Tales from the Coast with Robson Green (ITV, 8pm)

New series. The actor meets people who share his passion for the British coast, beginning with north Devon, a 90-mile stretch of shoreline that holds fond childhood memories for him. Robson starts his adventures by visiting the popular seaside resort of Ilfracombe, a town that stills attracts thousands of visitors every summer, to experience the classic British day out by the sea. After spending a night under canvas, he takes a boat ride to the port of Clovelly, a village that evokes the character and atmosphere of a bygone age, and visits the island of Lundy.

Further Back in Time for Dinner (BBC2, 8pm)

The Robshaw family enter the turbulent 1910s and the First World War turns all their lives upside down, putting Rochelle back in the kitchen instead of servant Debbie. Never a natural cook, she struggles to feed the family as supplies start to run out and the war puts an end to their previously carefree lives. However, the decade has its positives too with the freedom of a bike ride and an idyllic picnic, and a visit from celebrity chef John Torode - but even he cannot salvage something tasty from 1918's fish sausages.

Sugar Free Farm (ITV, 9pm)

It's the final stage of the latest celebrity weight loss challenge, but those famous faces aren't out of the woods yet. Joe Pasquale visits the village fair where he attempts to avoid beloved sweet distractions, while Peter Davison hopes he can resist cupcakes. Meanwhile, Gemma Collins attempts to come to terms with farmwork, and it seems the absence of sugar has had a positive effect on Alison Hammond's tastebuds. Plus, last year's famous farmhand Jennifer Ellison shares her experience, and a final weigh-in reveals if the celebrity labourers have won their battle of the bulge. Will the likes of Stavros Flatley and Ann Widdecombe achieve their ideal weight, or has temptation proved too great?
