Race Across the World

Poor Brydie and Sharon have been eliminated, while best pals Alfie and Owen take the lead as they leave Cambodia in search of the next checkpoint on the Thai-Myanmar border.

The Repair Shop

Andi Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts

Professor T
9pm, ITV1
“This is Prof Tempest. I’m calling with information about a murder.” A mysterious case of a road-accident victim – who, it is discovered, wasn’t actually killed by the car crash – has disturbing parallels with our eponymous criminologist’s own past, while also revealing how far mothers will go to protect their children, in this grave series three closer. Ali Catterall
The Red King
9pm, Alibi
Wales’s answer to The Wicker Man continues apace, as copper Grace Narayan (Anjli Mohindra) investigates the fishy disappearance and death of a teenage boy on an island with pagan roots. “The True Way? That’s just hocus pocus for the tourists.” Or could something more culty be going on – hence the grisly warning left on her bed? AC
Mammoth
10pm, BBC Two
It’s the final episode of this short but promising retro comedy about a mustachioed teacher who is frozen in the 70s and revived in the present day. After his friend dies, Mammoth (Mike Bubbins) decides he doesn’t want to grow old alone – so he (somewhat overconfidently) enters the world of dating apps. HR
Film choice
The Bourne Identity (Doug Liman, 2002), 6pm, Sky Cinema Greats
Less is more in Doug Liman’s masterpiece. Taking the Mission: Impossible thriller template and stripping out all the hi-tech, stunt-heavy action scenes unexpectedly makes the film more exciting. And casting Matt Damon as amnesiac spy-on-the-run Jason Bourne gives the main character an everyman vibe that serves the story well. More likely to have a scrap in a kitchen than wreck a runaway train, the resourceful Bourne is a hero Le Carré might have recognised – and set a new benchmark for modern espionage heroes.
