Best TV shows on TV tonight
Casualty, 8.50 pm, BBC One
Hold onto your scrub hats (they very usefully double up as hankies) as this week’s visit to Holbyland is very definitely an emotional roller coaster. As the action picks up directly from last Saturday’s shocking cliffhanger, Robyn Miller (Amanda Henderson) is trapped in her car and there’s a major delay in getting her to the ED due to a shortage of available ambulances. Robyn’s life hangs in the balance, but hope appears in the form of super-surgeon Sacha Levy (Holby City fan-favourite Bob Barrett - good to see you, sir). Time is of the essence, but if anyone can save our Robyn, it’s good old Sacha in this unmissable episode.

Starstruck, 8.45 pm, ITV1
This singing contest has become a firm favourite with the Gogglebox armchair critics and it’s not hard to see why, as ordinary people get the chance to become their idols. And the show’s not messing about tonight as we get to see three wannabes turned into one of the greatest singers of all time, bringing a hit of old-style glamour. But, as judge Beverley Knight says, ‘Who, who, who?!’ This week, Ronan Keating joins the panel alongside Beverley, Adam Lambert and Jason Manford and he’s blown away by one performance in particular. ‘I came here to be entertained,’ says Ronan, ‘and that was incredible.’

Challenge Anneka, 8.50 pm, Channel 5
Thirty years after she first donned her legendary jumpsuit, Anneka Rice is back with a four-episode revival of her 1990s show – and the deserving projects are bigger than ever, including a challenge to build a community food hub, as well as an outdoor centre for teens with mental-health issues. Tonight, Anneka’s at a dog rescue centre in Kent revamping the kennels with the help of an army of volunteers. The weather gets in the way, but rain doesn’t dampen community spirit.Fans of the original will be delighted to see the return of Anneka’s trusty blue buggy and Dave the soundman! Must-watch nostalgia TV…
★★★★ HD
Villeneuve Pironi: Racing's Untold Tragedy, 6.30 pm, Sky Documentaries, NOW
This gripping documentary profiles Formula One stars and Ferrari teammates Gilles Villeneuve and Didier Pironi, both of whom died young. We hear how their friendship ended when Pironi ignored team orders and overtook Villeneuve to win the 1982 San Marino Grand Prix. Villeneuve died in a crash at the next race, and Pironi suffered terrible injuries at Hockenheim and subsequently lost his life in a powerboating accident. A fascinating insight into the sport and how much more dangerous it used to be.
