70 Up
9pm, ITV1
Asif Kapadia directs the final instalment of the long-running documentary (it first aired in 1964) and it does all its subjects – and their loyal viewers – proud. Meeting the now 70-year-olds again tugs at the existential heartstrings and some, such as cheeky dreamer Tony, have stayed close to their childhood selves, whereas the more mellow John worries about how he has been portrayed.

Race Against the Tide
7.30pm, BBC Two
The upbeat sand-carving competition reaches its semi-final, as good a reason as any for host Iain Stirling to dress up as a Baywatch lifeguard. He gives the remaining four teams six hours to construct the tallest sculpture they can. It’s a high-risk, high-reward challenge … but who will be left standing? Graeme Virtue

Beth is perfectly precise with patterns. Emma’s garments are packed with character. Anna’s love of costume has won her seven transformation challenges. Who will be this year’s champion?

Gemma Collins: Everything. All at Once
9pm, Sky One
It’s been 15 years since the GC introduced herself to the world on Towie. But this documentary series is the most personal look we’ve had – and it follows what Collins calls “the toughest year of my life”. From receiving hate mail to her mother’s illness, starting an IVF journey and her fiance’s addiction issues, it’s certainly a bumpy and emotional time. But there’s always some GC spirit to get by with. HR
Celebrity MasterChef
9pm, BBC One
It’s finals week in the kitchen and that means a few surprises. It’s off to Crufts for a slightly bizarre challenge: Michelin-starred chef Tom Shepherd has designed a doggy-style menu (including a bone-shaped dessert), which the finalists must cook. Then, back to base for a meal that evokes a favourite holiday. Phil Harrison
