The Hunt: Prey vs Predator
9pm, Channel 4
An outdoorsy version of The Traitors? Or simply a massive game of tag with some arguing thrown in? Stripped across the week, this competition sees 10 strangers let loose in a forest and set various challenges. The catch? They begin each day designated as either prey or predator so a freeform game of hide and seek also ensues as the prey try to evade capture. But if you’re still a predator at the end of the day’s running around, you face The Cull! There are trace elements of many previous shows in this daft mixture of strategy, physical prowess and avarice (£100k awaits the winner) but soon tensions are running high enough to provide mindless, guilty pleasure.

The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer
7.40pm, Channel 4
Another batch of celebs enter the tent for charity. And alongside Paul Hollywood, they find themselves facing a new judge: Cherish Finden from the professional version of the show will be joining the panel. The bakers include Joe Wilkinson, Roisin Conaty, Rose Matafeo and Judi Love and, as ever, it’s good, unapologetically formulaic fun. PH
The Capture
9pm, BBC One
Season three of the paranoid techno-thriller continues. Holliday Grainger’s stressed SO15 chief is so convinced that her new boss, Pierson, is a killer she has sneakily delivered him to CIA bruiser Frank for a grilling. The result is a high-stakes face-off between Killian Scott and Ron Perlman to see who can sound the most gravelly. Graeme Virtue
Forensics: The Real CSI
9pm, BBC Two
After a flurry of ATM robberies using the sort of hydraulic rescue tools that free trapped victims from car wrecks, police in Cumbria and the West Midlands join forces to try to stop the perps making any more unauthorised withdrawals. Will forensic analysis help them collar the so-called Jaws-of-Life Gang? GV
The Picture of Dorian Gray: The Read With Luke Thompson
9pm, BBC Four
Luke Thompson (of Bridgerton fame) brings Oscar Wilde’s gothic meditation on age, beauty and mortality to life in this simple but spellbinding production. The text remains a brilliant allegory about vanity and self-acceptance, and Thompson does it full justice. PH
In Our Blood: The Forever Chemicals Scandal
10.15pm, ITV1
The people of Bentham lived with fire-fighting foam. Parents remember their children playing with clouds of it as it drifted across the streets from the headquarters of the small Yorkshire town’s main employer, Angus Fire, which manufactured it. This bleak but essential documentary explores the aftermath – the foam contained Pfas (“forever chemicals”) and Bentham is contaminated. The health implications for the people living in the town are itemised in painful detail. PH
