The 1% Club, 9.00pm, Virgin Media One
This gets more addictive by the week and it's a throwback to the 'all-around-the-telly' shows from the past.
It’s a quiz hosted by the razor-sharp Lee Mack in which the questions have nothing to do with remembering facts but are all about logic and common sense.
Not much of either about these post-covid days, eh?
A hundred contestants begin every show, but who will make it to the end and answer a question only one per cent of the country can get right - and win up to £100,000?
The Responder, 9.00pm, BBC One
Martin Freeman (below) continues to do the business in this gritty cop show based in Liverpool.
Chris needs a day job, so he agrees to find someone Franny is looking for called Vernon Hartley. But can he convince Vernon's mother and grandmother to give up his location?
Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour, 9.00pm, BBC Two
Rob Rinder and Rylan Clark (below) head to Florence, setting out to discover how grand tourists tried to uncover the secrets of the Renaissance in the Italian city.
Their journey begins with a climb up to the spectacular dome of the city's cathedral, before they view statues of the biblical figure of David by Michelangelo and Donatello, and visit the Uffizi gallery, home of the Venus de Milo sculpture.
Metroland, 10.15pm, BBC Four
Here’s a bit of an oddity from the BBC archives - a combination of poetry and transport.
In a documentary from 1973, then UK poet Laureate John Betjeman takes a nostalgic look at the branch lines of the London Underground's Metropolitan Line and their meanderings through suburban Middlesex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

Top-notch Agatha Christie whodunit, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh (below), with Daisy Ridley, Derek Jacobi and Johnny Depp.

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, 12.00pm, BBC Two
Another classic from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.
This is presumably tying-in with the current cinema release of Made in England: The Films of Powell & Pressburger, Martin Scorsese’s homage to one of cinema’s greatest double acts.
This time it’s a superb satirical drama, starring Roger Livesey, Deborah Kerr, Anton Walbrook and John Laurie, all about the changing dynamics of combat.
