Pep Guardiola: Chasing Perfection

10.40pm, BBC One

From growing up in a small Catalan town, to taking Man City to the Premier League title with 100 points, via winning streaks at Barcelona and Bayern Munich – Pep Guardiola is one of the world’s greatest sports managers. City superfan Noel Gallagher sings his praises in this celebratory documentary, along with England and City player Phil Foden and former Barcelona captain Carles Puyol. Hollie Richardson

The Traitors

9pm, BBC One

A poisoned chalice. A dungeon. The worst Traitor yet (yes, that means Ash). A solid format with just a few new twists have ensured a killer second season – and this week we’re down to the last three episodes. It’s impossible to say who will be in the final, but at this rate it certainly won’t disappoint. HR

Murder Trial: The Killing of Dr Brenda Page

9pm, BBC Two

Before her brutal murder in 1978, Dr Brenda Page wrote in a letter: “If I depart this world rather suddenly, please make sure I get a good postmortem.” This gripping two-part series was filmed over several years inside the court as, more than four decades later, her ex-husband Christopher Harrisson finally stood trial accused of her killing.

After the Flood

9pm, ITV1

It may have settled into a lot of the familiar rhythms of a weeknight mystery drama, but Mick Ford’s series still has plenty going for it. There’s the underlying message about the climate crisis, primarily, but there’s also a fine lead performance by Sophie Rundle as PC Jo Marshall, a cop who is just maverick enough to keep our interest. This week, she further irks her annoying husband and fellow officer, Pat (Matt Stokoe). Jack Seale

Johnny Vegas: Carry on Glamping

9pm, Channel 4

The endearingly chaotic series in which Vegas and his bemused assistant Bev source vintage vehicles and upcycle them into “glamping pods” returns. This time Johnny has his heart set on converting a helicopter, which will also mean finding a bigger campsite. But where does one look if you are seeking a Puma? Graeme Virtue

Fire Country

9pm, Sky Witness

Is it hot in here? Or are we watching a new US procedural about a hunky convict who seeks redemption by joining a heroic rescue team in wildfire-prone Northern California? Max Thieriot (Seal Team) executive produces and also stars as Bode Donovan, in a story based on his own background in the region. Ellen E Jones
