Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace
9pm, ITV1
A new run of this affecting, long-running series which uses a mixture of fancy DNA technology and old-school sleuthing to reunite people with their biological families. We begin with Simon who, in 1966, was left in the outside toilet block of a mother-and-baby home in south Wales. We also meet Lisa, who almost 60 years ago, was left in another baby’s pram. Can Davina McCall, Nicky Campbell and their team help the pair find some answers about their origins? Expect tearful revelations. Phil Harrison

Dom remains on terra firma but mucks in with flame cleaning and regilding the spire’s golden cockerel weathervane. GV

Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make-Up Star
9pm, BBC Three
It’s makeup brushes at dawn for Cherise, Jake and Jade, but who will get a “ding dong, darling!” from judge Val Garland, and who is weeping before they’ve even finished their final look? Luckily, the reality contest remains largely feelgood TV, even during this tense finale. Hannah J Davies
Unspun World With John Simpson
11pm, BBC Two
An unvarnished take on the week’s biggest stories (recorded so close to transmission that no details are available in advance). Which rather prompts the question: can one take a proper overview before the dust has settled? BBC world affairs editor John Simpson is having a go anyway. AC
