The Mysterious Mr Lagerfeld

9pm, BBC Two

Who was the celebrated but controversial man behind the glasses? Film-maker Michael Waldman (Inside Dior; Inside Monaco: Playground of the Rich) speaks to those who were closest to the enigmatic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld (including his neighbour, a niece whom he hadn’t seen for 50 years, and “male model muses”) to find out what happened to his multimillion-euro fortune – and addresses the rumours that he left it all to his beloved pet cat, Choupette.

Designing the Hebrides

8pm, BBC Two

Seven years after moving from Glasgow to Skye, Firuza and Andy make an SOS call to Banjo Beale for help sprucing up their bookshop and cafe.

8.30pm, BBC Two

Race Across the World

9pm, BBC One

It’s no longer the great outdoors that stands between the racing pairs and that £20,000 prize money.

Have you ever tried finding reasonably priced accommodation when the Formula One grand prix is in town? Ellen E Jones

9pm, Sky Arts

Artsy married couple the Moirs – Jim, AKA Vic Reeves and his wife, Nancy – continue their genial mosey around Britain, this week alighting and delighting in Cornwall.

Naked Attraction

10pm, Channel 4

This week’s main attraction in the revealing dating show is Mariia, a pansexual sex therapist who also happens to be a Ukrainian refugee. Probably feeling slightly average in comparison will be Alannah, a content creator from Bristol who has a fondness for dad bods and big noses. Phil Harrison
