We Have Been Watching
8pm, Gold
New addition to the curious watching-people-watching-television genre. The twist in this case is that the people watching TV comedies have also acted in them themselves. The commentators – including Meera Syal, David Baddiel, Ralf Little and Ricky Tomlinson – are funny people, and their critiques and appreciations are well informed, even if some jumpy editing gets in the way. Andrew Mueller
No Offence
9pm, Channel 4
The return of Paul Abbott’s entertaining, comedy-tinged procedural drama sees Joanna Scanlan’s Viv come back from extended leave only to be plunged right into, er, the thick of it. As the extraordinary circumstances of an attempted murder at a funeral (an explosion, no less) become clear, a vicious set-to shapes up between rival gangleaders and their families. Paul Ritter’s forensics expert is a particular delight amid the carnage. David Stubbs
Italy’s Invisible Cities
9pm, BBC1
In this enjoyable opener, Alexander Armstrong and Dr Michael Scott travel to Il Bel Paese. A trip both cultural and geological, their visit to the bay of Naples uncovers fruity detail (“See Naples and die” was a reference to its 18th-century syphilis problem) and physical marvels. Taking a break from strained banter, the pair visit the jawdropping network of tunnels created by the Bourbons, from which the city’s preferred building stone was also sourced. John Robinson
Pop Quiz: The Comeback
9.30pm, BBC4
One of the most reliable sources of delight on the BBC iPlayer is the small, rotating cache of early 80s Top of the Pops episodes. This two-part revival of the same era’s music quiz is a cheerful companion piece to those cherishable slices of pop culture, offering an opportunity to catch up – a few decades on – with the likes of Nick Heyward, Cheryl Baker, David Grant and Ranking Roger. Mike Read reprises his role as host. Phil Harrison
A Very British Brothel
10pm, Channel 4
The last time a Channel 4 documentary crew visited Sheffield’s City Sauna – a pub-turned-massage-parlour – they encountered pragmatic mother-daughter team Kath and Jenni, plus a couple of talkative regulars and a goldfish called Pimp. Now, more than a year later, business is booming to the extent that Kath is actively scouting for a second location, while also dealing with day-to-day problems such as damp in the lounge.

In Therapy: Coleen Nolan
10pm, Channel 5
The Nolans have publicly aired much of their family drama, so it’s no surprise that youngest sibling and long-serving Loose Woman Coleen Nolan has decided to book televised sessions with Channel 5’s resident therapist, Mandy Saligari. At first, such an intimate insight into a stranger’s life – albeit familiar from tabloid splashes – makes for uncomfortable viewing. But, like all car-crash TV, you’ll find you just can’t look away.

Supernatural
10pm, E4
By this point, only the staunchest Supernaturaller will have the foggiest what’s going on, but a show doesn’t reach the wizened old age of 12 series without a few superfans occasionally updating its Wikipedia entry. This opener sees Sam withstanding “enhanced interrogation” of various hues at the hands of Toni, while Dean and the lads’ mum try to sniff him out. Meanwhile, Crowley is looking for Lucifer. As you do. Still nonsense, but of the ripely enjoyable sort. Luke Holland
Film choice
The Man Who Knew Too Much (Alfred Hitchcock, 1956), 11.20am, More4
Hitchcock’s glossy Technicolor remake of his own black-and-white 1934 British thriller stars James Stewart and Doris Day as a doctor and his wife holidaying in Morocco who have to sharpen up their act when their son is kidnapped. Many prefer the leaner, fun-filled original, but this grips, too – and has Day’s lovely rendition of Que Sera, Sera as a bonus. Paul Howlett
