CRITIC’S CHOICE

- GERARD GILBERT

PICK OF THE DAY Love Triangle

10pm, Channel 4

Another new dating show, but before anyone rolls their eyes heavenward­s it should be noted that this one is from the makers of Married At First Sight Australia – the Aussie original often considered to be the best of the internatio­nal versions by MAFS aficionado­s. In fact, it’s a sort of blend between that show and Love Is Blind, as one singleton exchanges text messages with two potential suitors. She (in this case teaching assistant Jasmine, left) must then pick one suitor, sight unseen, to move in with – before being joined later by the rejected suitor. It’s a genuinely interestin­g concept, and the results of this “threesome” are being described as “explosive”.

=== Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr

8pm, BBC One

The semi-final sees Ben, Matt and Roisin head to Wembley Arena, where they are tasked to revamp backstage dressing rooms for the stars (or as Michelle Ogundehin puts it: “Five-star spaces for five-star people”). While Ben goes theatrical with an all-white 1930s-style dressing room, Matt chooses contempora­ry hotel vibes and Roisin opts for botanicals. Helping judge the results is Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

=== Aldi’s Next Big Thing

8pm, Channel 4

This slightly addictive shopping version of Dragons’ Den continues with Aldi executives listening to pitches from the makers of a cocoafree confection­ery bar, a protein chocolate that promises to make the consumer more beautiful (too good to be true?), super-strong CBD gummies and a toffee cauldron concept that gives a modern take on a traditiona­l sweet favourite.

=== The Yorkshire Vet

8pm, Channel 5

A new run of one of Channel 5’s biggest hits, as vet Peter Wright faces a difficult lambing at an old friend’s farm. At Donaldson’s animal hospital in Huddersfie­ld, meanwhile, Rohin Aojula is under pressure when he has to sedate a well-loved pot-bellied pig and Matt Smith treats a hawk with painful legs.

=== Changing Ends

8.30pm, ITV1

Alan Carr’s sweet, 1980s-set autobiogra­phical comedy sees the young Alan (the superb Oliver Savell) arriving at big school. “Don’t get distracted by girls,” advises dad Graham (Shaun Dooley), still oblivious to his son’s real interests – which also don’t include sports and the rough-and-tumble of the playground. In fact, Alan prefers hanging out with the dinner ladies.

=== Glitter: The Popstar Paedophile

9pm, ITV1

Exploring the dual life of performer and predatory abuser Gary Glitter, documentin­g his crimes against children committed both in the UK
