Below Deck Mediterranean (E4, 7.30pm)
THE American reality series continues, and after the crew’s first night off, Hannah puts her foot down when Bobby and Danny bring girls back to the yacht. Bryan attempts to smooth things over with the Captain, but the boys are given their first strike. Then, when an all-female group charters the yacht for their upcoming calendar shoot, the Ionian Princess crew struggles to keep up with their demands. As the crew assist the charter guests with their photo shoot, Danny breaks yachtie rule No 1 and drama ensues.
The Bay (ITV, 9pm)
It’s been a compelling second series for the crime drama, Morven Christie’s disgraced DC Lisa Armstrong having to battle to leave her image behind after that CCTV footage of her in the back alley with the prime suspect of the last case and allegations of hiding crucial evidence. Has she done enough, though, as we come to the final episode? Closing the case would certainly help – remember the businessman shot dead at a family barbecue, thrown for the boss of a well-respected firm of family solicitors? Well, plenty has happened since then and, Broadchurch-like, secrets have been flooding out of the locals in this seaside community. Now, a confession allows Lisa to identify a suspect. But surely one more twist remains…
Gordon Ramsay’s Bank Balance (BBC1, 9pm)
No not a glimpse of the fiery TV chef’s latest statements but rather a new prime-time game show with big cash prizes. It’s Ramsay’s first time fronting such a show – he’s usually to be found yelling in kitchens or punching disappointing salmon – so this will be a new experience for him and us. However, his affinity with high-pressure environments will certainly be useful here, as we’re promised a high-risk high-reward format where contestants can build up a fortune – or watch it come crashing down in an instant.
Extraordinary Escapes with Sandi Toksvig (C4, 9pm)
For most comedians, Scotland is like a second home thanks to the Edinburgh Festival. Sandi Toksvig is certainly no stranger to ‘Auld Reekie’, but has never actually ventured outside the capital. Here she’s joined by friend and fellow comedian Sindhu Vee to have a look around some of the best destinations that the nation has to offer, beginning at a private island off the coast of Skye, before checking into a luxury shooting lodge in the Highlands. An unexpected side-effect of the pandemic has been the ‘staycation travelogue’ – a new genre which gives us a fresh appreciation of our home turf. And we do have some hidden gems, not least of which is tonight’s final destination: a unique elliptical home overlooking the Sound of Mull.
Murder in a Small Town (C5, 9pm)
In 2003, Luke Mitchell was accused of brutally murdering 14-year-old schoolgirl Jodi Jones. He maintains his innocence to this day and now, after 17 years, two former detectives who now work as private investigators work together to re-examine the police and prosecution’s case against Mitchell. In this new two-parter, they uncover information which could possibly cast doubt on the verdict, including new evidence which emerged from a witness who was living in the area at the time, and details of another male’s DNA found at the scene.
Trump Takes On the World (BBC2, 9pm)
The three-part series draws to a close with perhaps the most shocking edition yet – mirroring the 45th President of the United States’ time in the White House, which began in headline-grabbing fashion and yet somehow managed to become more compelling and unbelievable as time went on. Here he sets his sights on Asia, launching the biggest trade war America has ever seen before forging one of the most unlikely friendships in diplomatic history, with one of the world’s most brutal dictators in North Korea’s Kim Jong-un.
