WEDNESDAY

Race Across the World (BBC1, 9pm)

The competition is really hotting up as the five pairs leave Dawson City to head to their third checkpoint, the picturesque resort town of Banff, located 2700km away in the province of Alberta. Not only is Banff the highest town in Canada, perched 4500ft above sea-level in the Rocky Mountains, but there are also next to no options to get there by public transport - and the team who arrive last will be eliminated. With a 25-hour lead, Trisha and Cathie think they have enough time on their side to forego blowing their budget on a hire car and instead using the cheaper but less reliable option of a car share. Will their lead evaporate when they find themselves ghosted by a fellow traveller? Meanwhile, Monique suffers an injury that delays her and dad Ladi, while Marc realises he needs to face his fears if he’s to stay in the race.

Inside HMP Whitemoor: Evil Behind Bars (C5, 9pm)

According to this documentary, HMP Whitemoor is Britain’s answer to Alcatraz. Built in 1991 on the 94-acre site of an old railway yard in the middle of the remote Fens in Cambridgeshire, the prison was designed to combat a surge in escapes and house a new breed of convict. Then in 1996, six men managed to escape for a few hours, shattering its reputation. However, Whitemoor has continued to house of to some of the country’s most violent men, and this programme looks at how the changing nature of the prison population has sometimes called for new approaches.

The Bay (STV, 9pm)

Dean has been keen to get back to work, but an old case is about to put a stop to his plans and leave Manning questioning his own career and whether his future really lies in the force. The MIU is under more pressure than ever when an assessor arrives from Divisional HQ, ready to scrutinise their working practices. However, there may be some progress to report when the team discovers a key witness has lied about his alibi, but is the trouble at work about to follow Jenn home, putting her family in danger?

The Cockfields (BBC2, 10pm)

It took a while to migrate from Gold to BBC2, but The Cockfields was worth the wait - it’s only a shame that the first series was just threeepisodes long. In the concluding part, stress levels are rising as the preparations get under way for Simon’s 40th birthday. Melissa turns up nursing a hangover, and Larry gives the birthday boy a red leather jacket which looks ridiculous, much to Ray’s delight. However, it’s a bombshell from David that ensures this is one birthday that Simon will never forget, however much he might want to.

THURSDAY

Reunion Hotel (BBC2, 8pm)

Alex Jones is checking into a hotel in North Wales, where members of the public will get the chance to be reunited with someone who played a pivotal role in their life. Some want to say thank you and others might want answers, but it’s set to be an emotional experience for all of them. The first person to arrive in this opening episode is 21-year-old Tegan, who was on a girls’ trip to London when she slipped and fell onto the tracks at a Tube station, into the path of an incoming train. A stranger pulled her to safety, and she’s hoping that the Reunion Hotel has found him so she can thank him. Meanwhile, Lee only discovered after his mother’s death that he had an older brother who was placed for adoption. Now, he’s hoping to finally meet his long-lost sibling.

Gordon Ramsay’s Future Food Stars (BBC1, 9pm)

In the second episode, Gordon Ramsay continues to put the aspiring food-and-drink entrepreneurs through their paces. They may think they have good ideas, but do they also have raw skills, pure talent and an ability to follow instructions? The fiery chef hopes to find out by whisking the remaining 11 contenders to Anglesey, North Wales, for a masterclass on seaweed. They will then put their newfound knowledge to the test by identifying and harvesting samples, bringing Gordon precisely what he needs - but the tides can be even more challenging than their would-be mentor. Then it’s off to Portmeirion, where Gordon
