The British Tribe Next Door
9.15pm, Channel 4
Scarlett Moffatt , of Gogglebox fame, has many questions for the Namibian Himba tribe – with whom her family are staying for a week in an identical replica of their suburban home. They include “Where do they get their toilet paper from?” and “How many cows would you give for me?” A familiar narrative ensues – as the Moffatts have their eyes opened to a “simpler way of life” and the tribe are exposed to the wonders of wifi. Ultimately, it is undercooked, dated and naive. Ammar Kalia
The Great British Bake Off
8pm, Channel 4
The tent full of innuendo, rage and tastiness keeps on giving – and now it is semi-final time. Tonight, the four remaining bakers show off their patisserie skills. The technical challenge is that tricky tower of creamy power – the croquembouche – while the hopefuls must create an edible display case for the showstopper. Hannah Verdier
Dublin Murders
9pm, BBC One
Will a traumatised Cassie (Sarah Greene) follow the suggestion of Frank (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor) and go undercover as “Lexie” to find her double’s murderer? Will she heck. But, of course, things can change within the space of an episode. Meanwhile, there is further grief in store for Cassie, when Rob (Killian Scott) clings to, then savagely rejects, her. Ouch. Ali Catterall
Love in the Countryside

It is the final episode of Sara Cox’s rural dating show, where there has been many a kiss among the haystacks and a whole load of wellies. Cox checks back in with Cumbrian farmer Katy and her romance with ex-biker David while helping Welsh shepherd Ioan find love. Heartwarming. AK
Defending the Guilty
10pm, BBC Two
Will (Will Sharpe) is approaching the end of his pupillage and his relationship with Nessa (Claudia Jessie) is definitely over. He is ready to stand “on his feet”, as the barrister parlance goes, but is that what he wants? Meanwhile, Caroline (Katherine Parkinson) pauses her career crisis long enough to offer some dubious advice: “You’ll make mistakes; don’t admit to them.”

Spank Me Harder: The Sex Business
10pm, Channel 5
This destigmatising series returns for a week’s worth of programming on the business of sex work. The opener looks at the world of female submissives, hired to engage in roleplay with their clients. It is a refreshing, strait-laced take on an often misrepresented world. AK
Film choice
Blade (Stephen Norrington, 1998), 10pm, ITV4
Marvel’s recently announced reboot of the vampire-slayer Blade, starring Moonlight’s Mahershala Ali, is some way off, but there is much to enjoy about the 1998 original. Wesley Snipes is stylish and efficient as the half-human, half-vampire hero in this entertaining, gory slice of modern gothic. Paul Howlett
