Secret Garden
6pm, BBC One
While David Attenborough made his name hanging out with gorillas in Rwanda, amazing wildlife is all around us. In this sparkling new series, the great man shows us a few of the wonders living under our noses. He begins in Oxfordshire where, in the grounds of a beautiful mill house, he discovers scampering voles (careful with your robotic lawnmowers, people!), talking duck eggs and the surprisingly brutal world of the mallard. Inevitably, a delight. Phil Harrison
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer
7.40pm, Channel 4
The charity wing of the baking behemoth rolls on, this time challenging celebrities including Ambika Mod, Rose Ayling-Ellis and Alex Brooker to conjure up mini rolls and syrup sponge puddings. Even more scarily, their showstopper involves recreating their best ever looks in choux pastry form. PH
The Other Bennet Sister
8pm, BBC One
“Miss Bennet, I have a mind to go to Italy. And I cannot imagine going without you.” Mr Ryder’s “modern” proposal of unmarried bliss gives Mary pause for thought, as mother pressures her to accept – and Lizzy attempts to talk her out of it. Meanwhile, there’s another invitation: this one to the Lake District. Ali Catterall
The Capture
9pm, BBC One
Season three of a superb conspiracy thriller has consistently wrong-footed us, slowly shifting the new character of Noah Pierson (Killian Scott) from a creepy supervillain to a wronged potential hero. While he and Carey (Holliday Grainger) flee through an underground tunnel network, it’s time for Carey’s allies on the surface to take the initiative and help out. Jack Seale
Pilgrimage: The Road to Holy Island
9pm, BBC Two
Another celebrity travelogue but this one is also a spiritual journey – undertaken by a seven-strong group including Hermione Norris, Ashley Banjo and Patsy Kensit – through Northumberland towards Lindisfarne. There’s a mixture of faiths (and non-faiths) within the septet, so what can they learn from each other? Wholesome and gentle, arguably to a fault. PH
The Hunt: Prey vs Predator
9pm, Channel 4
More mindlessly enjoyable forest-based intrigue as this super-size game of traitorous TV tag continues. We’ve reached the sixth hunt but one contender is competing as a Predator for the first time – and they’re determined to make the most of it. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, expect a momentous plot twist. PH
Film choice
Being There, 11.50pm, BBC Two
When his Washington DC employer dies, live-in gardener Chance (Peter Sellers) – who has never set foot outside the grounds and gets his limited knowledge of the world entirely from TV – is thrown out on to the streets. But in Hal Ashby’s sly satire, this innocent abroad is taken in by Eve Rand (Shirley MacLaine), the wife of rich, dying businessman Benjamin (Melvyn Douglas). They mistake his simple talk of plants and seasons for brilliant economic metaphors, and Chance’s public profile and undeserved reputation rocket. Sharp but sweet, the film is centred on a fantastically restrained performance by Sellers. Simon Wardell
