PICK OF THE DAY

STAND UP & DELIVER

9PM, CH4 ★★★★

People will do anything for charity and now, five celebs are taking on the surprisingly scary task of stand-up comedy for Stand Up To Cancer – but with a little help. Across two parts, we see David Baddiel mentoring an uninspired Reverend Richard Coles, and Jason Manford is paired with wayward Shaun Ryder (right), whose mind often goes blank. Zoe Lyons supports Corrie’s Katie Mcglynn, who struggles without a script, and Judi Love tries to rein in lively dancer Curtis Pritchard. And Tory peer Baroness Sayeeda Warsi is reluctantly aided by Nick Helm.

HOW TO KEEP A HEALTHY WEIGHT WITH MICHAEL MOSLEY

8PM, CH4 ★★★ The first weeks of a new year are a time of dieting for many, but keeping the weight off is another story. Dr Michael uses cutting-edge tests on volunteers from his weightloss regime to see just how many calories people need for maintenance, and how much impact exercise has on this.

CORONAVIRUS: A HORIZON SPECIAL – WHAT WE KNOW NOW

9PM, BBC2 ★★★★ Twin doctors Chris and Xand van Tulleken, along with Dr Guddi Singh, take us through how viruses mutate and the effect of this on vaccines, as well as how super-spreading can be controlled. It’s a really interesting watch to help us to better understand the latest science behind Covid-19.

PIERS MORGAN’S LIFE STORIES

9PM, ITV ★★★★ She may have hosted her own chat show where guests bared all, but now, it’s time for Trisha Goddard to reflect on her life. In a very honest chat, Trisha talks about her three failed marriages, surviving breast cancer, racism and her mental health struggles. She also shares the joys of her long TV career. TESSA JONES
