WHAT can't you miss on TV tonight? Our guide to the must-see shows...
NEW! Robson Crusoe: A Surprising Adventure, 9pm, ITV
As an 11-year-old boy in Northumberland, Robson Green loved Robinson Crusoe, the classic Daniel Defoe novel about a man shipwrecked on a desert island.
And so he jumped at this chance to be marooned for a week in the South China Sea, to relive the adventure.
However, it proves to be no island paradise – within an hour of landing and trying to construct a shelter, he’s vomiting his guts up and has to call in a doctor.
Not a promising start.
And things don’t get much better as he struggles to find clean water, malarial mosquitoes make sleeping impossible and there are snakes everywhere.
Still, as we all know, he’s an expert angler so he’ll have no problem catching fish, will he…? He may come to love the adventure, but it’s most fun watching him gently suffer.
NEW! Yellowstone: The Wildest Winter, 9pm, BBC Two
The Beeb spoiled us in 2016 with nature shows, and this three-parter with Kate Humble and Patrick Aryee gets 2017 off to a flying start.
Starting with winter in the US National Park – think grizzly bears, red foxes, wolves and bison – it continues on Wednesday and Thursday with looks at spring and summer. An utter delight.
NEW! Celebrity Big Brother Live launch, 9pm, Channel 5
Stephen Bear caused the most divided house in CBB history and still won last summer.
It proves that the producers aren’t afraid of controversy and this time around, host Emma Willis (above) welcomes a batch of celeb newbies alongside some CBB veterans who’ve been invited back to the bungalow. Please let one of them be Gary Busey!
NEW! How To Lose Weight Well, 8p, Channel 4
