Waiting for the Out<\/p>\n
9.30pm, BBC One<\/p>\n
Josh Finan is a top new talent, with hit shows Say Nothing and The Responder under his belt. He takes the lead role in this brilliant new drama as Dan, a philosopher who for the first time is teaching men in prison. But this triggers Dan\u2019s own past traumas, specifically unresolved business with his violent father. Based on Andy West\u2019s memoir and written by Dennis Kelly (Pulling, Together) the interactions at the lessons alone are deeply fascinating. Hollie Richardson <\/p>\n

Sloth! Teabag! Can of Worms! Conkers! Toastie! It can only be the return of telly\u2019s zaniest singing show. As the first masked singers make their debut performances, the judges are ready to guess which celebrities they are. Plus, Goldfish fronts the Masked Singer band. HR<\/p>\n
The Traitors<\/p>\n
7.45pm, BBC One<\/p>\n
Given the success of the celebrity edition, it\u2019s easy to forget that it\u2019s been a whole year since the last norm version. Or that it\u2019s usually by this point in the series that we\u2019re starting to warm to certain characters. Spare a thought for the first victims: no one ever remembers the people who get booted out in week one. Alexi Duggins<\/p>\n
40 Duets at the BBC<\/p>\n
9pm, BBC Two<\/p>\n
From obvious classics (Kylie and Jason, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton) to duets that seemed absurd until they happened (Eminem and Dido, anyone?), this archival dive plots yet another route through the BBC\u2019s vast music collection. Expect to hear from Meat Loaf and Cher, Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, and George Michael and Aretha Franklin. Phil Harrison<\/p>\n
The Hunting Wives<\/p>\n
10pm, ITV1<\/p>\n
The fantastically trashy satire of Texas housewives continues to sizzle. As the friendship between ringleader Margo (Malin Akerman) and newcomer Sophie (Brittany Snow) intensifies, cast-off Callie (Jaime Ray Newman) becomes increasingly jealous. In less sexy news: who is the dead woman in the woods? HR<\/p>\n

It has been a decade since we woke up to face a world without David Bowie. From there, things went really downhill. This incredibly affecting film traces those mixed years (Tin Machine, Glastonbury) before the flame suddenly surged with The Next Day and that strategic, graceful, public farewell and requiem, his final album Blackstar.
