Bloods

10pm, Sky Comedy

The reaction to the first season of this ambulance depot comedy was tepid, but a strong cast of top comic actors (Lucy Punch, Jane Horrocks, Julian Barratt and Samson Kayo, to name a few) surely deserves this second outing. In the opening episode, the paramedics Wendy and Maleek find themselves in a hostage situation, while Jo makes no secret of being jealous of Lawrence’s new girlfriend. Most importantly: there are some decent punchlines to be enjoyed along the way. Hollie Richardson

Your Body Uncovered With Kate Garraway

Computer Says No

8pm, BBC Three

That job application you just spent a week writing might not even be read by a human, according to the journalist Daniel Henry in this unsettling documentary about how AI is affecting our career opportunities.

Interior Design Masters With Alan Carr

9pm, BBC One

Hotels week. The nine designers are at Wotton House in Surrey, where they will each work their magic on a room with the theme “British eccentricity”. Michelle Ogundehin does not want to see any union jacks, fish and chips or bulldogs. “You don’t want my family visiting, then?” asks Carr. HR

Audrey (Helena Coan, 2020) 9pm, Sky Arts
It is easy to forget the impact that the actor Audrey Hepburn made in the mid-50s. With her open face, ballerina’s poise and Givenchy-styled look, she epitomised a thoroughly modern female lifestyle. The camera loved her and this insightful documentary from Helena Coan makes the most of it, while audio interviews reveal her insecurity about her public image and private relationships. After her semi-retirement at the end of the 60s, her work with Unicef in the late 80s brought her back into the public eye, the film implying her charity endeavours gave her life a purpose the movies rarely did.
