FOOTBALL Bayer Leverkusen v Tottenham Hotspur, 7pm, BT Sport 2

AUCTION CONTEST Celebrity Storage Hunters, 8pm, Dave

TIM VINE, Christophe­r Biggins (pictured) and Nancy Dell’Olio are among the bidders as the celebrity version returns for a full series. The most animated participan­ts by far are Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby and Holly Hagan, who take no prisoners during the auctions.

GOOD WOOD Oak Tree: Nature’s Greatest Survivor, 9pm, BBC4

EPISODE two of Sharon Horgan’s dark comedy picks up right after the first, with Frances (Sarah Jessica Parker, pictured) trying to claw her way back into her husband’s good graces.
