What if it meant winning \u00a3100k? Here comes another controversial reality challenge show thinly disguised as a social experiment to bridge together complete opposites in a divisive society. In a bizarre Blind Date format, Jonathan Ross completely mismatches pairs who are then handcuffed and set off on a road trip around the UK doing everything \u2013 including showering \u2013 together. The first couples include a body-inclusive feminist and a gym-bro alpha male, a cleaner and a millionaire, and the working-class historian who has to react to that painting. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n<p>DTF St Louis<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">9pm, Sky Atlantic<br \/>Fresh from the fallout of Lily Allen\u2019s tell-all album about her messy open marriage with David Harbour, here\u2019s her soon-to-be-ex-husband starring in a black comedy drama about a married man who discovers an app for people who are \u201cdown to fuck\u201d strangers \u2026 Ouch! Linda Cardellini plays his equally bored wife and Jason Bateman is the friend who introduces him to the app, which certainly spices things up. HR<\/p>\n<p>Silent Witness<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">9pm, BBC One<br \/>The concluding two-part episode in the latest season of Oxfordshire-based forensic pathology involves the apparent suicide of a young British Chinese activist found floating in a river. But why is Dr Nikki (Emilia Fox) meeting so much obstruction from Sean Gilder\u2019s DI Casey? Phil Harrison<\/p>\n<p>AI Confidential with Hannah Fry<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">9pm, BBC Two<br \/>In March 2018, a driverless Uber struck a pedestrian in Arizona at 39mph. \u201cBy the time Rafaela Vasquez looked up \u2026 it was too late.\u201d In her first TV interview, Vasquez talks to Fry, who also learns about AI\u2019s systemic flaws and the (potentially deadly) corporate pressures driving the tech. Ali Catterall<\/p>\n<p>Small Prophets<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">10pm, BBC Two<\/p>\n<p>The heat is on \u2026 Pearce Quigley and Lauren Patel in Small Prophets. Photograph: BBC\/Hot Olives Productions Ltd<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">A mountain of manure has been delivered and Michael is ready to bury the jars of homunculi to make them grow. As he sits and waits with a beer, he opens up to new pal Kacey about the life he had with Clea. Meanwhile, neighbour Bev is desperate to get involved. More magic and laughs from Mackenzie Crook\u2019s oddball comedy. HR<\/p>\n<p>Industry<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">10.40pm, BBC One<br \/>Where comparisons were once made with Cool Britannia drama This Life, as Industry reaches the end of its gripping fourth season it feels more like Succession. Henry (Kit Harington) realises the extent of the malpractice at Tender \u2013 but will he take Whitney (Max Minghella) up on one final offer? Hannah J Davies<\/p>\n<p>Film choice<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Enduring Love, 1.30am, Film4<\/p>\n<p>Crash landing \u2026 Daniel Craig, Samantha Morton and Rhys Ifans in Enduring Love. Photograph: Nicola Dove\/Pathe<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Science academic Joe (Daniel Craig) and his partner Claire (Samantha Morton), a sculptor, are having a picnic in a field when a balloon crash-lands. The subsequent fatal incident leads to Joe\u2019s life falling apart \u2013 due to trauma and guilt but also because Jed (Rhys Ifans), another witness to the event, has become fixated on him. Roger Michell\u2019s absorbing take on the Ian McEwan novel adds thriller elements to a debate about the nature of love, from the selfish gene version to which Joe subscribes, to the inexplicable, intuitive version seen at its most extreme in Jed.
