Our Yorkshire Farm Channel 5, 9pm

We’re back with Amanda, Clive and their nine “free range” children on their remote sheep farm in the picturesqu­e Yorkshire Dales. Over the next eight weeks, we’ll see the Owens roll with everything from the pandemic to home improvemen­t projects and, of course, the quirks of the great British weather. In the opening episode, there are new beginnings for the whole family. Eight-year-old Sidney is given a sheepdog puppy to train, while Reuben, 16, leaves school behind to start his dream job as a mechanic. On top of that, the family buys a neighbouri­ng derelict farmhouse that they are hoping to bring back to life. But with a 1,000-strong flock of sheep to tend to, are they biting off more than they can chew?

The Syndicate BBC1, 9pm

The kennel colleagues finally track down Frank to his hotel in Monaco, but getting him to admit that he stole their ticket proves to be difficult. While Keeley comes up with a plan, Roxy suggests using Frank’s biggest weakness against him – but it could also put the syndicate members in danger. Back in England, Colette and Theo struggle to keep the understaff­ed kennels running smoothly while the rest of the syndicate are away. Colette considers going on a date with Richard, but she fears that his wealthy business associates will never accept her.

Stacey Dooley: Back on the Psych Ward BBC2, 9pm

Last year, the investigat­ive reporter spent time at Springfiel­d Hospital, one of the oldest mental health units in the UK, to find out what life was like for those being treated there.

She also worked alongside staff as they dealt with patients and made incredibly tough decisions about their treatment. Now Stacey is heading back to find out how the team and the people in their care have been getting on. She also meets some new faces, including Sharif and Jordan, who are dealing with psychosis. Ali, meanwhile, is struggling with the rituals that rule her life, and Vakare, who is in a desperate situation.

Naked Attraction Channel 4, 10pm

In the first episode of the new run, we meet 32-year-old Iain from Manchester. As “Jet Fashion” this wrestler makes some showstoppi­ng moves in the ring, but always seems to get tapped out when it comes to women. He hopes that Anna Richardson can help find him the perfect partner to pin him down for good. Leon from south London is a 31-year-old bi-curious graphic designer who has recently lost weight. He’s looking for the perfect partner – whether female or, for his first time, male – to share his new slimline body with.
