Martin Clunes: Islands of Australia (ITV, 8pm)
The actor begins the next part of his journey on Mundoo Island, which has provided shelter and a way of life for five generations of one farming family. Martin Clunes joins Colin and Sally Grundy for a day of cattle mustering. He also explores Phillip Island, one of Australia's favourite playgrounds, then heads south to King Island, in the blustery Bass Strait between Tasmania and mainland Australia. Martin completes his odyssey with a visit to see one of the region's most iconic creatures, the Tasmanian Devil.
Sugar Free Farm (ITV, 9pm)
The celebrities reach the halfway mark of their time on the farm, and the experts are ready to pile on the pressure. The group no longer craves sugar, so nutritionist Hala El-Shafie decides to treat them by offering up big, fat, juicy steaks - the catch being that they must choose which of the animals they have been tending to go to slaughter; it's a move too far for Joe Pasquale, while Alison Hammond and Peter Davison are uncomfortable about making a lethal decision too. Meanwhile, Stavros Flatley Sr receives some shocking news courtesy of an MRI scan, and Gemma Collins' lack of experience when it comes to physical labour could cost both her and her colleagues a decent meal. She also chooses the wrong day to become a vegetarian.
Further Back in Time for Dinner (BBC2, 9pm)
New series. The Robshaw family experience life at the turn of the 20th century, and discover how the food people ate and the way they consumed it helped shape the modern family. An ordinary house in South London will be their time machine, transporting them through five decades and two world wars. Guided by presenters Giles Coren and social historian Polly Russell, they'll trace the changes to Britain's diet and the extraordinary social transformation they reveal. Monica Galetti and Chas and Dave make guest appearances.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
