash and Stace must judge their own and each other’s attractiveness, in comparison to random punters and surprise guests. Mildly offensive, but good-humoured and at least it sticks to faces: someone somewhere is surely cooking up a nightmarish cross between this and Naked Attraction. Jack Seale
The Apprentice
9pm, BBC1
Egos visible from the moon. Teams called “Graphene” and “Vitality”. Contenders proclaiming the certainty that they’ll “absolutely smash it”. Yes, The Apprentice is back. And even though Alan Sugar launches this series with a rubbish Brexit joke, it’s basically the same deal, even if making posh burgers might not have been on the agenda back in 2005. It’s still a parade of grotesques. It still has little to do with actual business. And it is still guiltily entertaining. Phil Harrison
The Detectives: Murder on the Streets
9pm, BBC2
Part three of this four-parter, shot over two years with the Greater Manchester police. It is inevitably gripping, following the detectives as they pursue genuine murder cases, and is handled with correct sensitivity by the film-makers. In this episode, multiple suspects are being held over the death of a young homeless man, while the unit also investigates one of the most perplexing kinds of cases: one where there is a suspect, but no body. Andrew Mueller
Back
10pm, Channel 4
Penultimate episode of the unofficial Peep Show reunion, and Andrew continues to usurp Stephen at the John Barleycorn. When disaster strikes at the pub – rather conveniently, perhaps – Andrew buys Cass’s shares in order to undertake renovations. While the influence of Jez and Mark looms large, Back is tight and watchable in its own right, with the possibility that Andrew could be a manipulative sociopath – or, at best, a Walter Mitty type – adding some edge. Hannah J Davies
Woodsmen
10pm, History
The forests of the Pacific Northwest may seem serene, yet among the redwoods a whole heap of illegal activity is going on. With wood from one tree worth thousands for illegal loggers and no police stations nestled amongst the larches, land owners often turn vigilante to protect their livelihoods. This new series follows Chewelah Mountain woodsman Jay, whose tactics for scattering miscreants encompass everything from subtle sabotage to sawn-off firearms. Mark Gibbings-Jones

Three Kings (David O Russell, 1999), 11pm, TCM
The first Gulf war is almost done and three US soldiers find a map (don’t ask where) locating Saddam’s bullion. Hunting the treasure is, of course, a hoary plot device, but the searing script is a smart weapon, a subversive mix of dark comedy, moral drama and visceral action. With terrific performances from George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube, it’s both humane and healthily cynical.
Suntan (Argyris Papadimitropoulos, 2016), 11.10pm, Film4
Middle-aged Doc Kostis (Makis Papadimitriou) is working quietly on a small Greek island, when a beautiful tourist, Elli Tringou’s Anna, arrives for treatment. She capriciously allows him into her hedonistic gang – it’s the sad eyes, and he buys the beers. But Kostis’s fantasy of a relationship with Elli is painfully exposed, chiefly by the ruthless contrast between youthful, uninhibited beauty and his paunchy paleness. Paul Howlett
