Best TV shows on TV tonight
Joanna Lumley and the Human Swan, 9pm, ITV
This inspiring film sees Joanna Lumley and conservationist Sacha Dench, aka The Human Swan, raise awareness about climate change and meet those doing something about it. From wind farms and pioneering eco-villages designed to create zero-carbon, to clothes made from plastic waste, Joanna and Sacha aim to show the positive steps we can make and get behind. ‘We can change things for the better’ says Joanna. ‘But most importantly we must hold our governments to account.’

The Outlaws, 9pm, BBC1
This likeable comedy drama is shaping up rather nicely as the offenders somewhat reluctantly settle into serving their Community Payback and, although some tensions are still simmering, it’s lovely to see surprising but rather sweet friendships starting to build up within the rag-tag group. As we find out more about what caused lawyer Greg (Stephen Merchant) and socialite Gabby (Eleanor Tomlinson) to end up in trouble, canny crook Frank (Christopher Walken) tries his best to bond with his awkward young grandson. But storm clouds are looming on the horizon for Christian (Gamba Cole), whose bag of loot is set to bring fresh problems...

Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House, 9pm, Really
A new version of the popular show begins as auctioneer Angus Ashworth tackles the homes of celebs in need of a clear-out. Angus runs a Yorkshire-based auction house, which specialises in clearing clutter, finding hidden treasures and selling them for profit. First to open his door to Angus and his team is Craig Revel Horwood. Imagine what they’ll find hidden in his cupboards. Maybe a Strictly ‘10’ paddle? Next, is John Sergeant – he has a valuable heirloom to sell, which he hopes will attract four-figure bids.

Best box set to watch on TV tonight
Colin in Black and White, season 1, Netflix
Former NFL quarterback and activist Colin Kaepernick co-created this six-part drama series about his early life. He narrates his own story as actor Jaden Michael plays the young Colin, a black kid adopted by a white family who just wanted to play American football. It delves into the obstacles he faced as a child, the issues of race, class and culture that led him to sit down during the American national anthem in a pre-season game in 2016. He then took the knee for the rest of the season, as a protest against the treatment of black people, which angered President Donald Trump, but sparked a global movement that highlighted inequality around the world.
