Care Home Kids: Looking For Love
9pm, BBC3
Ashley John-Baptiste is widely known as the guy who quit The X Factor (he left boy band The Risk last year while they were still in the running). Here, though, he wants to talk about something else: from the age of two until he was an adult he was in care and moved between foster and child care homes. Though he admits he's done remarkably well in life, he still carries the emotional scars of his upbringing. In this documentary he revisits the care system, meeting children who are currently in care, to try to find out what really went on. Martin Skegg
Horizon: The Truth About Looking Younger
9pm, BBC2
Hold up – don't book that Botox appointment yet. Plastic surgeon Dr Rozina Ali has some news from the world of ageing science that may help you defeat nature's cruel wish to make everyone wrinkly. First up, we need to study lorry drivers, as they age more quickly on the side of the face exposed to the window. Then there's the eye of the squid, which could hold the secret to producing pills for sun protection, doing away with messy lotion that always has sand in it. Finally, a cream that replaces skin sugar, and so reduces wrinkles, is being developed. MS

Arena: Amy Winehouse – The Day She Came To Dingle
10pm, BBC4
The weather was appropriately stormy when a certain pop legend touched down in a remote Irish outpost in December 2006. Amy Winehouse may have been performing for little more than 80 people that night in the tiny St James Church, but the gig, filmed for Irish music programme Other Voices, would turn out to be one of the most exquisite and intimate performances she'd ever give. Here's that session – a stripped-down Back To Black set accompanied only by guitar and bass – plus interviews with some who were there. Haunting, searing and magnificent. Ali Catterall
The Daily Show
10.30pm, Comedy Central Extra
Huzzah! Nightly editions of Jon Stewart's peerless news satire are finally back on UK screens, popping up on Comedy Central 24 hours after US transmission. It's election season, a period when American politics becomes even more frenzied than usual, which should provide plenty of low-hanging fruit for Stewart and his Best F#@king News Team Ever. Expect plenty of digs at Republican candidate Mitt "Mitt-bot" Romney, as well as Stewart's usual catalogue of gurns and endearingly rubbish impressions. Bring it on! Gwilym Mumford
