Race Across the World
8pm, BBC One
Time to strap on the big rucksacks again, as the BBC’s globetrotting hit returns for a sixth series. The starting gun is in Sicily, where five duos psych themselves up for a 12,000km yomp through Europe and Asia without access to flights, phones or much in the way of funds. Their ultimate goal? Northern Mongolia (and a £20,000 prize if they are first). Graeme Virtue
Yorkshire’s Poshest Hotel: Grantley Hall
8pm, Channel 5
At Grantley Hall, preparations ramp up for its first Halloween party, with interior and ambience manager Marek racing to spook up the hotel with pumpkins and pop-up coffins.

Kegworth: Flight to Disaster
9pm, BBC Two

Dispatches: Click to Kill – The AI War Machine

As technology plays an ever-increasing role in war, software from companies such as data behemoth Palantir, drones and AI are now ubiquitous on the battlefield. This frequently terrifying one-off considers the reality of big tech’s involvement in conflicts such as Gaza, with anonymised contributions from ex-Israeli intelligence analysts. Hannah J Davies
Harry Clark Goes to Rome
10.40pm, BBC One
It could be argued that Harry Clark’s behaviour in season two of The Traitors lacked a little Christian virtue. Harry is a Catholic but very much of the lapsed variety; in this documentary, he visits Rome and Vatican City in order to attempt to reconnect with his faith. PH
