MADELEINE MCCANN: THE HUNT FOR THE PRIME SUSPECT

9PM, ITV ★★★★ Most of us know about the disappearance of three-yearold Madeleine Mccann (right) from a holiday flat in Portugal 13 years ago. There have been false sightings and conspiracy theories, but no strong clues in the case – until convicted sex offender Christian B, 43, was named prime suspect in June. Julie Etchingham leads this investigation into why it has taken so long for the German man, who was living nearby at the time, to be linked to Madeleine’s disappearance. Be prepared for some disturbing details as the case deepens.

WONDERS OF THE COAST PATH

8PM, ITV ★★★

From just outside Chester to Chepstow, the 870-mile Wales Coast Path has truly incredible views. In this new series, Sean Fletcher travels the route, meeting locals on the way. In part one, he heads towards Anglesey to look for natterjack toads, visit a prehistoric copper mine and prepare some freshly farmed oysters.

INSIDE BRITAIN’S FOOD FACTORIES

8.30PM, ITV ★★★

We all have our favourite food brands, but have you ever wondered just how the most popular items are made? Here’s a chance to find out as this first of a new series reveals the secrets of the Wagon Wheels factory, and shows how perfect pork pies are produced in Melton Mowbray.

DEAR NHS SUPERSTARS

9PM, BBC1 ★★★★

The staff of the NHS have shown how invaluable they are in recent times, but they have always been an essential part of our lives. In this funny and touching one-off, famous faces including Lenny Henry, Adrian Lester, Katie Piper and Konnie Huq pay homage to those who have helped them over the years. TESSA JONES

It’s taken a few weeks, but this series finally has its feet firmly back on familiar ground – the Nazis. The first abandoned site we visit in this new episode is an eerie ex-factory in Poland, which was used by Hitler (left) to make explosives on a vast scale during the Second World War.

This new series fits a cosy niche. A team (left) travel the US, looking for old log cabins, then rebuild them into modern homes with a frontier heart. Tonight, they’re in Tennessee, and find a cabin with many different styles layered on top. (Freeview 37, Freesat 150, Sky 172, Virgin 171)

ARCTIC ALONE

10PM, SKY HISTORY ★★★

Ten contenders, including Correy (left), try to survive for 100 days and win $1 million in a new series that opens with a quote about solitude from Aristotle. It isn’t always easy to hang on to a philosophical approach, especially when you’re freaking out about bears in the middle of the night.

ssTHE SUSURRATIONS OF TREES

11.30AM, RADIO 4 HHHHH Every species of tree makes a particular sound as the wind blows through the branches.
