The Celebrity Traitors<\/p>\n
9pm, BBC One<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the one we\u2019ve been waiting for all year. Would Tom Daley stab you in the back with his knitting needles? Has Charlotte Church got some evil notes inside her? Will Stephen Fry\u2019s cleverness further his cunning? These are just some of the 19 familiar people whom Claudia Winkleman is welcoming into the Traitors castle for the first UK celebrity special. The competition starts with an extra-long episode, introducing us to the rest of a cracking lineup, including Celia Imrie, Nick Mohammed, Paloma Faith, Niko Omilana and Alan Carr. Will it be as addictive as the original hit series? With a trailer teasing coffins, screaming and scheming, it\u2019s looking likely. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n
The Hack<\/p>\n
9pm, ITV1<\/p>\n
After episode two\u2019s history lesson about the 1987 Daniel Morgan murder case, we\u2019re back in the world of David Tennant\u2019s Nick Davies as this patchy phone-hacking drama continues. The Guardian is facing a nasty Fleet Street backlash after its revelations, but as Scotland Yard gets involved, things could get even worse. Phil Harrison<\/p>\n

The season finale climaxes with a helmet worn by a beloved grandmother who served as a volunteer during the blitz. Restoring it will mean preserving the wearer\u2019s memory for generations to come. Before that, the team tackle a circus-themed cake topper, a broken clock and a toy monkey that once turned royal heads. Jack Seale<\/p>\n

In the newest series of the compelling art competition, the Hairy Biker Si King, novelist Elif Shafak and former rugby union star Joe Marler sit for their portraits.

Kevin McCloud has seen dozens of dream projects backslide into endless building site purgatory. West Sussex-based couple Pete and Aey look to avoid all that stress by ordering an eco-friendly modular home requiring minimal assembly on their plot. But they still need to knock down the old building, which has become a haven for bats. Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n
9pm, U&Drama<\/p>\n
Detective Anais Mallory (Chelsie Preston Crawford) is a pleasingly obsessed\/maverick cop in this decent Australian crime drama. As the investigation into a nasty helicopter murder progresses, Mallory risks suspension and there\u2019s a Scooby-Doo-style villain reveal. Jack Seale<\/p>\n

Screenwriter Oliver Stone later apologised for the treatment of Turkey in his script for this fact-based 1978 drama (as did its subject, American drug smuggler Billy Hayes). And the sweaty, dirty Istanbul prison where Billy (Brad Davis) is incarcerated is pretty close to hell on Earth, with the Turks either corrupt or sadistic. But taken as fiction, it\u2019s a gripping drama of inhumanity, solidarity and love, featuring great support from John Hurt and Randy Quaid as two fellow inmates: drug addict Max and the irritating but defiant Jimmy.
