Charlene White: Empire’s Child

9pm, ITV

The latest of ITV’s very worthwhile explorations of Black identity sees Loose Women’s Charlene White go on a journey of self-discovery that is equal parts Who Do You Think You Are? and Black Lives Matter. As a Black Briton of Jamaican origin, White is aware that her relationship with the British empire is potentially complex. But, as she uncovers her genealogy, she starts to make some surprising discoveries about the forces that have shaped both her life and the lives of her family. Phil Harrison

Shop Well for the Planet?

Another amiable hour in the company of Dave and Si, whose northern England foodie tour explores Yorkshire.

Mel Giedroyc is on cheerleading duties, bringing encouragement and gentle wood-related double entendres. PH

Guilt

9pm, BBC Two

Dark side of the Forth: season two of the blackly comic Edinburgh-set thriller continues as semi-contrite Max (Mark Bonnar) and well-meaning Kenny (Emun Elliott) search for the bag of cash that has left chaos in its wake. Max almost seems back to his sleek old self, at least until a pal from inside comes calling. Graeme Virtue

Taskmaster

It’s the 100th episode of Taskmaster, which can’t have seemed a likely landmark when this berserk comedy challenge show began back in 2015. To celebrate, Victoria Coren Mitchell will be attempting to make flapjacks, Morgana Robinson will be slicing up plastic balls and Guz Khan will barricade himself inside the Taskmaster house. Here’s to the next 100. PH
